Cap'n Jack is Michael Mann's PUBLIC ENEMY number one!!
Ahoy, squirts! Quint here. There are a couple of pieces of news that hit today that really get my geek juices flowing. One is about Apatow's next producer project (above) and this one about Johnny Depp "shaking hands" on a deal to star in PUBLIC ENEMY for Michael Mann. The flick is set against a Depression-era backdrop with all of that age's most notorious gangsters, including Baby Face Nelson and Pretty Boy Floyd. Johnny Depp would play John Dillinger, giving his take on a role that has previously been performed by such greats as Laurence Tierney and Warren Oates.
Mann wrote the script based on a Bryan Burroughs novel. Mann and Depp together doing a period gangster flick? Count me in.
