Release date: December 19, 2014
Produced by Will Smith, Jada Pinkett-Smith, James Lassiter and Jay Z, Sony's adaptation updated the rags-to-riches musical with stars Quvenzhane Wallis, Jamie Foxx, Rose Byrne, Bobby Cannevale and Cameron Diaz. Will Gluck directed from a revised script originally penned by Emma Thompson and Aline Brosh McKenna. It grossed $134 million worldwide.
In the final trailer for Annie, the orphan’s long-lost parents are actually a major presence.
“Please take care of our baby — her name’s Annie,” reads Quvenzhane Wallis as the title character. “There’s half a locket around her neck so when we come for her, you know she’s our girl.”
