Annie Official Synopsis:
A Broadway classic that has
delighted audiences for generations comes to the big screen with a new,
contemporary vision in Columbia Pictures’ comedy, Annie. Director/Producer/Screenwriter Will Gluck
teams with producers James Lassiter, Will Smith & Jada Pinkett Smith, and
Shawn “JAY Z” Carter, Laurence “Jay” Brown, and Tyran “Ty Ty” Smith with a
modern telling that captures the magic of the classic characters and original
show that won seven Tony Awards. Celia Costas serves as Executive Producer. The screenplay is by Will Gluck and Aline
Brosh McKenna, based on the musical stage play “Annie,” book by Thomas Meehan,
music by Charles Strouse, lyrics by Martin Charnin, and on “Little Orphan
Annie,” © and ® Tribune Media Services, Inc.
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.
