SHADOW AND ACT: Jamie Fox will be Daddy Warbucks Variation opposite Quvenzhané Wallis in Annie
Jamie Foxx is instead in talks to play, not Daddy Warbucks, but a variation of the character named Benjamin Stacks. Will Gluck is directing the project, based on a script he revised, originally written by Emma Thompson and Aline Brosh McKenna.As we previously noted, in the original Annie story, Daddy Warbucks is supposed to be an older gentleman; someone in his 50s, who also happens to be filthy rich, and is bald.Obviously the film’s producers are taking some creative liberties with the story, and aren’t married to the source material, starting with the character’s name change. Although we weren’t expecting the Daddy Warbucks character would be played by a black actor, so this is a bit of a surprise.MORE
Alright. Got two great actors. Hope that script nice and tight!

Must…get to…Quvenzhane…before…Tyler…Perry…does…
It’s true tho! Bless the Smiths in advance and shield her from the evil of kids’ cable networks, Amen. She’s too critically acclaimed and in demand for him to pay her in peanuts now anyway. She didn’t graduate from the “Good Times” School of Loud Talking and she doesn’t have suffering middle-aged black woman written on her face so I doubt he notices her that much. It’s funny how only kids ever advance from his claws though. Real talk, most of the adults only get work through him.
No Good Times slander.
may he never get his claws into her.
