The Oscars' youngest Best Actress nominee Quvenzhane Wallis is reportedly in talks to replace Willow Smith as the star of the upcoming Annie movie musical.
The nine-year-old "Beasts of the Southern Wild" star has emerged as a frontrunner for the big screen remake of the Broadway show, according to Entertainment Weekly.

Director Will Gluck and producers at Will Smith's Overbrook Entertainment banner and Jay-Z's Marcy Media have yet to make any firm casting decisions, but insiders suggest Wallis is a big hit.
Smith's 12-year-old daughter quit the project last month and her father recently said, "Willow was supposed to be doing 'Annie,' we got Jay-Z to do the movie, go the studio to come in and Willow had such a difficult time on tour with 'Whip My Hair' and she said, 'You know Daddy, I don't think so ... I have a better idea, how about I just be 12.'"
