Yes. The story will be set in modern-day New York and will feature music totally headed by Hip Hop mogul, Jay Z. This project is right up the rapper’s alley, being that he remastered the old “Annie” classic in “Hard Knock Life (Ghetto Anthem).”
Last year Willow told People magazine that she wanted Brad Pitt to be her adoptive father, “Daddy Warbucks.”
Filming will begin in 2013.
