Billy Crudup joins cast of Mann's Public Enemies

| | Comments (0)

Universal already confirmed Johnny Depp and Christian Bale as stars in director Michael Mann's upcoming flick, Public Enemies, adapted from journalist Bryan Burrough's nonfiction tome Public Enemies: America's Greatest Crime Wave and the Birth of the FBI, 1933-34.

Now Billy Crudup has been added to the cast as FBI director J. Edgar Hoover, Variety reports. Depp is to play John Dillinger, while Bale steps into the big shoes of legendary FBI agent Melvin Purvis.

Aside from the swoon-inducing trio of manliness listed above, Marion Cotillard will portray Dillinger’s lover, Billie Frechette—Cotillard's first role since the Academy Award-winning La Vie en Rose.

With so much talent going into one film, it might be hard to look directly at the screen. We recommend building one of those boxes with a pinhole. Plus, it will give us something to do until the film is finished in 2009.
