AceShowbiz - "Little Women", which is always associated with sisterhood, is going to get a twisted version. The CW is currently developing a "hyper-stylized, gritty adaptation" of the 1860s novel by Louisa May Alcott.
Deadline reports that Michael Weatherly, best known for his portrayal of Tony DiNozzo on "NCIS: Naval Criminal Investigative Service", is executive producing the project through his Solar Drive Productions, with Tiffany Grant producing. Alexis Jolly is tapped to write the script.
The story will center on "disparate half-sisters Jo, Meg, Beth, and Amy" as they "band together in order to survive the dystopic streets of Philadelphia and unravel a conspiracy that stretches far beyond anything they have ever imagined-all while trying not to kill each other in the process." Other details of the project are currently unavailable.
