It seems the sky is the er, limit for Neil Burger; after achieving success with psychological thriller Limitless, the director has signed on for a reboot of Bonnie and Clyde.

The crime caper remake will be penned by Up in the Air scriptwriter Sheldon Turner from Jeff Guinn’s We Both Go Down Together: The True, Untold Story of Bonnie and Clyde.

The remake faces some hefty pressure from its predecessor, the 1967 Arthur Penn film, starring Warren Beatty as Clyde Barrow and Faye Dunaway as Bonnie Parker, which won 2 Academy Awards in 1968.

Since then there have been several versions of the heisting duo, some more iconic than others.

In a nod to Penn’s original crime couple, 1994’s Pulp Fiction sees Pumpkin and Honey Bunny rob a diner in the opening moments of the film.

While Teenage Bonnie and Klepto Clyde will be amongst the lesser known and remembered Bonnie and Clyde inspired movies.
