I’m not sure about April 4, 2008, but here is confirmed information I have uncovered about upcoming Aurora, Ill. shooting for “Public Enemies” (source):

Paramount To Be Location For Hollywood Movie

The Paramount Theater has signed a contract to film the Johnny Depp movie, “Public Enemies” in Aurora this spring. Filming will take place April 6 and 7 at the theater in downtown Aurora. “Public Enemies” is the story of the life and death of John Dillinger, the gangster who was killed by federal agents in Chicago.

The Internet Movie Database lists Depp, Christian Bale and recent Academy Award winner Marion Cotillard as the stars of the movie. The movie stars Depp as Dillinger, the gangster who was shot outside the north side Biograph Theater on July 22, 1934. According to Variety, Christian Bale may sign on to play Melvin Purvis, the FBI agent who tracked Dillinger to the theater.

This would be second movie filmed in Aurora in less than a year. In October 2007, “The Express” – the story of the first black Heisman Trophy winner – filmed a scene in downtown Aurora.

The Paramount has NO input on casting, please contact the extras casting director - Joan Philo Casting, (312) 924-1840, www.joanphilocasting.com.
