The first trailer for the new Annie movie is here, giving fans a peek at the modern-day revamp of the 1982 musical classic.
Beasts of the Southern Wild star Quvenzhané Wallis shines as the film's titular heroine, stuck in a New York City orphanage run by the evil Miss Hannigan (played by Cameron Diaz). Jamie Foxx stars as wealthy politician Benjamin Stacks (the remake of Daddy Warbucks), who strikes up a public friendship with Annie in the name of good publicity.
This updated version, which is set to hit theaters on Dec. 19, puts a new spin on the original's beloved music, including auto-tuned pop versions of "Tomorrow" and "It's the Hard-Knock Life." The film is being directed by Will Gluck and produced by Jay-Z and Will Smith. Other cast members include Rose Byrne, Bobby Cannavale and Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje.
