'Bonnie and Clyde' to be remade by 'Limitless' director

will make a new movie based on the Bonnie and Clyde story.

Burger's project, to be written by Up in the Air 's Sheldon Turner, will reportedly be a less romanticised interpretation of the Depression Era outlaws than the 1967 film that starred Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway .

The first person Clyde Barrow murdered was a cellmate who sexually abused him, while Bonnie Parker was allegedly a prostitute before embarking on a crime spree with Barrow. Both were gunned down in 1934 after an ambush in Louisiana.

Jeff Guinn's book Go Down Together: The True, Untold Story of Bonnie and Clyde will serve as the basis for the film, reports Deadline .

Hilary Duff and Kevin Zegersare attached to play the notorious criminals in Tonya S. Holly's independent film The Story of Bonnie and Clyde .

Oliver Stone's 1992 drama Natural Born Killers , starring Woody Harrelson and Juliette Lewis, was also inspired by the Bonnie and Clyde story and Arthur Penn's '60s classic.
