I am not looking forward to this one at all. I don't really think that a third film version of Annie is necessary. The cast sounds like a talented group, but I don't see the story working all that well in a modern setting and I am leery of updating the score. Benjamin Stacks is very clever pun though, and definitely works better in modern times than than the dated pun Oliver Warbucks in the here and now.
I can't wait to see how they film the Occupy Wall Street crowd rioting at Benjamin Stacks' mansion. Oh wait, I bet it won't be that realistic.
If anyone ever tells you that you put too much Parmesan cheese on your pasta, stop talking to them. You don't need that kind of negativity in your life.
I really don't see why people are freaking out about these changes. There hasn't even been a freakin trailer yet. I'm not completely thrilled on some of the casting but I really am excited to see a modern day Annie. Where is Besty when you need him?!
Do I even want to know what Warbucks does to Annie in this version? And out on the 1980s streets of New York, no less. What's the age rating going to be for this?

To me, the "orphans" look like a Gap Kids ad. The stuffed dog...I am speechless. I hated the 1982 film.....ok...hated is too strong I suppose. I was disappointed. I cannot even think about seeing this thing.
Ever heard of props? I can imagine the scene where Annie calls Sandy a few times and he does not listen/stands still is easier to film this way from over shoulder, a real dog would run to her every time she calls him. You won't notice it's a prop in the final product. We probably only see a blurred ear in the corner of the screen.
