Jan 11 2008Bale Pursuing Depp in 'Public Enemies', Handsomeness
Johnny Depp and Christian Bale together in one movie, and it's not even a part of Us Magazine's Hot Hypothetical Hunk Films section? Do tell.
According to a person familiar with the situation, Bale will play Melvin Purvis, the legendary FBI agent who led the manhunt for John Dillinger. Depp is starring as Dillinger in [Public Enemies], which is set up at Universal and is slated to begin production in March.
And did I mention Michael Mann is directing? Michael Mann is directing. This is totally going to be the new Heat, but probably worse.

Good God...I think the screen might spontaneously combust with those two in the same movie!! Women around the world can only hope it's true...except for the whole Michael Mann thing. Oh well, guess I'll just have to lower my standards, but just this once!

I want more unsubstantiated rumours to attribute themselves to "a person familiar with the situation". It's so delightfully, inexplicably sinister.
