Emma Thompson pens Annie script for Willow Smith Emma Thompson has confirmed she is writing a new, modern version of the musical Annie. Will Smith is producing the movie as a vehicle to star his 11-year-old daughter Willow Smith, while Jay-Z is in charge of the music and will write new tracks for the musical. "I think it's a very good combination," Emma Thompson said. "We're looking for directors so the management will come up with a director in the next week or two weeks." Last year Glee creator Ryan Murphy was rumoured to be in the frame as a possible director. "Then I'll do some work with them and we're hoping to shoot next year, so I'm very excited," she added. Modern Annie The most enduring vision of Annie comes from the 1982 film version that starred Albert Finney as Daddy Warbucks and Aileen Quinn as the young orphan from the title. Emma Thompson confirmed again that Willow Smith was set to play a new Annie when filming starts in 2013 before adding "that's if she doesn't get too tall". The film will be set in modern-day New York with a selection of new songs added. "That was what was so great about it," Thompson said. "Some songs nobody liked so I ditched them." She couldn't remember the names of the axed songs but when asked if Tomorrow was safe, Thompson said "that's in, weirdly". Thompson stars alongside Will Smith in Men in Black 3 but the pair met on an earlier film project. "I know Will from before because I did a little bit on I Am Legend with him and we got on very well." The Oscar-winning actress and screenwriter did joke that she was "so modern" to be working with Jay-Z and the Smith family. "I hope you like it, it should be really really great," she ended. http://www.bbc.co.uk/newsbeat/18098749

Will Smith: Willow crushed me with parenting snub Will Smith was "crushed" when his 11-year-old daughter called him "irresponsible" for losing her cats. The Hollywood star has Willow and 13-year-old son Jaden with his wife Jada Pinkett Smith. Both the kids are in the entertainment business, with Will admitting Willow needs more guidance than his son. "Girls are different. With girls you have to listen to what they say. 90 per cent of my parenting time is with Willow," he told UK TV show Lorraine. "She has cats and I accidentally left the window open and she couldn't find her cats. She comes up to me and says, 'Daddy, did you leave the window open in the library?' and I said, 'Yes sweetie, I'm sorry.' And she said, 'I cannot believe you'd be so irresponsible!' I was crushed, I was devastated. I was like, 'We'll find your cats baby!' I was on the phone, 'I need people to? call the president, get some helicopters to find Willow's cats!'" The pets were eventually found safe and well, much to Will's delight. There have been rumours that US President Barack Obama wants Will to play him should a movie ever be created about his life. Will jokingly says the reason for that is they both have silky smooth ears. "Yeah. It's just about the ears, we both got the ears," he said, inviting the interviewer to stroke them. "It's like voodoo! I just put voodoo on you with my ears. You'll be waking up [shouting], 'Will Smith!' in the middle of the night." http://www.belfastte...b-16160060.html

MIB Hearts NYC on Wednesday May 23 With a Series of Events Throughout the City Culminating in Film Premiere More detailes here, including DJ Jazzy Jeff and Trey Smith spinning throughout the night!

MIB Hearts NYC on Wednesday May 23 With a Series of Events Throughout the City Culminating in Film Premiere CULVER CITY, Calif., May 16, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- To celebrate the nationwide release of the action adventure comedy Men In Black™ 3, Wednesday, May 23 will be MIB Hearts NYC Day in New York City, with a special series of events culminating in the premiere of the film in the evening. Men In Black 3 will be released in theaters on Friday, May 25, 2012. Men In Black 3 was filmed on location in the New York area – the only film in the series to have the majority of the production based in New York. The day will kick off live on "Good Morning America" from the Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum with the cast of Men In Black 3 celebrating the film and the start of Fleet Week. Mayor Bloomberg is expected to attend and to proclaim Wednesday, May 23 to be MIB Hearts NYC Day in the city. MIB Hearts NYC Day will then continue as Men In Black 3 rings The NASDAQ Stock Market Opening Bell from the NASDAQ MarketSite in Times Square. Throughout the day, MIB Agents will descend upon key NYC locations, including Grand Central Terminal, Times Square, and the Chrysler Building. When people spot the agents, they can take a photo with the Instagram app and hashtag it #MIBHEARTSNYC and post that photo to Twitter. Some participants may be invited to the premiere that night in NYC. There will be MIB Hearts NYC events at the Museum of the Moving Image, where the exhibit "Aliens, Gadgets, and Guns: Designing the World of Men In Black 3," featuring over 25 alien masks and props from the film, is now on display and where the first MIB film will be screened; at various children's museums, which will feature MIB craft activities and screenings of the first film; and at Sony Wonder Technology Lab, which will be offering a variety of fun activities, including an alien slime making workshop, a "special agent" photo opportunity, and the chance to check out real one-of-a-kind props from the film. In addition, On Location Tours will offer fans the chance to follow in the footsteps of Agents J and K, passing by MIB headquarters and other locations from all three Men in Black films on the signature New York TV & Movie Sites tour. Moviegoers who need a snack can stop by Baskin-Robbins and Dunkin' Donuts to try one of several Men In Black 3 inspired menu items, served up by employees wearing MIB Hearts NYC pins. Throughout the month of May, Baskin-Robbins is celebrating Men In Black 3 with Lunar Cheesecake ice cream, plus Lunar Lander and Agent 31 sundaes, while Dunkin' Donuts is serving up out of this world Black Cocoa Creme Iced Coffee and new Undercover Black Cocoa and Chocolate Lunarmax Donuts. The day concludes with the premiere of the film at the Ziegfeld Theatre, where the film will screen for 1150 invited guests. Simultaneously, at the AMC 42nd Street theaters, the film will screen for another 1500 people, including 500 first responders and active military. Following the screenings, 2500 guests will attend the after-party at the Intrepid Air, Sea & Space Museum. For the festivities, Fireworks by Grucci has been generously donated in honor of our nation's military by the Generoso Pope Foundation, and following the display, Pitbull, whose single "Back In Time" is featured in Men In Black 3, will perform from the flight deck. In addition, DJ Jazzy Jeff and Trey Smith will be spinning throughout the night. "New York City is home to 130,000 Film and Television jobs and there are few that compare in size and scope to Men in Black 3," said NYC Mayor's Office of Media & Entertainment Katherine Oliver. "MIB3 turned 2012 Cobble Hill, Carrol Gardens and so many other parts of the City back in time and employed hundreds and hundreds of people. The Mayor and I are so proud that it was Made in NY." In Men In Black™ 3, Agents J (Will Smith) and K (Tommy Lee Jones) are back... in time. J has seen some inexplicable things in his 15 years with the Men in Black, but nothing, not even aliens, perplexes him as much as his wry, reticent partner. But when K's life and the fate of the planet are put at stake, Agent J will have to travel back in time to put things right. J discovers that there are secrets to the universe that K never told him — secrets that will reveal themselves as he teams up with the young Agent K (Josh Brolin) to save his partner, the agency, and the future of humankind. Barry Sonnenfeld directs the film. The film's screenplay is written by Etan Cohen, based on the Malibu Comic by Lowell Cunningham. Walter F. Parkes and Laurie MacDonald produce, and Steven Spielberg and G. Mac Brown are the executive producers. http://www.prnewswir...-151682305.html
