Director, Tonya S. Holly, pursuing other actresses as the timing of Duff's pregnancy just doesn't work out for the film's executives. They would begin filming in the fall.

Hilary won't be available until next June. If we could wait we would, a Bonnie source told TMZ.

There had been previous controversies regarding Duff's role already. Faye Dunaway, who played the original Bonnie, did not hide her disappointment with the casting. Couldn't they at least cast a real actress?
