Depp to play bank robber in new film
Johnny Depp will play a ruthless gangster in his new film. The
Hollywood actor will portray renowned bank robber John Dillinger, who
is on the run from the FBI, in Public Enemies.
Depp reportedly signed up for the project just hours before the
Hollywood premiere of Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street.
A source said, "Everyone is delighted to have Johnny on board." Public
Enemies is set during the great crime wave of the early 30s, when FBI
boss J. Edgar Hoover was chasing a host of infamous criminals,
including Dillinger, Baby Face Nelson and Pretty Boy Floyd.
