Annie is a young orphan living with her cruel foster mother Miss Hannigan at an orphanage for girls. Having been left on the doorstep as a baby, she has become determined to find out where her parents are to reunite with them. She makes an attempt to escape the hard knock life that is living at the orphanage and discover the location of her folks, but is soon brought back. Things take an unusually lucky turn for her when she is temporarily taken in to the luxurious household of billionaire Will Stacks over the Christmas holiday; though he struggles to connect with Annie, his assistant Grace agrees to help her look for her parents by putting out a generous reward offering for their discovery. However, with such a large sum of money on the table, it's bound to attract a few dishonest and unsavoury characters.

'Annie' is the third film re-boot of the classic tale based on the book of the stage play by Thomas Meehan, which in turn was originally based on the comic book 'Little Orphan Annie' by Harold Gray. Directed by Will Gluck ('Friends with Benefits', 'Easy A', 'Fired Up!') and co-written by Aline Brosh McKenna ('The Devil Wears Prada', '27 Dresses') and Emma Thompson ('Nanny McPhee', 'Sense and Sensibility'), the film is due to hit cinemas in February 2015.
