The first official poster (remember the unofficial, fan-made one?) for Public Enemies has arrived over at MSN (along with a host of new images), and the first thing I thought of was how similar it was to one of The Dark Knight's Joker posters (see above), minus a crazed look from Enemies star, Johnny Depp. Perhaps Universal is looking to borrow some awesomeness from last summer's biggest movie in the hopes that Public Enemies becomes this summer's most talked-about piece of coolness.
Directed by Michael Mann (Heat), Public Enemies tells the real-life story of gangster John Dillinger (Depp), and how, due to his (and his pal's) multi-state crime spree during the 1930s, the US government had no choice but to create the FBI -- whose top agent, Melvin Purvis (Christian Bale), was the one assigned to finally track down Dillinger and bring him to justice. The film also stars Marion Cotillard, Channing Tatum, Giovanni Ribisi, Billy Crudup and more. This is a very cool story, and for those who do not know it, might I suggest locating the History Channel program in your channel guide that talks all about the formation of the FBI and the chase to nab Dillinger -- it's called 18 Months of Mayhem; find more info on it here.
Check out a larger image of the poster and a couple images below, then head over to MSN to see the rest. Public Enemies hits theaters on July 1.

Fan Made: 'Public Enemies' Poster

Before folks begin passing this off as the first teaser poster for Public Enemies, let us go on record as saying it's a Fan Made poster ... and a pretty darn good one at that. Cinematical reader JC sent this into us, and it comes from the deviantART page of one drMIERZWIAK. Why is it these Fan Made posters are usually much better than the crud that slithers its way out of the studio marketing machine? I dig this poster; it screams old school gangster flick ... and I bet you ten bucks it's better than the first official teaser poster for this film (which -- I'm guessing here -- will probably include a few floating heads and some bullet holes in the shape of the words 'Coming Soon').
One of the most anticipated summer films, Public Enemies follows the FBI (in its earliest form) as they attempt to bring down the country's most elusive criminal, John Dillinger. Johnny Depp stars as Dillinger, Christian Bale stars as FBI agent Melvin Purvis and Michael Mann directs. With its July 1 release date, one expects an actual teaser poster to arrive any day now. In the meantime, check out the fake one below.
