Wisconsin Is the New Toronto

When director Michael Mann was looking for a place to shoot his next movie, about the John Dillinger crime spree, he could have gone to Canada or Mexico or even the Russian steppes to recreate the Wild West where the great robber made his fortune. Instead, he's going to... Wisconsin! The project, with the working title "Public Enemies," secured some sweet tax credits thanks to a new state law that went into effect January 1.

Looks like the film's stars Christian Bale and Johnny Depp will be packing their bags for a Midwestern spring. (Hint: Sometimes even May brings snow to Wisconsin!) By the way, Dillinger did hide out with his gang in the northern part of the state before meeting--spoiler!--his eventual demise in Chicago.
