OK, maybe there’s no need for a panic. After all, this Variety piece assures us that the upcoming indie The Story of Bonnie and Clyde is “a new adaptation of the story of Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow rather than a remake of the 1967 classic film starring Faye Dunaway and Warren Beatty.” Still, even though I know she’s all growed up now, reading that Hilary Duff will star in the new version written and directed by Tonya S. Holly puts me in mind of Bugsy Malone. I’m sure it will all work out just fine.
Another Hilary, last name o’ Swank, will co-star with Minnie Driver in Betty Anne Waters. Per The Hollywood Reporter, it’s based on the true story of Waters (Swank), an unemployed single mother who saw her brother convicted for a murder-robbery in 1983 and sentenced to life in prison. Convinced of his innocence, she spent the next decade earning a law degree and working on her brother's case, challenging the conviction with DNA evidence.” It’s Swank’s Erin Brockovich, y’all!
Brendan Fraser is seeking Furry Vengeance. Fraser plays “a real estate developer whose new housing subdivision pushes far into a pristine part of the Oregon wilderness, pitting the developer against a band of angry critters,” Variety reports. I sure hope they’re talking cartoon critters.
