Want to be in a Johnny Depp movie? Hells to the yes you do. The new Dillinger biopic he’s in is looking for extras in Aurora on April 5 and 6.In order to recreate the look and feel of the film, male extras need to be less than 6-foot-2 with a jacket size no larger than 44 and female extras must be shorter than 5-foot-8 with a dress size no larger than 10.Fit the bill? Call Joan Philo Casting at (312) 924-1840.The movie, Public Enemies, will be filming at the Paramount Theater, which is standing in for the Biograph. Sigh. The film has already shot a bunch of scenes in Wisconsin and Indiana and is shooting in Chicago on and off through May, according to the Chicago Film Office. [Source]

Oh my God!’’ said 16-year-old Caressa Rospierski, a Portage High School student on spring break. Her classmate Stacia Upton held up a poster saying, ‘‘We love you, Johnny.’’ ‘‘It’s the most fascinating thing in Crown Point since Dillinger broke out of jail and (Rudolph) Valentino got married at the courthouse,’’ said 15-year-old Nicole Vega of Crown Point. ‘‘I just hope I get to see Johnny Depp. Even if I don’t, this is still the most exciting thing to happen on my spring break.’’
