Annie is a musical comedy based on the 1977 play of the same name. Will Gluck (Friends with Benefits) directs this contemporary remake starring Quvenzhané Wallis as Annie, Jamie Foxx as Will Stacks (taking the place of Oliver “Daddy” Warbucks), and co-starring Rose Byrne, Bobby Cannavale, and Cameron Diaz.
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 mom 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.
On November 27, Annie was one of five Sony Pictures films leaked onto file sharing sites by a group called the Guardians of Peace. The effect the leak will have on the film’s box office totals remains to be seen, but family films such as Annie don’t get pirated nearly as often as big blockbusters.
Annie is rated PG.
