Public Enemies now in our sight


It seems so much more real. Finally we have the trailer for the movie Public Enemies. Granted, we still have to wait almost 4 months for the actual film to come out but at least now we can get a glimpse as to the look and feel of the movie.


I attended 4 days of filming when the crew was in Oshkosh and in Beaver Dam, Wisconsin and to see the efforts put together, even in the limited scale of a trailer, is great.

The link will take you to my meet and greet with Johnny Depp during the filming of the movie. I still don't understand how he could work all day/night long and in some cases, still take an hour or two, to say hello to his fans. He is truly the real deal and a wonderful person.

Some people are complaining about the digital aspect of the movie. I don't understand the complaint. I like the digital. To me the picture is clearer and more real. It is like we are actual witnesses to history rather than looking back in time. It makes it more thrilling. The whole point of it is not to be nostalgic. It's to be realistic. It relies more on natural lighting and comes off as truer. There's nothing that says period pieces have to be on film. I think we associate the film look with the 1930s because movies back then were shot on film. But I like the feel that we are witnessing history and have been brought back to those moments in time. But that's just me.

Anyway, I cannot wait for July.
