New York City, 2014. Ten-year-old Annie Bennett (Wallis) has been bounced around a whole bunch of foster homes but is currently living with tantrum-prone, alcoholic and irresponsible Miss Hannigan (Diaz.) Cell phone tycoon and mayoral candidate William Stacks (Foxx) pulls her out of the way of a moving car while she attempts to save a stray dog from a couple of bullies, and the footage of this goes viral. Stacks, desperately needing a boost in the polls, tracks down Annie on the advice of his political adviser Guy (Cannavale), and sends his assistant Grace Farrell (Byrne) to invite her to a lunch for publicity. Annie manages to convince Stacks that he'd get a bigger boost and more publicity opportunities if she moved in with him, and it works. Gradually, Annie grows on Stacks, and the relationship between them grows more genuine.

The new film has three new songs, a setting update, and a political subplot. Plus, pretty much every character that isn\'t Annie, Warbucks/Stacks, Hannigan and Grace Farrell are brand new. I think we can expect this to have enough of its own tropes to warrant its own page.
