Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow were two of the most renowned young fugitives in history. The Story of Bonnie and Clyde, a new adaptation (not a remake) of the classic love story was written by Tonya S. Holly (When I Find The Ocean) of Cypress Moon Studios who will also direct the film. Holly wrote the film based on her early fascination with the Depression era lovers turned fugitives. "I have lived with The Story of Bonnie and Clyde in my mind for years," said Holly. I was first intrigued when I found old newspapers containing articles about the couple, in an abandoned house on my parents property. The Story of Bonnie and Clyde is extremely character driven and full of many surprises that have never been seen before on the big screen. “I am thrilled to have Cloris Leachman attached to the film. She is a phenomenal talent and I look forward to working with her.” Cloris Leachman is repped by Innovative Artists and managed by George Englund. Cypress Moon Studios is represented by Ray Gross of the law firm Gipson, Hoffman and Pancione. Media interested in further information please contact Lauren Lewis at (818) 970-0052.
