Nickelodeon fan favorites Jennette McCurdy, Noah Crawford, Ariana Grande, Chris O’Neal, Ciara Bravo, and Noah Munck are teaming up for Swindle, an original comedy movie based on the children’s book by Gordon Korman. Filming is expected to begin this month in Canada.
 
Swindle unites a cavalcade of Nick stars in an Ocean’s Eleven-type tale about kid empowerment and justice,” stated Marjorie Cohn, President, Content Development, Nickelodeon Group. “We are excited to give our audience a movie featuring beloved stars from across the Nickelodeon universe in this wish-fulfilling adventure full of big laughs.”
 
Nickelodeon’s planning to air Swindle in 2014.
 
The Plot:
 
In Swindle, when an evil collector cons Griffin (Crawford) out of a million dollar baseball card that could have saved his best friend’s (O’Neal) home, he unites a ragtag group of his classmates (Grande, McCurdy, Munck and Bravo) to take down the swindler. It’s a valiant adventure that will take them through daring heists, crazy disguises, pie fights and a showdown with a sumo wrestler – but throughout it all, the kids have to bring their skills together as a team to get justice.
