Christian Bale stars in Public Enemies as a 1930's FBI agent out to catch Johnny Depp's rolicking John Dillinger. Describing his lead actors, director Michael Mann says, ''Johnny has courage and immense power. It's all about the spontaneity of the moment for him. Christian works in a totally different way. He becomes the character so totally that he's that person 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The accent, everything.''
Public Enemies hits theaters in July 2009.
