Holliday Grainger and Emile Hirsch will play the infamous bank-robbing couple Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow in Bonnie & Clyde, Lifetime/History’s four-hour miniseries directed by Oscar-nominated helmer Bruce Beresford and produced by Sony Pictures TV and Craig Zadan and Meron’s Storyline Entertainment. They join Oscar winners Holly Hunter and William Hurt, who were recently cast in the project. Written by John Rice and Joe Batteer, the mini is based on the true story of Clyde Barrow (Hirsch), a charismatic convicted armed robber who sweeps Bonnie Parker (Grainger), an impressionable, petite, small-town waitress, off her feet, and the two embark on one one of most infamous bank-robbing sprees in history. Hunter will play Bonnie’s mother Emma Parker; Hurt plays Frank Hamer, the Texas Ranger credited with tracking down and killing Bonnie and Clyde. Originally set up at History, Bonnie & Clyde will now air simultaneously on two A+E Networks, History and Lifetime, the latter of which has taken lead on the mini’s development and production.

what a shame. I had no idea Emile’s career was over.
Emile Hirsch on the Menopause Channel. G A M E O V E R
Menopause Channel… HAHAHAHAHAAHA
What do you mean? He’s on a roll.
Emile Hirsch? Ok, now I’m officially interested in this…
Wow, Emile is going to do a lifetime movie… Like Lohan? This is so upsetting it makes me sick. I guess he can go right into a holding deal with ABC FAMILY.
Who is Holliday Grainger? Bonnie and Clyde has been made! Really.
Better her than Miley Cyrus.
Please, complaining about “it’s a remake of a classic” yet again? Get over it, already. Remakes happen, new takes happen, new generations of tv and movie-goers happen.
Anytime a remake or reimagination happens, whether its Planet of the Apes or True Grit– we get the same tired “remakes suck” complaints by people clutching an old VHS tape in a dank basement somewhere. Sometimes remakes and reimaginations do suck, and sometimes they don’t. Maybe judge them on their own merits?
And with a Star Trek remake/sequel on the horizon, I expect a boatload of equally tired “JJ Abrams lens flares suck” and “I can’t believe they remade Khan, it’s blasphemy” comments.
In short, we need some fresh, original snark.
Bored now.
I laughed so loud at this comment. A+
Agreed! Half the teenagers I questioned never even heard of Bonnie and Clyde. Time for an introductory lesson. Excited to see how it turns out!
