Billy Crudup nabbed a great role – FBI director J. Edgar Hoover in “Public Enemies.” Michael Mann is directing this drama, which also stars Johnny Depp as John Dillinger.

Mann has also set Stephen Lang to play Winstead, the leader of the Texas Rangers who joins the manhunt for John Dillinger and his gang. Christian Bale and Marion Cotillard also star.

Crudup most recently starred in the romantic comedy “Dedication” — which I liked and still need to giveaway here at Screenhead.
