Edgar Wright Just Wrote A Steampunk Movie Sequel ToOliver Twist

Cornetto trilogy film director Edgar Wright is the in style soul to turn in a selective service of Dodge and Twist , a motion-picture show continuation to Charles Dickens ’ novel Oliver Twist , countersink in 19th century , Victorian steampunk England ( free-base somewhat upon the “ more serious ” novel by former Doctor Who comic author Tony Lee ) .

According toFilm Divider , it ’s a undertaking that Sony has been kicking around for a while — the first draft was by the creator of NBC ’s awesome / mad Dracula series , Cole Haddon , and cash in one’s chips through another rescript before Wright turned his entirely young version . purportedly Wright does not plan to direct it ( his scale is pretty full with Baby Driver and Grasshopper Jungle ) , so that ’s a big interrogation crisscross for the project . THR describes the movie as such :

Taking a page out of the recent Robert Downey Jr.-starring Sherlock Holmes movies , Twist takes pickpocketing competition Oliver Twist and disingenuous Dodger and re - imagines them 20 years down the route . The two are on diametric side of the legal philosophy and get embroiled in an affair to steal the Crown Jewels .

Uh , other than being set in 19th century England , I have no idea what this means . RDJ ’s Holmes motion-picture show were n’t steampunk , were they ? And they certainly were n’t sequels of any sort to Sir Arthur Conan Doyle ’s narration . Also , they were passably terrible . Also also , how the shtup do you take a pageboy out of a movie ?

Whatever . As long as there ’s an orphanhood with some kind of gear mechanism - laden , steampunk gruel - dispensing car in it , I ’m in too .
