Will Smith, Jay-Z team to remake ‘Annie’
Overbrook
Entertainment partners, James Lassiter, Ken Stovitz, Jada Pinkett
Smith, and Will Smith, are partnering with Jay-Z to release movies.
One of the first
projects they’re discussing is a remake of the Broadway classic
‘Annie’, in which the Smiths’ daughter, Willow, 9, would star. Jay-Z
sampled the tune “It’s a Hard Knock Life,” from the ‘Annie’ musical, in
his hit ‘Hard Knock Live (Ghetto Anthem)’.
The film will be
developed with Sony Pictures Entertainment and produced by Overbrook
Entertainment and Jay-Z (real name: Shawn Carter).
Jada, Will,
Lassiter and Jay-Z decided to form the partnership over a recent
dinner. They also co-invested in beauty products line, Carol’s
Daughter, and co-produced the Broadway production of ‘Fela!’, which
earned 11 Tony Award nominations in 2010.
Willow Smith signed
onto Jay-Z’s record label, Roc Nation, which produced her first single
titled ‘Whip My Hair’, which has been certified Platinum.
“The time is right
to bring back ‘Annie’ to the big screen. Of course, we’re true
believers in Willow’s talent and believe she will be perfect in this
role. Combining Willow with the Overbrook team that reimagined ‘Karate
Kid’ and the spectacular Jay-Z makes this a dream project,” said
Columbia Pictures president, Doug Belgrad.
Jay-Z said in a
statement, “The Overbrook Entertainment family and I have a unified
vision. We’ve already produced a Tony Award winning play and we’re
developing a true superstar in Willow.”
Overbrook Entertainment has generated more than $2.5 billion in
revenue by producing some of Smith’s films like ‘Ali’, ‘Hitch’,
‘Pursuit of Happyness’, ‘I Am Legend’, and ‘The Karate Kid’.
