Bonnie And Clyde: "Go Down Together"

Director Neil Burger ("Limitless) is now attached to a new take on 1930's killers 'Bonnie Parker' and 'Clyde Barrow', based on the novel "Go Down Together: The True, Untold Story of Bonnie and Clyde", by author Jeff Guinn.

The bank-robbers are believed to have killed at least nine police officers and committed several civilian murders.

A playful snapshot of the couple found at an abandoned hide-out, with pistol-toting Bonnie smoking a cigar, was subsequently distributed to the press, positioning the unmarried outlaws on the national media scene, launching their brief careers as 'fun-loving' criminal superstars.

Without Bonnie, the media outside Texas might have dismissed Clyde as a gun-toting punk, if it ever considered him at all. But a steady stream of sassy photographs supplied by Bonnie kept the media and the Depression-era public wanting more.
