Johnny Depp, filming “Public Enemies” this week at a Northern Wisconsin resort, will return to Chicago next month, insiders say. The thrice-nominated Oscar nominee will resume shooting May 9 downtown.
The John Dillinger-come-lately wraps the Depression-era saga here June 15.
Director Michael Mann, one for historical accuracy, is currently re-creating the shootout at the Little Bohemia Lodge in Manitowish Waters, where the FBI cornered the outlaw after he escaped from Lake County Jail. Dillinger eluded capture again, prompting the local joke, “Dillinger only left because he had to.”
A scoop: Billy Crudup (“Almost Famous”) has been cast as J. Edgar Hoover.
