News story from my local paper here in the NW Indiana area. Dammit, they would be shooting while I'm at work downtown Chicago...stuck.

There is talk of both Billy Crudup and Rory Cochrane joining the cast, what roles I don't know.

Billy Crudup? Excellent. Can't wait for the teaser trailer, which should wet our appetite!

No one seems to know what role he has. They still haven't cast Hoover yet, but I doubt that is him.

Most likely Melvin Purvis' right hand man.

 

[Hunter Rider]

Cudrup would be a great addition.

How old would Hoover be in this ?

 

[Gotham]

Cudrup would be a great addition.



How old would Hoover be in this ?

He'd be nearing the middle of his career, I'd think. Maybe thirties, middle.

35-40 I think...not sure the actual year in the 30's this is taking place.

Hoover is thirty-three in the film. Maybe Crudup really is playing him?

 

[Dark Donnie]

Filming at the Jail...alot of interior stuff I believe:

Also Bale is suppose to be on set...

Interesting choice, I wonder how they'll portray Nitti in this as the 2 previous screen versions have been vastly different to each other.

Confirmation on Crudup as Hoover:

Billy Crudup has been set to play FBI director J. Edgar Hoover in "Public Enemies," the Michael Mann-directed crime drama for Universal that stars Johnny Depp as John Dillinger.
Mann has also set Stephen Lang to play Winstead, the leader of the Texas Rangers who joins the manhunt for John Dillinger and his gang. Christian Bale and Marion Cotillard also star.

Crudup most recently starred in the romantic comedy "Dedication." Lang, a regular on Mann's "Crime Story" series, also worked with the director on "Manhunter" and "Band of the Hand."

Crudup, Bale, Depp..? LOL, sounds like Mann is really going for the glamorized version of the era. Smart move though....those actors will bring in the ladies while the action and crime aspects will bring in the guys. So if your g/f doesn't mind going with you -- or better yet even suggests to YOU that you go with her -- well then....

He was destined to be in Public Enemies.

 

[Laderlappen]

It's just a matter of time now 'til we see the first pictures of Bale and Marion.

 

[Dark Donnie]

Like someone stated on IMDB, it has a real Collateral/Miami Vice look which I like.
