Speaking of Pacino....does it seem that all of his characters in, oh...the past 10 years, come off the same or similar?  It does to me.

He is very versitile..  so long as he is playing a kind of metrosexual type.

He is about as far removed from dillinger as anyone could be.

It may end up being a good movie but it won't be a good dillinger portrayal.

Yeah, he done a good job in Fear And Loathing, but for Depp it about fits. :)
I`ll also have to say that I was talked into the pirate series of movies under protest as I wasn`t much of a Depp fan.
The swishing seemed to fit also though.
I can`t picture him as Dillinger.

Where did you get this assessment?  I met and got to know Johnny through a friend of mine, Chuck E Weiss, back in the early '90's when I was in LA doing some soundovers for disney.  He is not only a very nice and honest person but one of the most respected character actors in the business.   I would say he is as far away from a metrosexual type as anyone I met out there, but then again if you don't know him,  how would you know what kind of person he is.  Metrosexual? LMAO, that is so funny.  Knowing Johnny, he will emerse himself in every recorded aspect of Dillinger's life until he finds the way to play him as true to John Dillinger himself as possible.  

By the way lazs, who would you pick to play Dillinger?

Any pupil of the great Hunter S. is far from a fairy. Depp is a great choice. Although, ascetically,  Bill Bob is spot on, not such a bad actor either.

skyrock.. I have not met the guy and you meeting him a few times does not mean that you know him either.

I am only going by the characters that he plays so far.. it is also his body type.. he has delicate features not course like dillinger.   He moved to france because the US was too mean for him..  Dillinger was not at all like that.

I would say that billy bob would make a better choice as would bruce willis.

When Dillinger was finally tracked down and killed, these are the guns the authorities found inside his hotel room:





Besides the Thompson submachine gun, you will also see two sawed off Browning Automatic Shotguns, and two Winchester Semi-automatic rifles.  

Dillinger taunted J. Edgar Hoover repeatedly, mailing him cards, and making collect calls to FBI headquarters to chide him.

By the time of Dillinger's death, Hoover was so extremely obsessed with catching Dillinger, that one third of the FBI's total budget was being devoted to his capture.   It was a man hunt without equal in our nation's history.

I can just imagine the phone call, late at nite:

'Is this the FBI?'

'Please state the nature of your business'

'Hey, tell Bob he couldn't find his butt with both hands using a map'

-dead silence.. followed by a loud 'click' and a dial tone.

What? Depp, metro?

He's an art-studmuffin if anything and I don't mean that in a disparaging way. He's not metro.


He is a good actor and it should be interesting.

Looking at the guy and his guns...  I would make a better choice than the effeminate depp.

Lots of actors could do it.   Dillinger was an interesting guy but his charm and looks are a serious missmatch for depps looks and charm.

I guess depp will be great for anyone who never knew anything at all about dillinger or the guys he hung out with.  

oh.. the thing that looks like a long Luger?  that is a colt woodsman.   A 22.
