RACINE — John Dillinger’s 1933 bank robbery in Racine will be depicted in the new Johnny Depp movie “Public Enemies, but the scene will be shot in Milwaukee.

The specific location and date have not been formally released.

“There are always changes at the last minute for a variety of reasons,” said Dave Fulton, publicist for the Universal Studios film.

A spokeswoman from the Milwaukee County Historical Center, 910 N Old World Third St., did confirm that a bank scene will be shot there. But she was not certain it was the Racine scene. The center is a former 2nd Ward Savings Bank and was built in 1913. Inside is a large vault which the set is being created around, said spokeswoman Kathleen O’Hara.

Very interesting Karen------is this the bank we had an article/video of with the HUGE vault door? There's so many locations now, I can't keep up!

I notice they're really cracking down on disclosing too much about film dates now.........

Not sure about the bank vault..too confusing for me too. lol

And you're right, they are getting more and more vague about the dates...

I think it's the one in this video at this link:

EDIT:THe clip said the set would be ready in 3 weeks--clip date 2/28, and here we are a little over 3 weeks---I think this is it!

Yes, I believe it is the one! They (PE news) are so cool about matching the real places where events occurred to the filming locations. I am hoping to squeeze in a visit while they are in Milwaukee.

BTW, JDR is THE best source for PE news I have found. You guys are the greatest at sharing all the info, resources, support and stories.

Thank you from the bottom of my little heart!! :thanks :thanks
