Johnny Depp Coming to Milwaukee

[bobbledude25]

Johnny Depp and Christian Bale among others will be here in March for a new movie called"Public Enemies" dealing with John Dillinger. I hear most of the filming is going to take place in Columbus, WI but some also in Milwaukee. All the info is on the front page of todays Journal Sentinel. It would be pretty sweet to see Johnny Depp in-person from what I hear he's one of the most fan friendly celebs

I'd be more interested in Christian Bale. He more than likely has some good stories dealing with The Machinest.

I'd be interested in the hordes of women who will likely be flocking to see Depp and Bale.

I think they are coming to Oshkosh as well to film in and around the Opera House here. I love movies, and watching them film would be interesting for an hour or so, but I couldnt care less about the actors.

Wanted: Extras for Johnny Depp movie

The Johnny Depp film "Public Enemies" is looking for a few good extras.

 

Auditions for non-speaking roles in the film will be held from 4 to 7 p.m. Friday at the Italian Conference Center, 631 E. Chicago St.

 

"Public Enemies" -- which is set in the 1930s, and in which Depp will play John Dillinger -- will begin shooting in Wisconsin in mid-March. Auditions were held in Madison last month.

 

The requirements for the audition are rather specific.

 

First, the casting directors are looking for "people with great faces."

 

Men should no taller than 6'1" and women no taller than 5'8'' and no larger than size 12. Men should wear a dark suit, overcoat and dress shoes. Hair should be kept long. Women should wear a dark dress or skirt and sweater, overcoat and medium heel. Women are advised to set hair in curlers the night before and come to the audition with their hair brushed out. Also, if you're going, you need to bring a recent color photograph of yourself.

 

For more details, go to the Web site of the casting agency, Joan Philo Casting, and click on the "Public Enemies" icon on the left.

wow. I and my wife fit that description pretty well--nearly perfectly. Too bad we're in AZ. Oh, well.

[RyDogg66]

Eh, I've got better things to do than to stand around in the cold all day waiting for them to film 20 seconds of movie all for what amounts to minimum wage.

It's OK. We don't love you any less just because you don't have a "great face."http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif

That's right RyDogg. They want to use that really old-school bank on Main St. (can't remember what kind of bank it is) to film the bank robbery scene. A buddy of mine owns the New Moon Cafe right across the street from the bank and he was telling me a bunch of stuff about it because they possibly have to use the New Moon's roof for "snipers". Sounds like it's gonna be pretty cool.

yeah I was getting my haircut at the barber shop on Opera House Square last Friday and the barber told me that they might be building a facade around the park there to make it look more like an urban area. I believe they are also filming at the Opera House. Filming is set to take place April 14-16 in Oshkosh.

 

[jazzytrav]

I heard about the facade, too. Apparently they don't want the sun dial in the movie http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

 

It's too bad because that's a nice park area, but if it doesn't fit the scene then obviously they have to change it.

 

I was also told that the times they've set aren't set in stone. They say April 14-16, but if the snow melts tomorrow (fat chance), they'll be here tomorrow getting ready.

Where are they looking for movie extras in Milwaukee and when? I heard it on the radio today but I forgot. Some Italian place downtown?
