Annie Remake

[danoyse]

Or how about Norm Lewis? He's been playing leads on Broadway forever, it's about time he got a big movie role.

I think the success of this film will determine Quvenzhané Wallis' future in Hollywood. By the time she's 18 she could either be a highly sought after A-list actress with two Oscar nominations before she's able to drive (if this film has the same box office and critical success as Les Miz) and (maybe) a hit Disney Channel TV series or she disappears for a few years to live a normal life and returns at age 18 in "Tyler Perry's Madea's Going to a Nursing Home."

Sooo...it looks like Jamie Foxx will be Daddy Warbucks.

But Oliver Warbucks will have a new name: Benjamin Stacks.

 

[ThePowerCosmic]

Well, I like the name... I'm interested in seeing where this goes.

 

[Lencho01]

I like the name too.

This is funny...the current Broadway cast of Annie had a rap battle with the current Broadway cast of Newsies about their somewhat similar plotlines at the recent BC/EFA Easter Bonnet show:

From that article looks like this will be a period piece unless the great depression that they are referring to covers the years that George W. Bush was President.

How Willow left the project...

http://http://www.vulture.com/2013/05/will-and-jaden-smith-on-working-together.html

Do you think Jaden could have been a dentist?

Will: It may seem like we have pushed our kids into the business, but that is absolutely insane. I would never, ever, push somebody to have their face on a poster that&#8217;s going be everywhere in the world. He is making a choice from the informed. It&#8217;s less scary to me than if he wanted to be a dentist in that I couldn&#8217;t help with what he&#8217;d chosen. I have relationships with some of the biggest filmmakers and actors and producers on Earth. So I can be a huge help.

Willow chose singing and then un-chose it. She said, &#8220;Daddy, I want to go to school with my friends during the week, and I want to hang out with them on the weekends.&#8221; At the peak of &#8220;Whip My Hair,&#8221; she&#8217;s like, &#8220;Daddy, I&#8217;m done.&#8221; I was like, &#8220;Wow, wow, wow. No, baby, I got Annie [the upcoming movie remake, co-produced by Jay-Z], you know. It&#8217;ll be New York, you&#8217;ll be with Beyoncé. You can bring your friends.&#8221; And she said, &#8220;Daddy, I got a better idea. How about I just be 12?&#8221; At the end of the day, it has to be their choice.

i dont belive that he said this.

&#8220;Daddy, I&#8217;m done.&#8221; I was like, &#8220;Wow, wow, wow. No, baby, I got Annie''

How awesome would it have been if Jay Z showed up out of nowhere to rap in that number?

For that matter, can we get him in the movie? That would be sweet.

 

[Lencho01]

i dont belive that he said this.

“Daddy, I’m done.” I was like, “Wow, wow, wow. No, baby, I got Annie''

Maybe she derailed some of the production aspects of the film and it sounds like he may have informed him too long after she decided to have a more normal life.

 

[Raiden]

Sounds like a conversation between an celebrity and her agent.

Sandra Bullock as Miss Hattigan?

This would be a smart casting move. Will Smith and Jay Z want to see this film do very well. I believe the success of this film will determine the future of Quvenzhane Wallis in Hollywood.

 

[ThePowerCosmic]

For some reason, I was expecting Mo'Nique for Miss Hattigan.

 

[danoyse]

People, it's Miss Hannigan...not Miss Hattigan.

Jane Lynch is playing her on Broadway now. She performed on the Tonys this weekend:

I can kinda see Sandra Bullock doing this too it would be really funny.

 

[danoyse]

Here's Carol Burnett singing "Little Girls" in the 1982 movie (my favorite):

And Kathy Bates in the 1999 TV movie (the kid playing Molly plays Hayley on Modern Family now):

[Sawyer]

People, it's Miss Hannigan...not Miss Hattigan.

I noticed that, but I decided to keep my mouth shut until one of the theater people caught wind of it. Figured there would be more outrage that way.

 

[terry78]

Sorr-ree, your highness.

 

[danoyse]

Honestly...who gets that wrong??

 

[ThePowerCosmic]

Oh well. lmao

You haven't seen The Proposal?!

I don't think Sandra Bullock can pull off mean & nasty very well, I say bring back Carol Burnett as her mother & have her act the same way as she did in the original Annie as Ms. Hannigan now that would be very entertaining.

 

[Dr. Evil]

You haven't seen The Proposal?!

Nope.
