Let us say: he has had less success.


Miami Vice is what caused that. It cost Universal $136 million, recieved mixed reviews, and had a worldwide box office take of only $163.8 million. He wanted to do a 1930's noir with Leonardo DiCaprio after Vice, but couldn't find a studio to finance it. I wouldn't be suprised if Depp's casting was the only reason Universal agreed to finance Public Enemies.

Public Enemies

Why does this film need *six* producers?


Lots of movies have six producers. For lots of different reasons. Who ever gets the title card to his or herself is the primary producer.

Looks they're going to try to stick to the facts.

Until they get in the way.

From Rotten Tomatoes:

"The cast of Michael Mann's Public Enemies was already cool (Johnny Depp, Christian Bale, David Wenham, Giovanni Ribisi), but now we know that Billy Crudup is going to be playing F.B.I. big shot J. Edgar Hoover, and that's just gravy."

Anyone know whether this is being filmed on the Viper? That's the camera used on Collateral and Miami Vice. I've always wanted to see a period piece filmed on it.

This is off topic in a sense since the new film is in production but wasn't Tupac supposed to be in the first one and then he went to jail for publicly admitting he stomped out the directors?
