Producers of a new movie about Bonnie and Clyde are looking for locals to be extra in the move about the Great Depression-era outlaws.

Filming is scheduled to start this fall in Central Louisiana.

Tonya S. Holly of Cypress Moon Productions, who will produce and direct the $15 million movie, said the production company will hold a casting call in Alexandria.

Movie officials will field extras for the "The Story of Bonnie and Clyde" at the downtown Rapides Foundation building May 22 for scenes that will be shot in and around Alexandria.

The film is an original screenplay written by Holly that explores the lives of the outlaw lovers who plowed a swath of burglary and bloodshed across the Central United States in the 1930s. They were killed down by law officers in Bienville Parish.

Filming in the region is expected to last from six to eight weeks. The movie is expected to be released sometime in 2009.
