News: Leelee Sobieski Joins Depp on “Public Enemies”

It didn’t work out so well for Leelee Sobieski when she played the nefarious student to Al Pacino’s phoned-in teacher in the abysmal 88 Minutes, so maybe she’ll fare better if she teams up with one of the other people who created Heat, Michael Mann. It can’t hurt that Mann is currently directing Johnny Depp on Public Enemies, and Sobieski will get to play Depp’s paramour - more specifically, the last girlfriend that notorious gangster John Dillinger ever had. Depp has the midas touch these days. Anything he does will be flocked to now. Leelee could use a bit of that rub.
