PUBLIC ENEMIES In theaters July 1
You could say being an outlaw runs in Johnny Depp's blood. After all, his grandfather ran moonshine on the back roads of Kentucky during Prohibition. So it shouldn't come as any surprise that the actor jumped at the chance to play John Dillinger in Public Enemies. ''Dillinger was one of those guys, like Charlie Chaplin and Evel Knievel, that I was fascinated with at a young age,'' says Depp. ''And because of my grandfather, the character was pretty easy for me to connect to. In a way, this movie was a salute to him.''
Based on a book by Bryan Burrough, Enemies is a cat-and-mouse thriller about the early days of the FBI, and one agent's pursuit of the Depression-era bank robber whose dizzy reign of stickups and near escapes ended in a hail of bullets outside of Chicago's Biograph Theater in 1934. Dillinger lived fast, died young, and left not only a handsome corpse but a legacy as one of the most notorious criminals of the 20th century. www.ew.com/ew/gallery/0,,20249045,00.html

Snazzy outfit he's wearing.
The Biograph is the theater where I saw Last Crusade.
Cheers, John

I can't wait for this film! A major plot point takes place in my hometown of Dayton, Ohio! It is actually a funny story of how the Dayton police had Dillinger in custody but let him go with a minor weapons violation. Hahahaha! That's my hometown, folks.
