About Annie

Annie is a 2014 American musical comedy drama film directed by Will Gluck, from a screenplay he co-wrote with Aline Brosh McKenna. Produced by Village Roadshow Pictures, Overbrook Entertainment, Marcy Media Films, and Olive Bridge Entertainment, and distributed by Sony Pictures Releasing through its Columbia Pictures label, it is a contemporary film adaptation of Charles Strouse, Martin Charnin, and Thomas Meehan's 1977 Broadway musical of the same name. The film shifts the setting from the Great Depression to the present day and is the second remake and the third film adaptation of the musical, following the 1982 theatrical film starring Carol Burnett and Albert Finney, and the 1999 television film starring Kathy Bates and Victor Garber. The revival film stars Quvenzhané Wallis in the title role, alongside Jamie Foxx, Rose Byrne, Bobby Cannavale, and Cameron Diaz. Annie began production in August 2013 and, following its premiere at the Ziegfeld Theatre in New York City on December 7, 2014, it was released theatrically in the United States on December 19, 2014.
