Kelly Brook Set For 'Bonnie And Clyde-Style' Movie Role

Kelly Brook is to star in a new British comedy-drama based on the famous story of Bonnie and Clyde.

The model and TV presenter, who appeared in Keith Lemon: The Film last year, is set to play the lead role in Taking Stock.

Written and directed by Maeve Murphy, it will see Kelly's character facing hardship after her boyfriend leaves her and the shop she works for goes bankrupt - prompting her to turn to crime.

She told The Hollywood Reporter: "It is so important that we continue to support British filmmaking and Maeve has written one of the best scripts I've read in a long time.

"I can't wait to get back to doing what I love, which is being on set and working with a hugely talented cast and crew."

Georgia Groome, Scot Williams, Jay Brown, Xavier Alcan and Femi Oyeniran are among the supporting cast for the movie - based on Murphy's short film Sushi.

THR claims it will begin shooting in London and Paris in July.

Kelly recently shared her holiday snaps with the world.
