Anyone know if this movie is based on Bryan Burrough's book Public Enemies?It has the same title and deals with the same figures. IMDB does not list any connection but it seems likely.

The book is sitting on my book shelf. I should bump it up on the reading list before the movie comes out.

I believe it is, however, Gangs of New York was "based on" the book by Herbert Asbury - like a praagraph or two - and this looks as if it might take a similar approach. The book's well worth reading in any case.

Yes, it is. The book is excellent.

Johnny Depp + Christian Bale = Smelling salts in the theatre.
Is it just me, or does Christian Bale have a better American accent than most people in the States? :eusa_doh:

I'll certainly see this in theatres... one of the few worth watching when the student prices have been bumped up to $8 now. :rolleyes:

I'm going to jump over to this thread since we have two going. Here's a link to more images as the crew works here in Oshkosh this week:

The set up in Oshkosh looks really well done and looked good down in Columbus also. A budy in Crown Point sent me images and it looked great there also. They are really paying attention to detail. My photographer's studio was turned into a newstand/tobacco shop and most of the items were originals or good reproductions. I should have some portraits to post of my wife and I on the set next week.

It has been mentioned on other boards that the blond is in fact Claire from LOST.

I've looked over some of the pics from shooting on Wed and noticed extras who were w/ me for the Fri night shoot...they're wearing the exact same clothes!? They went so far as to put makeup on my whitewalls for color, yet they're using the same people in the same clothes for two different shoots & cities? You'd think they'd at least switch it up a bit.

edit: Nic, can't wait to see your pics.
