Entertainment Weekly’s 2009 Summer Movie Preview (cover date April 24-May 1) gives plenty of space to Michael Mann’s Public Enemies: July opens with a full-page photo of Johnny Depp as John Dillinger, followed by an entertaining article by Chris Nashawaty. “For a summer movie that features neither superheroes nor cyborgs, it certainly helps to have a cast headlined by Depp and [Christian] Bale,” writes EW. “In a way, you could say that Depp and Bale are the movie’s special effects. This might also be the only movie opening during the air-conditioning months that could still be talked about at Oscar time.”
