RITA Ora looks totally unrecognisable in her role as the Artful Dodger in upcoming film Twist, alongside Michael Caine.

A first look at Sky's new upcoming film was dropped yesterday and the singer, 29, looks absolutely incredible in every scene.

It comes after The Sun revealed that the beauty was in talks to take part in the multi-million pound Hollywood remake of the 1968 musical movie Oliver!, back in October.

Inspired by Charles Dickens’ 1839 novel, the movie is a fresh retelling of the story, added with new songs to give it a contemporary edge.

And the trailer certainly doesn't disappoint.

The film is directed by Martin Owen and produced by Pure Grass Films, along with Unstoppable Film and Television and FAE Film and Television.

It has an incredible cast, with the likes of Rafferty 'Raff' Law playing the protagonist and Michael Caine, 87, as gang mastermind Fagin.

Other stars include David Walliams as Dr Crispin Losberne, Lean Headey as Sikes, Tanya Burr as Rosie, Sophie Simnett as Red and Franz Drameh as Batesey. 

Twist (Rafferty Law) catches the Artful Dodger's (Rita Ora) attention during a graffiti session in the capital and is soon welcomed into the gang with open arms as they plot against Fagin.

The I Will Never Let You Down singer rocks a selection of cool looks throughout the blockbuster, including a black leather combo, various animal prints, retro accessories and oversized fur coats.

And Rita puts on her best performance for the traditionally male role, with a range of impressive fighting scenes and amazing stunts throughout.

Speaking about the film back in October last year, a movie insider told The Sun: “Rita has held discussions about the role and reckons it could really help cement her as a credible actress.

"The film is going to be considerably different from the original, but her character will be loosely based on the Artful Dodger.

“The talks are ongoing but she is eager to make it happen and the casting team have been really impressed with Rita so far.

"The film is going to be massive and there is already a lot of buzz around it in the industry so it’s very exciting for her.”
