For those hoping to get a glimpse of actor Johnny Depp next week in Columbus, a few words of advice: Leave those video cameras at home and be prepared to wait.
Adam Boor is the location scout for "Public Enemies" production. He said that those who are interested in seeing the filming should be prepared for plenty of inaction between the director's calls for "Action!"
"People have to understand that there could be a minute or minute-and-a-half of filming, then there could be two to three hours of down time as they set up the next shot," Boor said.
Spectators will be allowed as close as possible to the downtown but access will be very limited, Boor said, to prevent any interference with the filming.
Security will be on-hand to manage the crowd as well as to keep spectators informed on the progress of the shooting.
"Our people will be there to instruct the crowd," Boor said, "so they know what is going on and what is expected of them."
Dave Fulton, publicist for "Public Enemies" echoed Boor's comments.
"There will be some kind of perimeter, and honestly I don't know how far away that will be," he said.
Fulton did note a few do's and dont's for spectators.
"Obviously quiet is a crucial element to filming," he said and flash photography and video are prohibited. He said that still photography is also not encouraged.
The film is "copyrighted material by Universal Pictures," he said.
Spectators also shouldn't be surprised to be instructed to turn off their cell phones.
The film crew will be in place by 4 a.m. Monday and the final touches to the scenes are being applied today and Sunday. Filming could continue through the week.
"We have a lot of work to do in a short amount of time," Fulton said. "We have a very limited amount of time to accomplish what we have to accomplish."
