MADISON, Wis. -- As Hollywood zeros in on Wisconsin as a location for the upcoming Johnny Depp movie, film crews are looking for some antique props.The search is on for 100 classic cars to star as background cars in the 1930s-inspired story "Public Enemy," WISC-TV reported.Media reports said that that director Michael Mann may choose up to 60 classic cars and will either rent or buy them. Owners of such cars are sending in pictures of their vehicles to be considered."We bought this back in 1964, and it just sat in the garage for probably 20 years," said vintage car owner Bill Paxson. "My wife said, 'We're either going to have to do something with that car or we're going to have to sell it.'"The Paxsons restored the car and are now contenders for a spot in the movie.The film will be shot in locations throughout Wisconsin and Illinois. Production starts in March and will run through June.Anyone interested in submitting photos of their vintage cars can e-mail them to pechicago@gmail.com.
