| “Public Enemies” Hysteria |
| 6/3/2009 |
It was only a year ago when the streets of downtown Oshkosh were transformed back to the 1930s gangster era and movie stars Johnny Depp, Christian Bale and others graced our presence during the filming of Universal Studio’s blockbuster, “Public Enemies”. With less than a month until the world premier of “Public Enemies”, on July 1st, Johnny Depp and movie hysteria are the buzz around town.
