Oliver Twist is starting to really shape up adding Danny Strong as screenwriter for the modern, musical take on the Dickens' tale. Co-creator of Empire & appearing on camera in several TV shows, he also wrote Rebel in the Rye & The 2-part finale to the Hunger Games. I've never seen Rebel in the Rye, & I only caught the first part of the last Hunger Games. Which worries me a little, considering I didn't bother to see the last half. I didn't know to much about this Oliver Twist though. So, the thing that really caught my attention is that Ice Cube was attached to star & produce. I've been on Cube since N.W.A.. I even wound up liking that should've been horrible teacher fight movie. They also have attached Thomas Kail, the Tony wining director of Hamilton to direct, with Marc Platt (Wicked) & Jeff Kwatinetz (The Firm) as producers. This is really shaping up to look like something interesting. What do y'all think? Put it in the comments, like, & share.
