According to Variety, Hilary Duff and Kevin Zegers (their faces are pasted over Dunaway and Beatty’s bodies above) above are set to star as Bonnie and Clyde in an all new adaptation by Tonya S. Holly and Cypress Moon Studios. The independent feature, titled The Story of Bonnie and Clyde, is based on newspaper articles about the gangsters and will not be a remake of the Beatty classic. Natalie Canerday and Rance Howard are co-starring in the crime drama.
I’ll be completely honest, I had no idea who Zegers was and I had to IMDB him. His four Air Bud credits don’t exactly scream that hes a good fit for Clyde. Duff also has not done anything to impress or convince me that she is right for the role. I think I’ll stick with my DVD copy of Bonnie and Clyde and skip this Story.
How about you, will you give this new version a chance?
Oh man, this is going to be soooooooooooo bad
I think people are underestimating Hilary. It might be just 50% suck and 50% horrible.
I love the Dunaway/Beatty version of Bonnie and Clyde, and it really holds up today.
i cant wait for this movie. hilary is gonna do great. shes a great actress.
luv u hil =]
Hilary Duff is my third favorite actress in the world. Although I love and support her, I think she’s setting herself up for a world of hate.
People already hate her because she’s “Disney” (personally, I think she’s better than the Disney stars, but that’s just my opinion) and now people are going to seriously hate her because she’s going to ruin a good movie.
And yes, I do like her, but NOBODY can remake this movie. Not even an emmy-award winner. This is THE movie, and I love Hilary Duff, but I’m not going to be pro-Hilary when everyone starts to talk crap about this movie.
Hey Ryan, welcome to the site! Hilary was just cast in the new season of Gossip Girl as an actress trying to have a normal college life. I think this is a much better role for her to showcase her acting. I think she’ll fit well with the cast.
