Raw Video: Johnny Depp Movie Mania

By Charles Benson

COLUMBUS - The buzz is growing surrounding "Public Enemies." Filming for Johnny Depp's new movie started Monday, and now an entire town is star struck. Emily Kreilkamp, 14, and her mom Renee were back in Columbus Wednesday checking out the movie set for a second night. However, nothing will beat Tuesday night's experience. Kreilkamp got an autograph and a hug from Depp. "He asked me my name and he gave me a hug and he called me sweetie," Kreilkamp explained.

That's because he's bad guy John Dillinger. The movie isn't just the buzz in Columbus...it's all over the Internet from YouTube to blogs. Renee Kreilkamp and her daughter are checking out all the Web postings. "We are, we are and last night when we got home we were really checking it out," Renee Kreilkamp said. Even on nights when they're not filming, downtown Columbus is busy with people who just want to see what a real Hollywood set looks like. Behind the make believe Alfred Ruby's Shoe Store is Cheryl Hegge's real hair cutting business. She's got pictures of Johnny Depp and she's hoping he will stop by. "Yeah, I shook his hand. He autographed a T-shirt and he said he would come down for a haircut. I'm still waiting for him," Hegge said. Click on the link under related content to see an interview with Cheryl Hegge.
