It's a family business with Will Smith ready to produce a remake of the musical movie, "Annie," starring his daughter Willow. At just 10 years old, Willow already had a music hit with "Whip My Hair."

Another remake in the Smith family starred Jaden with his dad in the classic from the 1980s, "The Karate Kid." Will also produced this successful movie which made over $350 million worldwide.

According to CNN, Willow Smith has previous acting experience in, "Kit Kittredge: An American Girl," "True Jackson, VP," "I Am Legend" and "Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa."

"Annie" originated as "Little Orphan Annie" in a 1920s comic strip. By 1977, "Annie" became a Broadway musical.

In 1982, the original movie "Annie" premiered starring Aileen Quinn, Albert Finney and Carol Burnett. The movie is about a little orphan girl's adventures trying to find a family to take her in.
