I have added a whole bunch of new photos of Stephen on the set of Public Enemies, to the gallery, including some lucky fans who got to meet him. A huge thanks and full credit goes to Nikolle, Worthington, Chad Wilkinson, and Peggy for allowing me to post their Public Enemies set photos to the gallery. Nikolle told me that Stephen was ‘Fantastic. Very nice, patient and good at playing pool.’ You can see more of Nikolle’s photos from the set here. 

Public Enemies Filming in Oshkosh Gallery

Public Enemies wrapped shooting in Oshkosh on Friday, and they are now set to start filming in Northwoods, at Little Bohemia in Manitowish Waters. For the past week, Director Michael Mann’s production company turned a large part of downtown Oshkosh into a 1930s movie set for the site of two different bank robberies. Film crews wrapped up a frantic last day of shooting in downtown Oshkosh at 6 p.m. Friday.

During the afternoon, film crews made rapid shifts from inside the bank building at 404 N. Main St. to the bank’s exterior and over to Washington Avenue. The brisk pace kept crowds struggling to keep up as vintage cars moved from set to set and the sound of guns rang out in different locations.

At 4:20 p.m. Friday, the sound of machine gun fire brought groups of people scrambling from vantage points behind the Exclusive Co., where the Main Street scenes were visible, over to Washington Avenue where additional scenes were shot in front of the Masonic Temple.

The teardown on North Main Street began first thing Saturday morning. Crews spent most of the day tearing down awnings, storefronts, signs and everything else that rewound Oshkosh to the 1930s.

I have added 741 screencaps of the 1994 film Backbeat. It tells the story of The Beatles when they were first starting out. Stephen plays the ‘fifth Beatle’, Stuart Sutcliffe, who had only a passing interest in music and a passion for painting. It’s a story of love, music, friendship, innocence lost and legends born.

I have also added to the gallery various Photoshoots, Blood and Wine promotionals, and thanks again to Michelle for 2 new photos of Stephen on the set of Public Enemies in Columbus and Oshkosh.

And lastly, there’s a great read about Stephen filming Public Enemies here.

WiscNews has reported that the movie will go back to Columbus at the end of April to shoot more scenes. The filming is set to resume in Columbus, Wisconsin on April 29, Mayor Nancy Osterhaus said Tuesday. The news came from movie location scout Adam Boor. They have been filming in the Lakeview/Chicago area and will be filming in Oshkosh, Wis and Aurora, IL, in the next two weeks.

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.
