Out of circumstance, Bill sees Oliver as both an asset and a liability, but one that needs to be kept enslaved under his direction. Oliver also comes to the attention of the wealthy Mr. Oliver looks to Nancy as his one true friend, especially needed when he discovers what Fagin and the boys actually do. One of Fagin's associates is the violent Bill Sikes, whose girlfriend, Nancy, is devoted to him despite his abuse of her. What Oliver is initially unaware of is that they are really a band of pickpockets, Fagin who hides away whatever riches he is able to obtain for his own personal benefit. Managing to make his way to London, Oliver, feeling accepted for the first time in his life, is welcomed into a group of other young boys, headed by the Artful Dodger, who "make wallets" under the direction of Fagin. Now an adolescent, Oliver, who has never felt loved or accepted, manages to escape from both the harsh workhouse and his equally harsh placements "for sale". But here's a photo of Rita Ora appearing cold on set.In Victorian England, Oliver Twist is the name given by a workhouse warden to a boy born in the workhouse orphanage, Oliver's mother who died in childbirth and whose identity is unknown. We don't have any info yet on the release date, but we guestimate you could be seeing it by Christmas 2021. Though we can see from set pics released by the Daily Mail that shooting started on October 22nd in London. Do you even know when Oliver's coming out? Sounds like things are still a bit up in the air. If IMDB is to be our trusted source, to quote our favorite Sanderson sister, something's gone amuck since January 2018. So, like the lost orphan the film follows, we simply don't know what.or who to believe. But, based on Twist's IMDB page, last updated earlier this week, neither of them will be associated. Hamilton's Tony-winning director, Thomas Kail was supposedly tapped to be behind the camera, according to the same article that announced Strong's involvement. Gilmore Girls fans might remember him as Doyle. He's the co-creator of Empire and a screenwriter of Lee Daniels's The Butler, Game Change, and a little thing called The Hunger Games. Deadline reported in 2018 that Danny Strong would be penning the script. I hear the creative team is pretty star-studded. And Nancy's originally scruffy love interest, the infamous Bill Sikes, will be Game Of Thrones star Lena Headey in another gender-swapped part, according to Digital Spy. That is, unless you're one of his 42,000 Instagram followers.Īdele is rumored to be playing the embattled lady of the night, Nancy, however that's yet to be confirmed. We're vamping because not much else is known about the Hollywood newcomer who is somehow portraying a sweet little cockney-accented boy. Here's what else we know about the Oliver! remake, including the familiar-looking chap in the titular role. Plus, British singer-songwriter Rita Ora is playing Fagin's right-hand gal, the Artful Dodger, in a gender-swapped part, so that should give you another indication of the hybrid bops we can expect from the soundtrack. And with Ice Cube (once) reportedly signed on to also produce, according to a potentially stale Deadlinearticle, we bet a lot of Lionel Bart's classic tunes like " Consider Yourself" and " I'd Do Anything" will feature some uptempo rapping. Though Oliver!, and of course the Dickensian classic, are set in Victorian England, Twist is naturally getting a modern, hip-hop reimagining. The movie took home the Best Picture Academy Award, while the Broadway show scored a Tony five years prior. Oliver!, the 1968 film adaption of the acclaimed musical (and book), follows a young orphan who escapes sordid workhouse conditions only to be "adopted" by a group of hooligans led by the swarthy Fagin and his band of pickpockets. The beloved Charles Dickens tale is getting the remake treatment in a Disney flick called Twist.
