Posted: 2/24/13 at 3:05pmI'm happy about this. She was my first choice for the part after Willow left the film.

Posted: 2/24/13 at 3:56pmI knew she'd be cast as soon as Willow dropped out. Couldn't think of anyone better for the role, she'll be insanely adorable.

Posted: 2/24/13 at 4:50pmI would LOVE that. I think Octavia is a gem!

Posted: 2/24/13 at 5:37pmBesty, they really shouldn't be talking to anyone else but Octavia Spencer for Miss Hannigan. Is Beyonce playing Grace or will she just not be involved? Anika Noni Rose for Lily!

Posted: 2/24/13 at 5:40pmCan we get Cuba Gooding Jr. for Rooster? Heck, I know lots of the board isn't fans of hers, but Jennifer Hudson as Grace? Or is this not all-black?

Posted: 2/24/13 at 5:42pmI wouldn't mind them trying to turn this into an Oscar contender.

"but Jennifer Hudson as Grace?"
I actually thought that. She'd be great in that role.

Posted: 2/24/13 at 6:15pmshe has a sweeter and more warm quality to her than Beyonce does. She'd be a great Grace. LOVE Octavia as Hannigan idea. I just hope they don't cut too many of the original songs [they will probably only keep Maybe, Hard Knock, Tomorrow, Little Girls, Gonna Like It Here, Easy Street, Don't Need Anything But You] all others will probably be cut and placed with new tunes.

Maybe about 15 years ago, I think James Earl Jones would have made a great Daddy Warbucks..heck, I would love to see him in the role now...

#21Quvenzhane Wallis to Star in ANNIE Remake
Posted: 2/24/13 at 10:01pmMaybe this time they will not take a meat axe to the score
#22Quvenzhane Wallis to Star in ANNIE Remake
Posted: 2/27/13 at 3:21pmAileen Quinn should be Grace.
#23Quvenzhane Wallis to Star in ANNIE Remake
Posted: 2/27/13 at 4:05pmChandra Wilson would also be terrific as Hannigan. Brandy could play Grace.
