Johnny Depp~the Outlaw in Public Enemy

Johnny Depp doesn't play by Hollywood rules, and now his rebel streak taps a kindred spirit in the role of John Dilllinger in Public Enemies. The film opens today, just in time for our long weekend. It's a Micheal Mann gangster epic in which he plays famed 1930's bank robber John Dillinger. Depp says he felt an instant connection to Dillinger, the bold-yet-humble bank robber who lived in old films that Depp watched for hours on his family's black-and-white, rabbit-eared TV. When it comes to the old Warner Bros., his heart soars. "I guess the era got me, the 30's, 40's and even the 20's. I was fascinated with the old Bogey movies, with Cagney movies, or even Fred Astaire." "The title of the film is Public Enemies, but I don't see John Dillinger as an enemy of the public." adds Depp. About the film as he is asked is there anything else he would like to add he says, "I hope it's good". Oh, Johnny, I am sure it is.
