FIRST LOOK: The Trailer for the Remake of “Annie” is Here

It's a hard knock life...

Rebecca McKnight

It’s a hard knock life for Quvenzhané Wallis in the first look at the highly-anticipated remake of beloved musical Annie, due in cinemas this Christmas. 

Oscar-nominee Wallis takes over the title role in the new adaptation of the Broadway classic, playing a young child in a New York orphanage.

Originally left by her parents as a baby with the promise that they’d be back for her someday, she’s since been at the mercy of  mean foster mom Miss Hannigan (Cameron Diaz).

But everything’s about to change when the hard-nosed tycoon and New York mayoral candidate Will Stacks (Jamie Foxx) – advised by his brilliant VP, Grace (Rose Byrne) and his shrewd and scheming campaign advisor, Guy (Bobby Cannavale) – makes a thinly-veiled campaign move and takes her in.

Annie lands in cinemas on December 20th.
