Charles Dicken's famous tale Oliver Twist is set to hit the big screens.

Just like the novel, the movie will revolve around the pickpocket duo of Oliver Twist and Artful Dodger, but the story will have a twist. Scriptwriter Cole Haddon has been roped in to prepare the script. 

The 1968 musical drama Oliver did pretty well, winning six Oscars and even an award for the Best Picture and Best Direction.

If the film regains its classical touch, then there is no doubt that this children's favorite novel will turn into a Hollywood hit film.
