            Chloe Grace Moretz has turned herself into a must-watch actress as of late. Though many probably know her best as Hit-Girl from the Kick Ass franchise, she’s taken more serious and dramatic work as of late. According to The Playlist, this trend will continue as Moretz is set to star opposite Jack O’Connell as Bonnie and Clyde in Love is a Gun.

            Love is a Gun is described as a “thrilling, gritty and emotional story of two of history’s most famous lovers, Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow. The movie will be directed by Spanish director, Kike Maillo as well as written by the duo of Sheldon Turner and Johnny Newman. Maillo is best known for his films, Toro and Eva. Turner wrote the Jason Reitman film, Up in the Air while Newman has written for the Netflix series, Narcos. The pair of writers will adapt Go Down Together: The True, Untold Story of Bonnie and Clyde for the feature.

            Moretz starred in the recent film, The Miseducation of Cameron Post for which she’s earning rave reviews as well as the remake of Suspiria done by Luca Guadagnino. O’Connell can be seen in the Netflix limited series, Godless and the upcoming film, Against All Enemies alongside Kristen Stewart, Zazie Beetz, Vince Vaughn and Anthony Mackie.
