Jay-Z will co-produce the motion picture remake of the classic musical, “Annie” along with Will Smith and Jada Pinkett-Smith.  For the first time, the popular, title character will be portrayed by a black actress, 9 year-old, Quvenzhane Wallis.  The forthcoming film will of course feature Jay-Z’s hit, “Hard Knock Life,” which samples the soundtrack song from the original production of “Annie.”  Carter also collaborated with the Smith’s in 2009 to produce the Broadway musical, “Fela!” in homage to West African Afrobeat creator, Fela Anikulapo-Kuti.
