Public Enemies is director Michael Mann’s latest project, and it marks the eagerly anticipated return of Stephen Dorff, whose performance in Feardotcom inspired a generation. Johnny Depp and Christian Bale are in it too. Empire has the first official stills.

Described as a sort of Heat II, the film tells the story of charismatic criminal gang leader John Dillinger (Depp) and determined lawman Melvin Purvis (Bale), the FBI agent tracking him down. Also in the cast is Marion Cotillard as Dillinger’s girlfriend, Channing Tatum, Giovanni Ribisi, David Wenham, Leelee Sobieski and Emilie de Ravin, with Billy Crudup as the legendary J. Edgar Hoover.

I think I speak for all the heterosexual males readers when I say, this won’t be the first time I’ve pictured Billy Crudup in lipstick and a dress.  I mean… because I wanted to seem him demonstrate his range as an actor.  What?  Hey, so how ’bout that one football game the other day.

Ahh, poor J. Edgar Hoover.  Practically founded the FBI, and the first thing people still think when they hear his name is “that dude who wears women’s panties.”
