Bonnie & WHYde?

NOTE: You are not dreaming. What I am about to write is totally, completely, 100% accurate.

Hillary Duff will star in the new indie feature The Story of Bonnie and Clyde, an adaptation of the tale that was made into the 1967 classic - and Danifesto favorite - Bonnie and Clyde.

In response to this, Faye Dunaway (who played Bonnie in the original) said, "Couldn't they have at least cast a real actress?" And then in response to THAT, Hillary Duff had the nerve to insult Faye Dunaway's looks!

I think Faye looks pretty good for 68. And she certainly looked fabulous in 1967. Of course, HillDuff wouldn't know anything about that.

The question here, though, is: WHY? WHY WOULD ANYONE EVER MAKE THIS?????

Though this movie is apparently not officially a "remake," everyone will compare it with the original. Why on earth do people bother to remake, or "update," classics? Nobody wants to see a new version of a classic (see: Psycho, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, etc.). This is just asking for trouble.

Who's gonna play Gene Hackman's role? One of the Jonas Brothers?
