Chloe Grace Moretz (Let Me In) and Jack O’Connell (Unbroken) have signed on to star as Bonnie and Clyde in the Depression-era drama Love is a Gun, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
Based on Jeff Guinn’s Go Down Together: The True, Untold Story of Bonnie and Clyde, the film is written by Oscar-nominee Sheldon Turner (Up In the Air) and is described as a “thrilling, gritty and emotional story of two of history’s most famous lovers, Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow.”
The film will be directed by Kike Maillo, who directed the 2016 film Toro, and produced by Marissa McMahon and Ashley Schlaifer of Kamala Films and Sean and Bryan Furst of Skybound Entertainment.
“We are excited to reintroduce the iconic story of Bonnie and Clyde,” the producing team said in a joint statement.
