Rubber cobblestone covers parts of 2 downtown Columbus streets. Buildings now sport old-fashioned awnings and facades.
It’s all to take this city 70 miles northwest of Milwaukee back to the 1930s for filming “Public Enemies,” a movie starring Johnny Depp as bank robber John Dillinger, along with Christian Bale and recent Oscar-winner Marion Cotillard.
Crews are expected in Columbus starting tomorrow to shoot the first scenes of the movie — of Crown Point, Indiana and Green Castle, Indiana.
Kate Lueders, liaison to Columbus Mayor Nancy Osterhaus, says the props have transformed the downtown. She calls “magical.”
The movie is the first to be filmed in Wisconsin since tax incentives for filmmakers took effect in January.
