Hilary Duff thinks 'The Story of Bonnie and Clyde' will be "beautiful".

The 21-year-old singer-and-actress is to play teenage outlaw Bonnie Parker in the new movie and says she can't wait to get started.

She said: "I'm really excited. I think it's going to be really beautiful. We're shooting in the South, and we want to really show how hot and dry it is...and the clothes! It's a tragic love story, and that's what we want to get across.

"And, also, how young they were. People don't realise that they were, like 18 years old doing this. In the version in '67, with Faye Dunaway and Warren Beatty, they were already adults, but Bonnie and Clyde were actually teenagers. So they were very ahead of their time. They were rebels, you know?"

Hilary has been throwing herself into researching her character to produce the most accurate portrayal she can.

She added to Nylon magazine: "I'm trying to do as much research as I can on who Bonnie was. She was a very sweet, likeable girl that the whole town loved, and she was always daydreaming about who was going to come take her away, and how she was going to have a life that means more. So she is kind of the girl-next-door that got herself in a lot of trouble."
