Jamie Foxx To Be The New Daddy Warbucks In Annie RemakeFoxx is currently starring in a huge upcoming Sony tentpole, playing Electro in The Amazing Spider-Man 2, and he's of course coming off a huge star turn in Quentin Tarantino's Django Unchained.

Justin Timberlake Eyed To Play Daddy Warbucks In Annie Remake?Granted, this is a rumor that originated at The New York Post, but bear with us here. They say "Hollywood sources are buzzing" that none other than Justin Timberlake is being considered for the Daddy Warbucks role, the man who adopts Annie from the orphanage as a PR stunt and eventually grows to love her. Timberlake starred for Gluck in Friends with Benefits, and perhaps even more importantly he collaborated with Jay-Z on his new single "Suit and Tie"; Jay-Z is on board to produce and "reimagine" the music for the Annie film...by Katey Rich | published: 2013-03-19 14:35:29comments

Since breaking out in Beasts at Sundance a year ago Wallis has been an ingenue in the making, but it took until the eve of the Oscars to set up her true follow-up star turn...by Katey Rich | published: 2013-02-27 14:29:07comments

Beasts Of The Southern Wild's Quvenzhane Wallis Could Front Jay-Z's AnnieWhen Will Smith began developing a remake of the musical Annie with Jay-Z, his intentions were clearly to create a vehicle for his hair-whipping daughter Willow. But when news hit last week that the project had landed Will Gluck as director, it came with word that Willow had left the project. But who could possibly fill the shoes of the force of nature that is li'l Miss Smith? How about the youngest Oscar nominee of all time?...by Kristy Puchko | published: 2013-02-08 14:51:51comments
Annie Remake Gets Will Gluck As Director But Loses Willow SmithSomehow we have all lived long enough for there to be a movie role that Willow Smith is too old to play.

Will Smith And Jay-Z's Annie Remake Hires A New WriterNow that Will Smith has returned to acting with a legitimate hit of his own in Men In Black 3, you might think he could stop building up careers for his children who, y'know, could have the chance to be actual kids again. But the siren song of stardom apparently hasn't quit attacking the Smith household...by Katey Rich | published: 2012-07-27 09:41:54comments
Drunk Mess: 9 Great Alcoholic Movie CharactersHis ground and pound strategy might be a vicious fuck you to his own liver, but it’s also impressive in a go-hard-or-go-home Betty Ford kind of way. It’s inspired some of us to start asking for doubles. More importantly, it’s inspired more of us to argue endlessly over Google Chat and Facebook messages about why certain cinematic drunks are better than others. In the end, we couldn’t come to a consensus; so, we decided to give everyone a chance to defend his or her favorite....by CB Staff | published: 2011-10-27 00:20:33comments
Will Smith And Jay-Z Want Emma Thompson To Write Their Annie RemakeEmma Thompson's Nanny McPhee movies may look really stupid from the outside (severely ugly woman uses magic to get kids to shape up? Really?) but the truth is that both films have been fairly well received by critics and have appealed both both adult and young audiences. Beyond that, Thompson is quite the gifted writer, having adapted one of the best Jane Austen movie's, Ang Lee's Sense and Sensibility, for the big screen....by Eric Eisenberg | published: 2011-06-23 20:27:17comments

Will Smith Remaking Annie With His Daughter And Jay-Z?Back in the '90s and early '00s, there were few actors more entertaining to watch than Will Smith. Movies like Independence Day and Men in Black were so great that they even ...by Eric Eisenberg | published: 2011-01-19 19:35:14comments
