The heroine of the film named Annie dates back to 1924. This is a comic strip character that was very popular in the USA. Their author was Harold Gray, and the character himself was a female counterpart of other strips where the main characters were boys. As a result, the plot with the orphan Annie was staged on Broadway first in 1977 and then in 2012. In addition, there are television versions. In 2011, Will Smith and singer Jay-Z talked about a film version. It was they who became one of the producers. For example, the actor's studio, which is called Overbrook Entertainment, is involved in the creation of the film. In 2013, Will Gluck was offered to sit in the director's chair of "Annie", to which he agreed. The creators of the film wanted to take Sandra Bullock for the role of Miss Hannigan. Only the actress refused, as she does not like musicals and swore not to act in them. But Justin Timberlake, whose name appeared more than once in the early stages of the film's production, could play the role of a candidate for the post of mayor. Will Smith's daughter was supposed to play the role of the main character. But in the end, she was recognized as older than the script required. When the hacker attack on the Sony company was carried out, the film was posted on the Internet three weeks before the scheduled premiere. However, it had absolutely no impact on the box office.
