When Will Smith's ambitious remake of "Annie" was first announced in January of 2011, Smith's daughter Willow was attached to play the title little orphan. Cut to January of 2013, and Willow is off the project, which recently hired "Easy A" director Will Gluck to guide the production to the big screen. (Smith is producing "Annie" through his Overbrook Entertainment shingle.) When Gluck's involvement was announced last month, Deadline.com noted that "Annie" would go ahead without Willow in the lead role because the actress and singer, now 12, was too old to star. Unbeknownst to the trade, however, there was another reason.
