Australian actor David Wenham and British thespian Stephen Graham will play American thugs in Public Enemies, Michael Mann’s gangster film starring Johnny Depp and Christian Bale.

An adaptation of Brian Burrough’s book Public Enemies: America’s Greatest Crime Wave and the Birth of the FBI, 1933-43, the Universal film centres on the government’s attempt to stop John Dillinger and his gang.

Depp is playing Dillinger to Bale’s famed FBI agent Melvin Purvis.

Wenham – a veteran of the Lord of the Rings movies – is playing Pete Pierpont, a member of Dillinger’s crew.

Graham – who appears in Madonna’s directing debut Filth and Wisdom – will portray the similarly ruthless Baby Face Nelson.
