Faye Dunaway Rips Apart Hilary Duff! Ouch! - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Brian Damage · 01-30-2009, 11:01 PM

Quick! Can you think of any remake of great film classic that has been better than the original?

No, I didn't think so.

That's also reportedly the reaction of both Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway upon hearing about a new ''Bonnie & Clyde'' in the works.

Hollywood sources tell me the two Oscar winners both said, ''Why?'' upon hearing the news little-known director Tonya S. Holly will direct ''The Story of Bonnie and Clyde,'' based on her own screenplay. Holly says her project was inspired not by the 1967 film, but by news clippings of the famous Depression-era outlaws, found in an abandoned house on her family's property.

Learning her role as Bonnie Parker would be portrayed by Hilary Duff, Dunaway supposedly zinged, ''Couldn't they at least cast a real actress?'' Wow. Meow.

Beatty's Clyde Barrow role will be played by Kevin Zegers, whose credits include ''The Jane Austen Book Club'' and ''Transamerica.''

The original ''Bonnie & Clyde'' received 10 Oscar nominations, but won only two -- Estelle Parsons for best supporting actress and for cinematography.

MEOWWW!! Faye Dunaway sure is catty, but I too am stymied as to why this story is becoming another movie. I just hope it won't be another movie for the "tweeners".

Certainly, the casting is a bit questionable. However, Duff might surprise us, you never know.

You're right. I know I shouldn't knock it before I see it, but I'm still skeptical. I don't think it needs to be remade, but what do I know?

Kevin Zegers has talent so I can see choosing him, but Hilary? Um, no, horrible choice.

Gosh, I still remember him from Titans.

I'll always know him as that Air Bud kid.

By the way he was good in the Dawn of the Dead remake and Transamerica.

I'd rather watch Hillary Duff than that other actress. It might be a stretch for her though. Faye shouldn't be so bitter, trying to sound like Bette Davis or Joan Crawford.

I'll give Kevin and Hilary a chance maybe both have improved their acting.

I don't know why some older actresses act this way. Lauren Bacall was on a bitchfest recently, and some others that I forget. To me, they come off as bitter old bats. Give the new talent a chance. Everyone has to start somewhere.

TJL · 01-31-2009, 07:41 PM

I guess Faye just talked herself out of a cameo in the new movie...

I agree with you. I mean Hilary is still young and needs room to grow. I'm sure if Faye or Lauren or whomever would remember that than they wouldn't say anything. Dementia must be a bitch.

I also recall Katharine Hepburn was pretty catty about Meryl Streep - at least that's what it said in some book about KH.
