Christian Bale is one of the few actors at the minute who can do no wrong. The critics adore him, the internet fanboys love him and audiences are willing to show up to watch his films (well his mainstream ones, at least).

Since hitting the big time with Batman Begins, Bale has been much in demand as an actor; Entertainment Weekly conducted a great interview with the actor where he discusses his upcoming films: Michael Mann’s Public Enemies, the new Terminator 4 film (whatever it may end up being called), and his third stint as Batman (which I hope will be called Shadow Of The Bat).

Christian Bale is in negotiations to join Johnny Depp in Michael Mann’s crime thriller Public Enemies. The film will tell the story of the FBI’s manhunt for John Dillinger, the charismatic criminal who was loved by many and loathed by the government. Dillinger was finally gunned down outside Chicago’s Biograph theater.

Johnny Depp will play the legendary gangster while Bale will play Melvin Purvis, the FBI agent tracking him down.
