Cypress Moon Studios is set to produce The Story of Bonnie and Clyde with Hilary Duff and Kevin Zegers to star in the independent feature.

According to Variety, Tonya S. Holly will direct the film from her own script, which is a new adaptation of the story of Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow rather than a remake of the tour de force 1967 classic film starring Faye Dunaway and Warren Beatty. Holly began working on the project after reading old newspaper articles about the gangster pair in an abandoned house on her family’s property.

The Story of Bonnie and Clyde is set to start shooting in Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama. Natalie Canerday and Rance Howard will also star.

Word has gotten around that Hilary Duff is set to play a “sexy, high school senior” in Stay Cool, an upcoming film from the Polish brothers, who are best known for Northfork and Twin Falls Idaho. Duff will take on the role of Shasta O’Neil, a teenager who flirts with a successful author visiting her school to deliver a speech to graduating students.

The writer in question will be acted by co-writer Mark Polish, with Winona Ryder starring as the unrequited high school crush he is forced to face up during the trip. Jon Cryer and Chevy Chase round out the cast.
