Before he hunts Terminators, Christian Bale's gonna hunt him some Depp!

Ahoy, squirts! Quint here. I posted a story a few weeks back about Johnny Depp being cast as John Dillinger in an upcoming period crime drama called PUBLIC ENEMIES, being directed by none other than Michael Mann.

Now he's got an adversary. Christian Bale is in talks to play Melvin Purvis who led the FBI's manhunt for these so called public enemies. He'll not only be hunting Depp's Dillinger, but he's also after Pretty Boy Floyd and Baby Face Nelson.

They say that Bale's participation in this project will not conflict with his commitment to play John Conner in McG's future war-set TERMINATOR flick. Once again, Bale's leading one of the most interesting careers of any actor out there... RESCUE DAWN to DARK KNIGHT to a Michael Mann crime drama to a TERMINATOR movie. The guy knows how to keep things lively, that's for sure.
