Public Enemies Filming in Oshkosh Gallery
Public Enemies wrapped shooting in Oshkosh on Friday, and they are now set to start filming in Northwoods, at Little Bohemia in Manitowish Waters. For the past week, Director Michael Mann’s production company turned a large part of downtown Oshkosh into a 1930s movie set for the site of two different bank robberies. Film crews wrapped up a frantic last day of shooting in downtown Oshkosh at 6 p.m. Friday.
During the afternoon, film crews made rapid shifts from inside the bank building at 404 N. Main St. to the bank’s exterior and over to Washington Avenue. The brisk pace kept crowds struggling to keep up as vintage cars moved from set to set and the sound of guns rang out in different locations.
At 4:20 p.m. Friday, the sound of machine gun fire brought groups of people scrambling from vantage points behind the Exclusive Co., where the Main Street scenes were visible, over to Washington Avenue where additional scenes were shot in front of the Masonic Temple.
The teardown on North Main Street began first thing Saturday morning. Crews spent most of the day tearing down awnings, storefronts, signs and everything else that rewound Oshkosh to the 1930s.

Last but not least, if you are a member of Livejournal, feel free to check out and join Dorff Fans. I have created this community for fans to post news, photos, pictures, and anything related to Stephen. A place for fans to unite and show their appreciation for such an amazing actor.
I have added 741 screencaps of the 1994 film Backbeat. It tells the story of The Beatles when they were first starting out. Stephen plays the ‘fifth Beatle’, Stuart Sutcliffe, who had only a passing interest in music and a passion for painting. It’s a story of love, music, friendship, innocence lost and legends born.
I have also added to the gallery various Photoshoots, Blood and Wine promotionals, and thanks again to Michelle for 2 new photos of Stephen on the set of Public Enemies in Columbus and Oshkosh.
And lastly, there’s a great read about Stephen filming Public Enemies here.

Thanks to Johnny Depp Reads Message Board, we have a release date for Public Enemies. Rumors were going around that it would be released Christmas 2008, but it is now going to be released July 1, 2009, just in time for the Summer Blockbuster holidays!
WiscNews has reported that the movie will go back to Columbus at the end of April to shoot more scenes. The filming is set to resume in Columbus, Wisconsin on April 29, Mayor Nancy Osterhaus said Tuesday. The news came from movie location scout Adam Boor. They have been filming in the Lakeview/Chicago area and will be filming in Oshkosh, Wis and Aurora, IL, in the next two weeks.
And thanks to Public Enemies Columbus Blog I have added 2 new photos of Stephen on the set. Don’t forget to check back regularly for updates.
I have added 1300+ screencaps for Stephen’s 1994 movie S.F.W. Stephen plays Cliff Spab, who gains sudden and unwanted celebrity status after he’s taken hostage by terrorists. The film also stars Reese Witherspoon, Jack Noseworthy and Jake Busey.
I’m excited to announce that Public Enemies has officially started shooting in Columbus, Wisconsin and they now have the movie details up at IMDB. There’s also a great blog with details on the movie HERE.
I’m also pleased to say that I’ve added some photos from on the set, courtesy of Michelle, who has kindly let me use them here at Stephen Dorff Network. She has many more photos from on the set and around town HERE. I have added 3 images of Stephen to the gallery HERE. I will hopefully be adding more in the next few days.
Stephen plays bank robber Homer Van Meter, who was a criminal associate of John Dillinger, played by Johnny Depp, and the film is set in the 1930’s.

After weeks of speculation, visits by Hollywood scouts and casting calls, Governor Jim Doyle officially announced a deal with Universal Pictures to bring the film Public Enemies to the Badger State this spring. The production will be shot in multiple locations around Wisconsin.
Based on the book of the same name by Bryan Burrough, the movie will follow the exploits of John Dillinger, the original “Public Enemy Number One,” as he and his gang are pursued by the FBI across the Upper Midwest from 1933-’34. It is being produced and directed by Academy Award nominee Michael Mann.
Public Enemies boasts an impressive cast, one that is growing in profile week by week. Leading the way as Dillinger is Johnny Depp. Christian Bale will be playing FBI agent Melvin Purvis, and Marion Cotillard, is playing Evelyn “Billie” Frechette, a young Wisconsin-born woman who was Dillinger’s main squeeze during his final year in action.
Rounding out the cast is Channing Tatum as Pretty Boy Floyd, Giovanni Ribisi as Alvin Karpis, and Stephen Dorff as Homer Van Meter.
Dorff is currently in Chicago for pre-production and has been all over the place, including catching shows at the House of Blues and rockin’ out with DJ Whiteshadow at Manor. The film will shoot in Chicago and around Wisconsin from March through June.

Casting is continuing apace on the eagerly anticipated gangster film Public Enemies, which recounts the story of the Dillinger gang — the notorious bank robbers who brought their deadly brand of illegal skulduggery to depression-era America.
Johnny Depp was already set to play Dillinger himself, while Christian Bale has been cast as Melvin Bale – the FBI agent who tried to bring him down.
Now, according to Variety, director Micheal Mann (Heat, Miami Vice) has signed up five new faces for the project.
Dillinger’s gang has now been cast, with Channing Tatum (also the latest addition to G.I. Joe), Blade’s Stephen Dorff, Giovanni “Phoebe’s brother in Friends” Ribisi and Jason Clarke all set to play the criminal ensemble.
Marion Cotillard, meanwhile, who many consider an Oscar shoo-in for her performance as French warbler Edith Piaf in La Vie en Rose, will play Billie Frechette, Dillinger’s lover.
The film, based on the best selling non-fiction book of the same name, will begin shooting in Chicago on March 10.
As you all may have heard, actor Brad Renfro died during the week. Stephen’s one-time co-star in Deuces Wild was found dead in his LA residence. Renfro was found unresponsive on Tuesday and was pronounced dead at 9 a.m. No signs of foul play or visible injury were detected. The cause of death is yet to be determined. Autopsy reports will not be released for six weeks.
Johnny Knoxville who also starred in Deuces spoke to The Insider about Brad’s tragic death.
“I really liked Brad,” Knoxville said. “[He was] extremely charming and [had] a good heart. Yeah, he got into a little trouble, but he was a sweet, sweet kid.
“I don’t like to be talking about him in the past tense,” he added. “He was a hometown boy who did real good, and it breaks my heart he is gone. He was so young and so sweet.
“It makes me very sad.”

We just received this information from a person who wants to remain anonymous, but it’s still an interesting information.
I am actually working with Stephen on “XIII” in Toronto and Hamilton, where he is shooting, on location, until the end of January.
FYI he has cut off all his hair. He did it for a prison movie shoot-and is keeping it off for the character of XIII.
Thank you for letting us know!
