Christian Bale (right) is in talks to join Johnny Depp (left) in the Michael Mann-directed, catch-me-if-you-can drama Public Enemies. It’s the pairing I never thought to ask for, but, judging by my squeal reaction to the news, have always wanted. Can you die happy now, or is there another first-time coupling you’ll want to see before you go?

oh myyyy goshhhhhhhh!!!!!
love love love!!!
two of my favorite actors ever in a movie!!
eeeeeek let me die happy
Russell Crowe and Ewan McGregor… mmmm yummy accents….
Finally! Depp is back to making “deep” dramas.
is it just me or shouldn’t tobey macguire and jake gyllenhall play brothers in something?
Denzel Washington and Terrance Howard!
I’ve always wanted to see Christian Bale and Cate Blanchett square off–I consider them equivalent deities when it comes to acting. But, God! Johnny Depp and Christian Bale!! I have been grinning like an idiot all day without remembering why, and you just reminded me–all my movie dreams have come true.
Am I the only one who totally doesn’t get the appeal of Christian Bale?
Are you trying to be funny about Tobey and Jake??? They are in production for a movie where they play brothers, and the movie is called Brothers. You’re just making a clever joke aren’t you.
I would love to see Johnny Depp and Daniel Day-Lewis play brothers with Julianne Moore and Cate Blanchett as love interests. if this movie was directed by Paul Thomas Anderson that would be even better!!!
I salivate at the thought of Christian Bale, so this is a dream come true for me.
I have been in love with Christian Bale since the moment I heard him tell Winona Ryder’s character of Jo in Little Women that he had loved her from the moment his eyes ‘clept’ on her. Sigh.
My two favorite actors in a movie together? (The two are always contending to be my favorite and so far they are tied
) Of course I’m psyched!
I want strong females in movies together. How ridiculous is it that Meryl Streep has never been in a movie with Susan Sarandon, Sigourney Weaver, Holly Hunter, Cate Blanchett, etc? So, one of those.
And as for the Bale/Depp pairing: yeah, it’s fabulous. But let’s get them some leading ladies. How about Cate Blanchett and Kate Winslet?
I really wanna see Robert DeNiro and Leonardo DiCaprio together in a Martin Scorsese movie. The director and his two muses. Awesome!
Just add me to the mix!
