feb 29, 2008 - DILLINGER FARM Johnny Depp Michael Mann Indiana

Description:

They visited the Dillinger farm on February 29th to soak up the atmosphere and speak
with Mr. Scalf, the nephew of the late bank robber, who generously allowed them to go into John Dillinger's former bedroom, look at family artefacts, read letters, and look at pictures never made available to the public - Johnny Depp even held a reproduction of Dillinger's famous wooden gun.

"They've really done their homework," Jeff Scalf told reporter Amy Hillenburg. "They were both very down-to-earth, polite and respectful of the subject matter." During the four-hour visit, Johnny Depp told Mr. Scalf that "he would try to be sensitive to [Dillinger's] true persona. And that he would portray Dillinger as he really was.
