Johnny Depp at the Los Angeles premiere of Public Enemies

While shooting his latest film, Public Enemies, Johnny Depp spent a lot of time in Chicago. The movie, which premiered in Los Angeles on June 23, is about the notorious criminal John Dillinger, a depression-era bank robber who was killed in Chicago after escaping prison.

While Depp, who stars as Dillinger, was filming in Chicago, he told Vanity Fair that he would drink at the Kerryman, an Irish pub and restaurant, and eat at Gene & Georgetti, a famous Chicago steakhouse. He also spent time at the Art Institute of Chicago and the Chicago Music Exchange, which carries a vast collection of vintage and new guitars.

The Chicago Tribune reports that the filming of Public Enemies in Chicago brought in $46.7 million to Illinois' economy. Public Enemies filmed at many Chicago-area locations including Bridgeview Bank, Union Station and the Joliet Correctional Center. A special screening of the movie was held in Chicago on June 18.
 
Public Enemies, based on the book by Bryan Burrough, also stars Christian Bale and Marion Cotillard, and opens on July 1.
