Director/Producer/Screenwriter Will Gluck teams with producers James Lassiter, Will and Jada Pinkett Smith, Shawn Jay Z Carter, Jay Brown, and Tyran Ty Ty Smith and a cast that includes Jamie Foxx, Quvenzhané Wallis, Rose Byrne, Bobby Cannavale, and Cameron Diaz.
Celia Costas serves as Executive Producer. Gluck is currently revising the films screenplay, which was written by Emma Thompson and rewritten by Aline Brosh McKenna based on the musical stage play Annie, book by Thomas Meehan, music by Charles Strouse, lyrics by Martin Charnin.
