MANITOWISH WATERS, Wis. -- Universal Studios plans to film scenes this week for "Public Enemies" in northern Wisconsin.They are filming at the Little Bohemia Lodge in Manitowish Waters. It's the site of a famous 1930s shooting in the federal government's chase for bank robber John Dillinger and his gang of thieves.It's all part of the movie that stars Johnny Depp as Dillinger, whose crime spree ended when he was shot to death in Chicago by FBI agents in 1935.In what amounts to a rarity in Hollywood, "Public Enemies" director Michael Mann chose to shoot scenes for his movie at the original site. Movie publicist Dave Fulton said Mann is a stickler for historical accuracy.Producers also filmed in Columbus and Crown Point, Ind., and just wrapped up in Oshkosh.The set is closed to the public.
