Reading through the history on the Biograph showdown, seems Fbi agent Sam Cowley has just a big a role as Purvis and seemed to be in touch with Hoover the most and he dies in the Baby Face Nelson shootout. Be interested in who is playing him. If any new actor surfaces on location, he may be the one. W. Earl Brown just added.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5117455539289623436.post-20515599299522587892008-03-25T08:44:00.000-05:002008-03-25T08:44:00.000-05:00Hi, glad I came across your blog!

I guess if you don't know the cast you wouldn't pick her and just go for the Depp shot. Pity. Those shots of the jail are great and creepy at the same time. Rod are you getting any sleep? Great job of pulling everything together. I saw a shot of Depp on one of his sites from the Crown Point arraignment scene and it looks as if JD is really getting 'JD' down with that charming smirk.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5117455539289623436.post-59831629308510380662008-03-24T21:04:00.000-05:002008-03-24T21:04:00.000-05:00I was in Crown Point from 5:30 a.m. to 2:30ish. I ...I was in Crown Point from 5:30 a.m. to 2:30ish. I was in the front behind the guard rail/orange barrier thing with a good view of both buildings. <BR/>We were told they were filming inside today and that we would know when Johnny was here because we'd see his entourage with him (for those who don't know, he did NOT roll in with an entourage..it was just him, the driver and the vehicle). He first came around 11ish and waved from the car and then got out in front of the jail area and waved and then went inside for about two hours and then came back out in a long black trench coat and waved again before heading back in the vehicle. <BR/>When I left they were putting down the cobblestone. We got to see a lot of the extras (prisoners, police and reporters) but never got to see them in action. The police had really cool outfits.<BR/>I did get pictures (only one of Johnny) and hope to get them up soon but my camera is pretty much drained because when I got to work I would show my Johnny picture even though I had to zoom in on it but he's there :)<BR/>They were putting a tarp up around a door in the alleyway so my guess is that's where he's going to escape from.<BR/>For the most part, the crowd seemed ok. Early in the morning there were a few guys with video cameras and they were told they couldn't use them and they started spouting off about their right to be on public property. And then there were people who could constantly yell "Johnny Depp!! AHHH!!" for no good reason at all and I was so afraid they would hear that and not let him come out. All in all, I had a good day and I can't imagine I'll forget it for a long time.<BR/>-Kristen <BR/><BR/>P.S. I believe the Aurora, Ill., filming is coming up soon. I know papers around here (in the Chicagoland area) have said April 6th and 7th. I'm planning on going on the 6th with a friend.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5117455539289623436.post-91567534777381397912008-03-24T20:59:00.000-05:002008-03-24T20:59:00.000-05:00I could see all of your pics earlier and now I can...I could see all of your pics earlier and now I can only see the ones of the auditorium.Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06364641259148678496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5117455539289623436.post-8084816512906189242008-03-24T19:18:00.000-05:002008-03-24T19:18:00.000-05:00RodThanks again so much-I have become addicted to ...Rod<BR/>Thanks again so much-I have become addicted to your blog and news of PE!

When will they be back to Columbus? <BR/><BR/>I have enjoyed reading this blog more than anything I've done in a while. Now you know how bored I've been! Just kidding. <BR/><BR/>Watching the filming and reading the blog has also made me notice more when I am watching movies. I will never be the same. I have as much interest in the technical side as I do JD and that's a whole lot of interest. Too bad I am too old(54)to start a "movie" career. I never even watched movies or TV that much until I discovered Johnny Depp in POTC II. Now I have seen all of his movies and my husband has me watching old black and white movies from the 1940's. They are pretty cool.<BR/><BR/>I am hanging out here just waiting for PE news. PLEASE-Rod-don't stop now.
