Sexy female Oliver Twist coming

[Raph's Girl]

Hopefully this doesn't go past the pilot stage....

a contemporary re-imagining with a twenty-something female lead who, in a statement by NBC, “finally finds a true sense of family in a strange group of talented outcasts who use their unique skills to take down wealthy criminals.”

Sounds more like Robin Hood...

giantess coming in

[CyberCubed]

i will watch if there's a lesbian love interest

[Spike Spiegel]

What's her name going to be? Olivette? Olivia? Or maybe just "O."

The networks are getting desperate these days.

[Utrommaniac]

Ah. Yes.

Let's take a story running on the travesties poor children faced in Victorian London, from orphanages if they were lucky to not slave away in work houses, to being street urchins...and make it about a sexy adult woman, probably in modern times.

She better not say "please sir, I want some more."

[plastroncafe]

At least it's not a police procedural?

[thundermaster612]

They could call her Olivia.

Also I'm surprised there are no reactions of people saying calling out 'feminazis'
but we do have yet to see more so I best hold up.

[Allio]

I don't know why I was thinking Gulliver's travels.

I apologies

[IndigoErth]

Oh yay, another "female version" of something already in existence...and uses the word "sexy" as part of the description because that's so new and original...

There would be no reason to have a female protagonist if she wasn't sexy.

Of course not.

The satire is strong with this one.

That's the sexy part.

Sounds like an Oliver Twist porn parody. :trolleye:

To quote PC...

Nobody cares about your boner.

[Cure]

Hopefully this means a sexy Christmas Carol is coming.

Mmmmm sexy ghost of Christmas future...

I might put that in my sig :lol:

[TurtleTitan97]

They're really running out of ideas for new shows, aren't they?

[CyberCubed]

TV hasn't been good since 2005.

[snake]

What was so special about 2005, Cubed?

[TonySiegel]

annie meets curly sue meets robin hood

[CylonsKlingonsDaleksOhMy]

I might put that in my sig :lol:

Let me know if you do! That'd be worth turning everybody's sigs back on... :tlol:

[thundermaster612]

Olivia Twisted

Or just Olivia Twat

[Spike Spiegel]

Or just Olivia Twat

Now that's not very nice. :lol:

The sad thing is, I'm sure there is a TV exec somewhere who would take you seriously.

[raph27]

The gender swap isn't the most confusing part to me. I'm wondering how Oliver Twist will stretch itself into a TV show. When I saw the title I assumed it was a movie.

[ProactiveMan]

They could probably use the same concept without the Oliver Twist angle; at least that would avoid the issue of trying to add sex appeal to a story about the exploitation of orphaned children.

[plastroncafe]

They couldn't very well do a show about sexually exploited boy children.
That sort of thing wouldn't play well in the "Heartland".

A Dickens' take on Sucker Punch? Is that what we're gonna get here?

One could only hope.

Oh god, you're right.

[CylonsKlingonsDaleksOhMy]

Oh god, you're right.

Let us all pray that I am wrong. :tlol:

[Prowler]

There would be no reason to have a female protagonist if she wasn't sexy.
Yeah, if I had the power I'd make sure every woman in the world was hot as hell.
