The cast of Michael Mann's Public Enemies just keeps getting dishier - and today it overtook The Prestige in the Prettiest Cast Ever stakes. As well as
Johnny Depp and Christian Bale in the two lead roles, it's just been announced that five more have joined the cast, led by recent Oscar-nominee and long-time French bird
Marion Cotillard, as well as Step Up's (and now GI Joe's) Channing Tatum.
Giovanni Ribisi, Stephen Dorff and Brotherhood's Jason Clarke are also onboard.
In the film,
Depp plays legendary outlaw John Dillinger, with Cotillard set to play his main squeeze Billie Frechette. Tatum
has been typecast as outlaw Pretty Boy Floyd (fun fact: check out the photos of the real Floyd online - not that pretty).
Ribisi has been (arguably also typecast) as Alvin Karpis (nicknamed Creepy, because of his unnerving smile - not a member of Dillinger's gang).
Dorff is close to a deal to play Homer Van Meter, another member of the gang (fun fact: he underwent plastic surgery to escape the police, but tried to kill the surgeon when he disliked the results). Finally,
Clarke will play gangmember John "Red" Hamilton, leaving Bale all on his own to pursue these hardened thieves. Let's hope he gets some support soon, and that it's good-looking enough to push this film over the top, past The Thin Red Line and into the number one spot on the Handsomest Cast Ever list.
