The youngest actress to ever be nominated for Best Actress at the Academy Awards, Quvenzhane Wallis, will now star in the new movie remake of the little orphan named Annie. Previously it was announced that Willow Smith, daughter of Will Smith and Jada Pinkett-Smith, would play the role but it looks like she’s gotten a little too grown up for the part maybe? The Smiths and Jay-Z, who also had a hand in producing the musical Fela!, will produce this movie musical. This is a terrific follow-up role from her Oscar-nominated performance in the movie Beasts of the Southern Wild. She is one to look out for. She’s making history and it probably won’t stop here.
