Chicago’s Clark Street played host to the PUBLIC ENEMIES cast and crew yesterday (Monday, June 9), and well-wishers called out “Happy Birthday” to Johnny Depp between takes as he filmed a car chase scene. To see a larger version of our photo of JD in costume as John Dillinger, leaning against a vintage car, click here. Celeb TV.com reports, “On set in downtown Chicago, the still-boyish actor–who plays bank robber John Dillinger in the gangster flick–sweetly smiled and waved to a few dozen teenage and twentysomething fans, who hooted out greetings like, ‘You’re so hot!’ and ‘We love you!'” During a brief rain delay, “instead of running for cover, Depp grabbed an umbrella and chatted with fans.” It was Johnny’s birthday, but the fans got the present . . . . The Zone thanks Bonnie for the photo and Emma for the CelebTV.com story. You can read more details on the News & Views forum, in the thread called “PUBLIC ENEMIES in Chicago.”

PUBLIC ENEMIES is now headed to Milwaukee, Wisconsin, where shooting is scheduled to begin on Tuesday, June 10th, at the Milwaukee County Historical Society. –Part-Time Poet
