NBC To Develop “Sexy, Contemporary” Female-Led Reboot Of “Oliver Twist”

Charles Dickens’ 19th century novel, “Oliver Twist” is getting a modern–day adaptation – and with a female lead.

On Friday, NBC and Silver Pictures Television announced a pilot-script deal for Twist, which was described to be a “sexy, contemporary” interpretation on the classic tale.

The Hollywood Reporter exclusively reported it’s logline as follows: “A sexy contemporary take on Oliver Twist with a struggling 20-something female (Twist) who finally finds a true sense of family in a strange group of talented outcasts who use their unique skills to take down wealthy criminals.”

Penning the script will be Chad Damiani and J.P. Lavin, who are both known for the upcoming film adaptation of the game “Fruit Ninja.” The duo will also executive produce, alongside founder of Silver Pictures’ Joel Silver and president Rodney Ferrell.
