Sandra Bullock Will (Now) Not Be Miss Hannigan In ‘Annie’

Sandra BullockSandra Bullock does not fancy kicking some orphans around after all as it was revealed that she has turned down a role to be Miss Hannigan in the reboot of ANNIE. If you have been living under a rock for the last 30 years, ANNIE is a musical based on the comic strip LITTLE ORPHAN ANNIE. It follows a young orphan girl as she sets out to find a family.

The remake, which is being produced by Will Smith and Jay Z, was eyeing up Sandra Bullock to play the infamous alcoholic caretaker of the orphanage, but it looks like the deals went flat and never made it out of negotiations. It is unclear on who the studio are looking for next.

Even though they don’t have Bullock, they still have BEASTS OF THE SOUTHERN WILD’s Quvenzhané Wallis. She is set to play Annie after Will Smith’s daughter Willow dropped out. Jamie Foxx and Brit Samantha Mumba (REMEMBER HER?!) is also rumoured to be in the film.

    I think this was a publicity stunt to promote her new movie, she had no intention of doing the part or maybe she realised people were not happy about her taking that part on and ruining it.

    That’s a shame. It would have been a welcome change to see her in something else than her perpetual rom-com syrupy stuff, though musicals are far from being my cup of tea either.
