While the majority of the film will be shot in Louisiana and Mississippi, Holly hopes to film some scenes in north Alabama. That goal will be made easier by the state Legislature’s recent passage of incentives for filmmakers, a cause Holly has championed since founding the Alabama Filmmakers Association in 1991.
Others signed to star in the film are Richard Tyson as Bob Alcorn; Rance Howard (father of Ron who recently appeared in “Frost/Nixon”) as Clyde’s father Henry Barrow; David Fralick as Big Ed Crowder; and Natalie Canerday as Mrs. Methvin.
Parts still to be cast include those of Blanche and Buck Barrow; Bonnie’s mother, Emma; Clyde’s mother, Cumie; and Ralph Fults. Holly is in negotiations with a popular young actor to play Fults but cannot make an announcement until he is signed, she said.
“Hopefully I’ll be making some announcements soon,” she said.
Holly is writer, producer and director of the film. She emphasizes that “The Story of Bonnie and Clyde” is not a remake of the 1967 film starring Faye Dunaway and Warren Beatty, but her own version of the story of the doomed couple.
She hopes to begin filming April 14 in St. Francisville, La., then move to Alexandria, Norwood and Jackson, La., she said, depending on actors’ schedules.
