Worst Idea Ever: Hilary Duff To Star In Bonnie And Clyde Remake

I have nothing against Hilary Duff. I'm sure she is a nice girl. I can't speak towards her acting abilities, because the few films on her acting resume that I have seen, I conveniently don't remember  (or have tried to forget about). She's certainly pleasant to look at, but being good to look at isn't enough to earn you a lead role in a remake to one of the greatest films of all time.

Variety has confirmed that Duff will play Bonnie in Tonya S Holly's The Story of Bonnie and Clyde, which is technically not a remake of the 1967 classic film Bonnie and Clyde which starred Faye Dunaway and Warren Beatty. Holly supposedly penned a new adaptation on the life and times of the famous gangster duo.

But don't worry, the supporting cast will surely make up for Duff, right? — Air Bud 3 star Kevin Zegers will play Clyde. Oh wait, And it gets worse... Holly's 2006 debut film When I Find the Ocean is currently ranked at a 3.6 by Internet Movie Database users, which more than qualifies her to remake a film with an 8.1 rating (ranked #214 of all time). Who in Hollywood actually greenlights this shit? Is making something that is both good and original that hard?
