2014 Annie film

Trailer's out for the new Annie movie starring Quvenzhané Wallis as Annie, Jamie Fox as Daddy Warbucks, and Cameran Diaz as Ms. Hannigan. This is set in modern times instead of the 1920's. Didn't think it would work with Jamie Fox as Daddy Warbucks but... it actually does.

Just watched the trailer. Kinda... iuno. Did we need another Annie? Did the first one do something wrong?

....eh? It look okay but I don't know if I like it being set in modern times...the songs sound really good though, I'll give it that.

I'm just waiting for the inevitable "black washing" argument to break out. Since that kind of ish is so popular around these parts.

I'm not really into it but I never liked Annie in the first place. I don't have a problem with them doing it though. How many times have we seen re-tellings of Beauty and The Beast or Romeo and Juliet? Might as we do something new with it.

Seems like they mostly hang in the TMNT movie section.

I think this is a pretty interesting spin on Annie. I've always liked the musical myself, so to have it be done again is pretty awesome.

First one didn't do anything wrong. Nor did the 2nd one (which really wasn't up to par with the 1982 adaption).

It's a comic book movie thing. Gotta have a new version every 15 - 30 years. And yes Annie is based on a comic that lasted for like 86 years (it was cancelled in 2010). The comic always adapted it for whatever era they were in (heck during WWII Annie faught Nazi's with her Junior Commandos. *lol*)

The only thing I didn't find ridiculously endearing about this movie was all the scenery Cameron Diaz was chewing.
