The precociously fierce Willow Smith is playing the role of Annie in her father and Jay-Z's remake of the iconic musical, and the hair-whipping 10-year-old already has her dream Daddy Warbucks picked out. And the man Will and Jada Pinkett Smith's spawn deems worthy of playing her on-screen adopted father is none other than Brad Pitt, a real-life dad with six kids of his own.In an interview with Access Hollywood, Willow confessed that she wants the 47-year-old actor to "adopt her" in the upcoming remake. But that's all the tight-lipped 10-year-old would reveal. "We're just going to have to wait for that!" she said when asked to talk more about the musical. "You're just going to have to wait."
Deadline also reports that 'Glee's' Ryan Murphy just might be directing the film. In addition to 'Glee,' Murphy directed Julia Roberts' 'Eat Pray Love' and is reportedly being courted by Fox for a 'Rocky Horror Picture Show' remake, as well as to possibly turn the Broadway hit 'Wicked' into a film at Universal.

Huh that's gonna be a good bit of acting for a black girl to pull off being a red headed white girl. whats next? her brother playing the Karate kid???

I'm gathering that it's more of an adaptation than a remake, thus in this version the lead character will not be red-headed, seeing as she will be played by Willow Smith. Does anyone know if it's a similar script to the original or an all new script and music?
Hmmmm, is a black child/family getting too uppity for your liking, racist folks. Speaking derogatorily about a 10 year old child is pretty low. You are a dark hearted bunch...
Why does that kid always look like an angry, arrogant little hood? The little phony didn't grow up in the projects, so what's with the gangsta act?
Thank you Peg, my thoughts exactly. She's not fooling anyone with the street thug gangsta act. She's probably one of the most privileged kids in America. Willow, try smiling like it!
I know. Karate kid for the little boy, Annie for the little girl. Are these kids so sorely lacking in talent that they can't do something original?
This kid already thinks she is God's gift to the world. I would reign her in if I were the Smiths as I see nothing but trouble ahead for this very obnoxious 10 year old!

ditto!!!
What do u expect when the world has always been handed to u on a silver platter? She can whip that hair all she wants, but there's a few thousand other girls who can do it better...but, of course, Mommy and Daddy aren't in show biz and buying them an instant career.
AMEN!
They're die-hard Scientologists...they aren't going to rein anyone in. It's all about money, money, money. They stuck that little boy of theirs in that AWFUL Karate Kid movie (I mean, really, WTF??? Karate in CHINA? With Jackie Chan? Puh-leeeeze!!!! Talk about a page from the "All Asians Look Alike" book, and the "All Asian Cultures Are Interchangeable" fallacy!). I'm TIRED of untalented legacy "actors"--child or otherwise--getting a shot just because their parents are famous. I think the creative people need to get off their behinds and go out to the hinterlands and find some genuine, fresh, DIFFERENT, not pre-packaged, TALENT to revive a flagging entertainment industry. A little less "cookie cutter" and a bit more TALENT and people who look like humans as opposed to china-toothed, botoxed monsters!
Well said! I for one am already sick of her little face. I always liked Will Smith, but I don't know why he and his wife have to plaster his kids all over the place. Besides, why do we care what this little girl thinks. Maybe she needs to be in touch with the real world.
huh? what is she like eleven? who cares what willow smith wants? take it to disney people, this is an adult channel....

Does anyone want to see this annoying twit in a daddy-produced movie?
Nepotism allows the untalented and unlikable to have careers.
