I’m excited to announce that Public Enemies has officially started shooting in Columbus, Wisconsin and they now have the movie details up at IMDB. There’s also a great blog with details on the movie HERE.

I’m also pleased to say that I’ve added some photos from on the set, courtesy of Michelle, who has kindly let me use them here at Stephen Dorff Network. She has many more photos from on the set and around town HERE. I have added 3 images of Stephen to the gallery HERE. I will hopefully be adding more in the next few days.

Stephen plays bank robber Homer Van Meter, who was a criminal associate of John Dillinger, played by Johnny Depp, and the film is set in the 1930′s.

After weeks of speculation, visits by Hollywood scouts and casting calls, Governor Jim Doyle officially announced a deal with Universal Pictures to bring the film Public Enemies to the Badger State this spring. The production will be shot in multiple locations around Wisconsin.

Based on the book of the same name by Bryan Burrough, the movie will follow the exploits of John Dillinger, the original “Public Enemy Number One,” as he and his gang are pursued by the FBI across the Upper Midwest from 1933-’34. It is being produced and directed by Academy Award nominee Michael Mann.

Public Enemies boasts an impressive cast, one that is growing in profile week by week. Leading the way as Dillinger is Johnny Depp. Christian Bale will be playing FBI agent Melvin Purvis, and Marion Cotillard, is playing Evelyn “Billie” Frechette, a young Wisconsin-born woman who was Dillinger’s main squeeze during his final year in action.

Rounding out the cast is Channing Tatum as Pretty Boy Floyd, Giovanni Ribisi as Alvin Karpis, and Stephen Dorff as Homer Van Meter.

Dorff is currently in Chicago for pre-production and has been all over the place, including catching shows at the House of Blues and rockin’ out with DJ Whiteshadow at Manor. The film will shoot in Chicago and around Wisconsin from March through June.
