More cool news from Cool Town, you guys. From Variety:
In his latest keep-it-in-the-family move, Will Smith is exploring with Sony the potential for a remake of “Annie,” with daughter Willow as the star, sources say.
Smith, who developed “The Karate Kid” starring his son Jaden, would produce through his Overbrook shingle.
While details about the “Annie” retooling are still in development stages, rapper Jay-Z, who worked with Willow on her pop hit “Whip My Hair,” is in talks to collaborate on the music.
Verrrry neat. It’s especially cool that Will Smith is developing the project ($$$), will produce the project ($$$), and is planning to cast a minor over whose income he has full legal control ($$$). It’s just fun stuff. And Willow Smith would be a great new Annie! Especially if they modify the script so that instead of being an orphan she just starts off as a rich girl in a mansion and is just a rich girl in a mansion the whole time. I think a character like that would be someone Willow Smith could really breath some life into. Now the only question is who will play Carlton?! (Because The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air starring Jaden Smith Sr. was basically like Annie in a lot of ways if you think about it is what I’m saying. These guys get it.)

It’s a hard knock life indeed.
Even Annie can see this is a bad idea
It’s okay, I’m sure Will Smith will be paying for Willow’s pupil removal surgery. Then they’d look exactly the same!
Aw, man. That joke sounded much funnier in my head. Migraines, guys! #naptimegum
Is Annie Casper the Friendly Ghost in disguise? Like a translucent dead little boy’s body in a white ghost-onesie in an alive-girl outfit?
I can’t wait until the 3D movie about how Willow rose to fame despite everyone who said she couldn’t do it.
I have a friend whose name is also Willow Smith. Needless to say, it’s been a rough few months for her.
Coming from someone whose name is Brandon Walsh, I can say that it gets better.

This is just another example of Hollywood blackwashing ginger stories.

“WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS I HEAR ABOUT LITTLE ORPHAN ANNIE BEING BLACK?”
he apologized for slavery and THIS is all the motherfuckin’ thanks that he gets?
He is, in fact, the one who started all this mothafuckin’ ginger shit
Look at these monstas with attitude
What about those white supremacists who pretended to be a church or something so they could put out a statement about how a black dude in Thor really makes them lose their shit? They’re going to flip out the fucking window when they hear this.
Watch out Birdie! I hear Will is looking to re-make Benji starring Fido Smith.
I don’t care what you say. Fido Smith is talented.

ahem.
Might I nominate Donald Rumsfeld as Daddy Warbucks?
Awesome gif. I just wanted to say that, but as soon as I decided to write “Awesome gif” I thought “But if that is truly werttrew’s degree of rage, shouldn’t it be channeled towards some pursuit other than finding and relaying awesome gifs? Such as righting all the many wrongs in the world, or at least dying in the attempt, since that is the least he can do, given his massive rage?” I didn’t actually think that in those words, I don’t talk to myself in that way in my head, so don’t worry. The thought which immediately followed was, “Well, obviously it was a joke, he’s not that pissed off really, so why should he do any of that stuff? Sometimes you can just post a gif of some scrawly-head almost swearing without actually blowing your top yourself.” And now, after writing this, I’m like, “But still.”
The end of the story of my two-second chain of thoughts.
In a related story, DJ Jazzy Jeff’s daughter Courtney will be starring in a production of “Our Town” at the Central Des Moines Dinner Theater and Swap Shop this coming Thursday.
Courtney Jazzy Jeff?
Parents just don’t understand the phrase “conflict of interest”.
Maybe they whip their hair back and forth
I’ll whip my hair back and forth tomorrow
It’s only a day away.

I’d like to think that the Punjab character will be omitted from this version because we’re too enlightened to have a character that is just some sort of xenophobic Sikh stereotype, but the real reason he’ll be omitted is because Americans don’t know what a Sikh is and they think it’s not safe to have Muslims around your kids.

Oh hey, “Outsourced” is on tonight!
Especially cause dude was from Trinidad. #allbrowneverything, amirite?
Lemme guess: “Lil’ Orphan Annie”?
The sun will come out tomorrow (the days go by so fast the weeks are whipping back and forth)
Bet your bottom dollar that tomorrow (when it comes I hope I’ll find a mom and get my swag on)
There’ll be sun (I’ll be your daughter if you holler we’ll just keep on jumpin)
“and is planning to cast a minor over whose income he has full legal control ($$$)”
I believe it’s spelled minority.
it’s spelled “report”
Maybe it’s because one of my kindergarteners is a black girl who hates her skin color and is obsessed with Barbie, but I’m really happy to see that they’re trying to make a movie with a black, female heroine. It’s not like we have a plethora of those.
That being said, Will Smith still sounds like a nightmare of a human being who is clearly bent on exploiting his children for money he couldn’t possibly need.
you whip your plethora back and forth
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I’ve been Winwooded… and I like it!!!
Can Justin Beiber be in this too? Because that would make it PERFECT.
or do a remake of black swan with justin bieber and ellen page, ooh she looks like she’s kissing herself
I believe he’s already been cast as Mr. Pennybags.
WILLOW! Don’t be discouraged by these comments!
You ain’t doin nuthin wrong,
they can’t tell ya nuthin,
you just tryin’ tah have sum fun,
so keep tha party jumpin’
juss whip ur hurr
and shake em off (shake em off, shake em off, shake em off)
Gabe, I find your comparison between “Annie” and “Fresh Prince of Bel-Air” specious. Annie was an ORPHAN. Nobody loved her! The fictional Will Smith (and maybe the real one too; I’m not a professor of willsmithology) had a MOTHER who CARED about him! She cared so much that after ONE LITTLE FIGHT she got scared and sent him across the country to protect him.
The only thing worse than the sibling rivalry in that household has got to be the Wicked Wisdom in that household.
Yeah wise words such as, “if you have a cigar…use it for the look; don’t light it.”
I whip my nepotism back and forth.
Cool! Now I can read about Will Smith pranks on the set.
One can only wonder how Joe Mantegna’s daughter, whose big break was to be a statuette holder at last weeks Golden Globes, feels about all of this.
They cast him as “Carltonow”
What a cute girl….?
