I worked on Public Enemies, There was SO much great footage that didnt make the movie. Maybe if Michael Mann would of had a plot the movie would have been a lot better.
Just got done working on an independent movie about the first terrorist attack on Wall Street in 1920. Now that looks like it will be a GOOD movie.
Hollywood is beging to realize the high price star movies are not bringing them in. The indies are like Slum Dog Millionaire etc
I’m waiting to see Public Enemies on DVD. Just for fun I watched the 1973 film “Dillinger”, which was factually way off but fun.
I don’t have the faintest idea who thought Ben Johnson looked like Purvis. Richard Dreyfuss as Baby Face was funny too.
They did get the guns right, I only saw one gun goof (a 50’s style forend on a Winchester Model 12 that flashed on the screen for about a half second...)
