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.

Casting is continuing apace on the eagerly anticipated gangster film Public Enemies, which recounts the story of the Dillinger gang — the notorious bank robbers who brought their deadly brand of illegal skulduggery to depression-era America.
Johnny Depp was already set to play Dillinger himself, while Christian Bale has been cast as Melvin Bale – the FBI agent who tried to bring him down.
Now, according to Variety, director Micheal Mann (Heat, Miami Vice) has signed up five new faces for the project.
Dillinger’s gang has now been cast, with Channing Tatum (also the latest addition to G.I. Joe), Blade’s Stephen Dorff, Giovanni “Phoebe’s brother in Friends” Ribisi and Jason Clarke all set to play the criminal ensemble.
Marion Cotillard, meanwhile, who many consider an Oscar shoo-in for her performance as French warbler Edith Piaf in La Vie en Rose, will play Billie Frechette, Dillinger’s lover.
The film, based on the best selling non-fiction book of the same name, will begin shooting in Chicago on March 10.
We just received this information from a person who wants to remain anonymous, but it’s still an interesting information.
I am actually working with Stephen on “XIII” in Toronto and Hamilton, where he is shooting, on location, until the end of January.
FYI he has cut off all his hair. He did it for a prison movie shoot-and is keeping it off for the character of XIII.
Thank you for letting us know!
Botched has won two awards at the New York City Horror Film Festival that was held on October 24th-28th, 2007.
The awards that the film received were Best Feature and Best Actor. The Best Actor went to none other that our Mr. Dorff. Congratulations!

Power will attend the Asia Television Forum (ATF) this month with a portfolio of new co-productions and a diverse slate of TV series and mini-series.
Power’s lineup includes the 2×2-hour action thriller XIII: The Conspiracy, which stars Val Kilmer and Stephen Dorff; The Summit, a two-part mini-series for CBC from writer John Krizanc; the 2×90-minute original dramatic TV movie Flood; and Pinocchio, an adaptation of the classic fairy tale, starring Bob Hoskins, Robbie Kay and Joss Ackland.
Also available at the ATF is Power’s newly commissioned 13-hour remake of the television classic Robinson Crusoe for NBC. The show is an adaptation of Daniel Defoe’s novel and centers on the challenges faced by the castaway.
The Power Thrillers on offer include the made-for-TV movies Lethal Obsession and Voices. Lethal Obsession stars Kellie Martin (Live Once, Die Twice, ER) as a young mother who is hiding from her past, and Voices follows the journey of a recently widowed woman named Ellie, played by Amy Acker (Angel, Alias), who discovers she has the ability to communicate with the dead.
George Sakkalli, Power’s VP of Asian sales and distribution, said: “With its growing appetite for foreign entertainment, Asia is an extremely important marketplace. Our aim will be to forge new local alliances to meet the demand for both content and distribution, whilst significantly increasing Power’s presence in the territory.”
