Upon hearing of a Bonnie and Clyde remake directed by newcomer Tonya S. Holly and starring Hilary Duff, the original film’s star, Faye Dunaway, reportedly said, “‘Couldn’t they at least cast a real actress?”
Meow!
The original film was nominated for 10 Oscars back in 1967, wining one for Best Supporting Actress and one for Best Cinematography.
Dunaway and co-star Warren Beatty both expressed exasperation over plans for a remake, but director Holly insists that The Story of Bonnie and Clyde will be an original script inspired by old news clippings of the famous outlaws that she found.
So it’s more of a retelling than a remake, but does Hil have the chops for it?
