Casting update–Emilie de Ravin joins PUBLIC ENEMIES

Emilie de Ravin is best known for her long-running role as Claire Littleton in the television series LOST, but she has spent the week in Oshkosh, Wisconsin, being taken hostage by Johnny Depp . . . nice work if you can get it. Ms. de Ravin has joined the cast of Michael Mann’s gangster epic PUBLIC ENEMIES; she plays a woman taken hostage during one of John Dillinger’s bank robberies. The Dillinger gang would use hostages as human shields, placing them on the running boards of their getaway car so the police wouldn’t shoot as they drove away.
