Tenacious, self-assured, and persistently positive, Annie – the iconic character whose relentlessly optimistic search for a family has inspired generations – comes to the big screen with a contemporary vision in Annie. Director, Producer and Screenwriter Will Gluck combines a love of music, enduring characters, and a modern New York setting, teaming with producers James Lassiter, Jada Pinkett Smith & Will Smith, Caleeb Pinkett, Shawn 'JAY Z" Carter, Laurence 'Jay" Brown, and Tyran 'Ty Ty" Smith to capture the magic of a character who has moved audiences from comics to the stage to television to film.
Academy Award® nominee Quvenzhané Wallis (Beasts of the Southern Wild) stars as Annie, a young, happy foster kid who's also tough enough to make her way on the streets of New York in 2014. Originally left by her parents as a baby with the promise that they'd be back for her someday, it's been a hard-knock life ever since with her mean foster mum Miss Hannigan (Cameron Diaz). But everything's about to change when the hard-nosed tycoon and New York mayoral candidate Will Stacks (Jamie Foxx) - advised by his brilliant VP, Grace (Rose Byrne) and his shrewd and scheming campaign advisor, Guy (Bobby Cannavale) - makes a thinly-veiled campaign move and takes her in. Stacks believes he's her guardian angel, but Annie's self-assured nature and bright, sun-will-come-out-tomorrow outlook on life just might mean it's the other way around.
This new twist on the classic Broadway musical features three new songs woven seamlessly into the score, which has also been reimagined and updated for modern times by Australian superstar Sia, and Greg Kurstin.
