I'm really into the history old school gangsters during the 1920's and 1930's. Unfortunately I thought Michael Mann dropped the ball on Public Enemy, the story of John Diliger. That movie should have been a lot better. Now it looks like another popular 1920's robber is getting a big screen treatment... Pretty Boy Floyed.
It's being reported that Wayne Kramer (The Cooler) has signed on to direct the film from a script written by Kevin Bernhardt.
Charles Arthur Floyd a.k.a. Pretty Boy committed numerous robberies and other crimes around Kansas City and the Midwest in the late ’20s and ’30s. During his spree he obtaining the nickname “The Robin Hood of the Cookson Hills” He died in 1934 at age 30.
Kramer had this to say regaurding the film,
My approach is to bring 21st century style and energy to Kevin Bernhardt’s meticulously researched screenplay without sacrificing the verisimilitude...
