Michael Caine, Lena Headey to Star in Modern-Day Version of ‘Oliver Twist’

[quote]Michael Caine, Lena Headey and pop star Rita Ora are to star in “Twist,” a modern-day, gender-bending film interpretation of Charles Dickens’ classic novel “Oliver Twist” for Sky, which will release the film day and date in theaters and on its pay-TV platform.

[quote]The title role of Oliver is played by Jude Law’s son Raff Law. In this version, Oliver is reinvented as a streetwise artist living on the streets of modern-day London. Franz Drameh, Sophie Simnett and David Walliams also star.

[quote]Two-time Academy Award winner Caine said: “Fagin is such an infamous character, it’s going to be great fun playing him. I’m really looking forward to working with Lena, Raff and the rest of the cast in London when we start shooting.”

"“Fagin is such an infamous character, it’s going to be great fun playing him. I’m really looking forward to working with Lena, Raff and the rest of the cast in London when we start shooting.”"

Of course what Caine actually meant was "I look forward to spending the money they're going to pay me, we all know I'll do anything for a buck!".

The project sounds ridiculous.

Rafferty "Raff" Law looks insufferable.
