Roman Polanski Set To Make 'Oliver Twist'

[Tuesday, March 23rd, 2004]
Roman Polanski has taken on Charles Dickens' classic novel Oliver Twist as his next project, according to the Hollywood Reporter.

"After directing 'The Pianist,' an extremely personal movie, I started to think about what I would do next," said Polanski. "A comedy? A police movie? To me, it seems impossible to go back to doing that kind of thing, to tell a trivial story." He adds that his wish to make a movie for children came from watching his own small children.

Shooting is scheduled to begin in the Czech Republic by midyear.
