While you were at the Wisconsin Film Festival, some minor Public Enemies news that may be relevant to Madison broke this weekend with multiple news sources reporting that Billy Crudup, star of Big Fish and Almost Famous, has been cast as FBI Director J.Edgar Hoover. Rumors are that portions of the Wisconsin Capitol building may be used as backdrop for Hoover's fledgling FBI office. The announcement means that Crudup could be coming to Madison later this month with Christian Bale to shoot those scenes. Bale plays John Dillinger pursuer Melvin Purvis in the Michael Mann directed flick which stars Johnny Depp as the legendary bank robber. Crudup recently completed work on the comic book-to-film adaptation of Watchmen in which he plays the character Dr. Manhattan. Both films are receiving heavy buzz which means 2009 could shape up to be a big year for Crudup. He received a Tony Award in 2007 for his turn in the production The Coast of Utopia.
