Speaking of "Precious," Mo'Nique can reprise her Oscar-winning role in place of the Miss Hannigan character.

Will Smith and his family just need to go away, a long way away...
Well I didn't want to get into it, but he's a Satanist.
Every full moon he sacrifices 4 puppies to the Dark Lord and smears their blood on his paino.
This should help you understand the score for Wicked a little bit more.

OKAY...
Don't immediately dismiss this... but
The world does NOT need yet another Annie movie. An African-American version will not be something new, interesting or enjoyable. After all this time, it seems to be the sloppiest of seconds.
Will Smith should have kept his ears and eyes open for newer projects. (Can you guess what I'm going to suggest....?)
Yup. Matilda the Musical.
You know *someone* is gonna make the movie version. Why does the cast need to be Caucasian?

"How can you go from a NICELY-MADE, TRUE-TO-THE-MUSICAL, OSCAR-WINNING ADAPTION (Les Miserables) to a HORRIBLY, CHEAP, REWRITTEN REMAKE like this? Especially if this is one of the MOST BELOVED musicals of all time?!"
How do you know this is going to be cheap or.. "horribly"?
LOL casting black Academy Award winning or nominated actors in a re-imaging of a musical! WHO ARE THEY GONNA GET NEXT, TYLER PERRY? Shalanaqua from the weave store? I MEAN OBVIOUSLY BECAUSE THEY WANT TO DESECRATE THE SACRED TEXT THAT IS ANNIE.

^ Even more so when you hear that Sondheim saw it four times and loved it.

Bitch, that avatar made me cackle.
And I love the idea of RuPaul as Grace. She can teach Annie about charisma, uniqueness, nerve and talent.

Just asking--How can this Annie have red hair?
#41
Posted: 4/30/13 at 12:00am
I had to google that--a flavoured powder that you mix with water-and presumedly apply to hair--a different colour every day !!

It's a double entendre that might not play outside of America: Kool-Aid is both a fruity drink that can be used as "poor man's hair dye," but also a stereotypical drink associated with poor blacks because it's the cheapest thing on the market, being only a few cents for a full pitcher's worth.

You guys are just so funny. Do you think Annie should drink a lot of grape soda and play dice on the street, too? Should her teeth be white or should she have a grill? Will Sandy be a pit bull she fights for cash? What other stereotypes would you like to see in the movie?

Will Grace actually be peddling beauty products, from the salon?
#45

Rihanna had red hair. Though chances are Annie's hair will be like Nicki Minaj. You know, like for the 21st century

New subplot Grace is running from her sugar daddy. Oh wait.....

You've got it all a..up--Grace is running AFTER her sugar daddy.

We are making this new Annie out to sound like it was written by the guy in "Bamboozled." If this production is ANYWHERE near as stereotypical as we're making it out to sound, it'll have songs like:
You're Never Fully Dressed Without A Grill
Little Hoes
We'd Like To Thank You, Colonel Sanders
Compton Street
B.E.T.
I Don't Need Anything But Booze
Starring Tracy Morgan as Annie, Jamie Foxx as Big Poppa, Snoop Lion as Punjab, and Donald Glover as Miss Hannigan in drag, with Don Cheadle and Nicki Minaj as her fellow villains.
It will be so terribly offensive and wrong-headed that it will literally move back in time and prevent Obama from ever having been president and rob Halle Berry of her Oscar. It will be the "Springtime for Hitler" of musical theatre. The space-time continuum of civil rights will be so wibbly-wobbly that Aunt Jemima and Uncle Ben will miraculously appear back on their grocery items.
ORRRRR... maybe it'll just be an urban take on the tropes of the Little Orphan Annie story, with minimal connection to the musical we love, just a franchise reboot overall.

This is gonna be awesome - let's hope they keep any Broadway people out of it. A film is a film. Theatre is Theatre.
