Please tell me this is a joke...


I read an interview with an actress who said they were remaking this film with Hillary Duff in the Bonnie role. Sounds insane, but stranger things have happened (not many, though). If true, maybe they can get one of the Jonas Brothers to play Clyde. I mean, since he's supposed to have been in the closet...

Too late! Check Hillary Duff on IMDb and you'll find this movie already in production with someone else playing Clyde. The newest and most complete bio, GO DOWN TOGETHER, says there is nothing to the "Clyde in the closet" story. It comes from a prison episode with Clyde as the victim of another prisoner who he is supposed to have killed to end the abuse.

Tonya S. Holly is in Central Louisiana this week scouting locations and office space for the film about Depression-era bank robbers Clyde Barrow and Bonnie Parker. "Right now, we're looking for office space," said Holly, who is writer, director and producer on the project. "We have found most of our locations, but we're still looking for a few." Holly hopes to start shooting on "The Story of Bonnie and Clyde" in the fall, pending actors' schedules meshing. Hilary Duff and Kevin Zegers have been cast in the lead roles, alongside noted actors such as Michael Madsen, Cloris Leachman, Peter Coyote, Thora Birch and Lee Majors.
Should shooting start in the fall, Holly said she is hoping for a May 2010 release.

This isn't a re-make. It's another version that will be more related to BUGSY MALONE.

You gotta be kidding me! Hillary Duff as Bonnie Parker?

Hollywood has gone nuts officially! I smell a HUGE flop and a Razzie contender in several categories.

OK Hillary Duff as Bonnie Parker but without the Jonas Brothers playing Clyde how realistic can it be?

Am I the only one that thinks Faye Dunaway and Hilliary Duff look a lot a like?

They are identicals!
And Hilary Duff is ok for me. I'm not a fan but I've seen some of her latest works and I'm really impressed. She really improved her acting.
