Neil Burger (“Limitless”) is in talks to direct a new take on classic Depression Era outlaws Bonnie and Clyde for Kamala Films reports Deadline.
The film will be based on Jeff Guinn’s 2010 book “Go Down Together” which gives us a less romanticized version of the duo than seen in the classic 1967 film with Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway.
Such potential details include Bonnie Parker’s life as a prostitute before meeting Clyde, and Clyde’s first victim – a cell mate who had raped him repeatedly.
Sheldon Turner is penning the script while Sean and Bryan Furst and Marissa McMahon will produce. Burger is not yet set and is scheduled to shoot the “Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune” adaptation as his next project.
