Emma Thompson has said she is "so excited" about the modern version of Annie she is writing for Willow Smith.
The Nanny McPhee star confirmed rumours she has written a new version of the classic musical for Will Smith to produce and his daughter to star in, and that rapper Jay-Z is writing the musical score.
Emma said: "I'm writing a modern version of Annie for Willow to play, which I'm so excited about because Jay-Z is going to do the music - Oh my God I'm so modern! So I am very thrilled about that."
The British actress stars with Will in Men In Black 3 as Agent O, head of the MIB. She revealed she was asked to play the role as she and Will are such good friends.
Emma said: "I know Will from before because I did a little bit on I Am Legend and I got on very well with him and I love his manager too."
The Oscar-winning actress has already written the screenplays for Sense And Sensibility and the Nanny McPhee films.
Jay-Z previously sampled one of the signature songs from the original Annie for Hard Knock Life (Ghetto Anthem).
