THR Heat Vision:
Jamie Foxx is in negotiations to star opposite Quvenzhane Wallis in Annie, the update of the classic comic strip-turned-musical that Sony is making with producers Will Smith and Jay-Z.
Foxx would play a character named Benjamin Stacks, a variation of the Daddy Warbucks personage, who takes in the spunky orphan girl being played by Wallis. (You know he’s rich because his name literally means stacks of $100 bills, aka Benjamins.) The Django Unchained star has received an offer from the studio and sources say his team has begun to negotiate.
With the new The Crow remake coming soon, we take a look back at the 30-year-old cult classic original–and where the stars are now.
Kaam Chalu Hai Review: Based on true events, this movie is thought-provoking and inspiring
Rebel Moon Part 2 Review: This movie doesn't feel anything new or worth remembering, which is a shame.
I love the original Annie..I guess this is suppose to be a musical as well?
I don't know how I feel about an updated Annie. They should just make it a standalone story without affiliating to Annie.
when i first read of this annie remake it said that the director was looking for a african american to play annie.
I really don't mind that...it's already been remade before but even when it was remade before it wasn't as good as the first one with Albert Finney.
