Willow Smith to star in 'Annie' remake?

Is Willow Smith getting ready to whip curly red hair back and forth? Count on it, if her dad Will Smith gets his way.

The superstar is reportedly looking to redo the popular musical "Annie" with his 10-year-old daughter in the lead, reports Variety.

Willow's previous acting experience includes roles in "I Am Legend," "Kit Kittredge: An American Girl," "Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa" and "True Jackson, VP" - not to mention that she also has a hit record with last year's single "Whip My Hair."


Reps for the project wouldn't confirm whether the new "Annie" would be set in contemporary times and include original songs, although it's rumored that Jay-Z is working on the music (his 1998 tune "Hard Knock Life" included a chorus from the musical).

This isn't the first time Will has produced movies for his kids. He developed last year's "The Karate Kid" remake for his son Jaden.
