A big budget film starring Johnny Depp is looking at filming in Wisconsin.
Lieutenant Governor Barbara Lawton says the makers of "Public Enemies" are looking at Wisconsin because of the new tax breaks for filmmakers that start Tuesday.
Her office and Film Wisconsin had previously said a film with a budget between $100 million and $300 million was looking at Wisconsin, but refused to give details until a deal was done.
But the Baraboo News Republic broke the news in Thursday's editions, saying the makers are looking at filming at a local bank.
"Public Enemies" is about notorious gangsters John Dillinger, Baby Face Nelson and Pretty Boy Floyd.
