Rex Features

Hilary Duff and Faye Dunaway have engaged in a war of words over the planned remake of Bonnie And Clyde.

Dunaway, 68, starred as Bonnie Parker in the original 1967 film, while Duff has been confirmed to reprise the role in an updated version.

When told of the former Lizzie McGuire star's casting, Dunaway reportedly remarked: "Couldn't they at least cast a real actress?"

Speaking to E! News, Duff retaliated by saying: "I think that my fans that are going to go see the movie don't even know who she is. I think it was a little unnecessary, but I might be mad if I looked like that now, too."

The Story Of Bonnie And Clyde, starring Duff and Kevin Zegers, is scheduled for release in 2010.
