Upcoming: Bonnie & Clyde Mini-Series

So…have you heard that the History Channel will be debuting a new mini-series sometime this year about the notorious Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow?  I was pretty excited upon hearing this news.  As many are, I am fascinated by outlaws and, even more so, women who are involved.

I have heard great things about the series brought by The History Channel over the last year such as The Hatfields and The McCoys, The Vikings, and The Bible – however I haven’t yet had the chance to watch any of them.  I have great hopes that this series will run in the same vein.  This will be a 4 hour mini-series which will air across Lifetime, History, and A&E. 

In this series, Emile Hirsch and Holliday Grainger will play the titular roles.  I think that they will make great visual comparisons with the real figures.

So what do you think?  Will you be watching?  Have you watched any of the other recent offerings from History?  What fascinates you about this dynamic duo?
