"Annie" 2013

We are 3/4's of the way through shooting a new version of the musical "Annie".  Am working with the wonderful designer Renee Ehrlich Kalfus and having a great time juggling gritty and luxe looks while updating this beloved musical.  It has been terrific to have NYC as a back drop and the talent attached to this film have been extraordinary.

Cameron Diaz started her portion of the filming a week ago and the Paparazzi have set up embankments watching her every move.  This is the first film I've worked on where I've seen video takes posted online (by folks not associated with the movie).

Here's a little fun press link on Cameron's "Ms. Hannigan" look and first week on the job.  FYI: those "local youngsters" are the girls playing Annie's foster sisters in the movie:
