"This here's Miss Bonnie Parker. I'm Clyde Barrow. We rob banks." Warren Beatty said it best in Arthur Penn's iconic 1967 film "Bonnie and Clyde." If you don't yet know the story of these two you better get ready for love, lust, violence, guns and of course some cigars because Bonnie and Clyde are coming back into the limelight nearly 80 years after the couple's iconic demise. In a special TV presentation taking place over two nights, and shown on three separate networks, director Bruce Beresford will bring the story of Bonnie and Clyde into the 21^st century. In the two-night miniseries set to premiere on A&E, Lifetime and History, Emile Hirsch and Holliday Grainger will attempt to pick up where Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway left off as the title characters Clyde Barrow and Bonnie Parker.

"Bonnie and Clyde: The Movie" will premiere on Sunday, December 8 at 9 pm EST on A&E, Lifetime and History, the second part will premiere on Monday, December 9 at 9pm EST. The major TV event is set to return the story to its roots, Emile Hirsch who portrays Clyde reveals that this presentation will tell the true story of the bandits, "It was really going back to the original historical material, photographs, excerpts, interviews and writings about them, trying to get an impression of what I think someone like that would be like," he says.

While most viewers are sure to remember and compare the new TV movie event to the 1967 film, the two story while both revolving around Bonnie and Clyde are set to be very different. Hirsch, best known for his role in "Into The Wild," read several biographies on the subject, including "Go Down Together" and "Public Enemies," and watched the BBC documentary, "The Real Bonnie & Clyde." Hirsch admitted that his portrayal of the character is very different, "I was shocked at the different conclusions that our version had come to as compared to the 1967 version."
