The Cypress Moon Productions feature film "The Story of Bonnie and Clyde" is currently casting and re-casting a number of starring roles after Hilary Duff announced she is pregnant and was pulling out of the project. Duff was set to play Bonnie Parker. Kevin Zegers was set to play Clyde Barrow, however he also pulled out of the project due to scheduling conflicts. Shooting will begin in November, 2011 and take place in Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, and Missouri.
In their statement regarding both Duff and Zegers’ departure from the film Cypress Moon Studios said, "While production has been pushed several times due to financial, scheduling and other factors such as tornadoes devastating some of our locations, we are currently gearing up to start production later this year. Unfortunately we are now faced with scheduling conflicts with our leads Hilary Duff and Kevin Zegers. We were told that Duff would not be available until June, 2012 and that Zegers would not be available until January of the new year. Due to our obligations with investors and international buyers it is imperative that we stick to our current schedule. Therefore we are forced to explore other options for the two lead roles. Unfortunately this happens all the time in the world of filmmaking".
