Film: "Annie" (2014)

  • Description
    The original Broadway production of Annie opened in 1977 to instant success. Soon after that in 1982, the somewhat surprising choice of John Huston (The Maltese Falcon, The Night of the Iguana) directed the film adaptation. After a standard made-for-TV-Disney remake in 1999, the franchise updated the musical for this adaptation in 2014. For example, it's now set in Harlem, Daddy Warbucks becomes Will Stacks (Jamie Foxx), and the Depression Era is swapped out for the mid-2010s tech boom. The musical's bones, however, largely remain. Annie (Quvenzhané Wallis) resides at Miss Hannigan's (Cameron Diaz) orphanage with an optimism far beyond what her means should support. A chance encounter with Stacks, a mobile phone mogul running for Mayor of New York City, begins one of the most famous Algeresque Broadway stories ever.
