Season 6 was a busy one for Elizabeth Olsen, starting with the revisionist action-comedy rendition of Bonnie & Clyde from writer Chad Taylor and director Taika Waititi. The film was a box office failure despite the solid reviews.

After a few seasons away from LRF, Olsen returned with the graphically violent western from writer Ben Collins. The film failed to connect with audiences, failing at the box office.

Up Next: After the release of Coma, Elizabeth Olsen will only have one film left in development - a supernatural horror film from writer Lon Charles, but the film is still most likely a few seasons away.
