‘Annie’ remake starts shooting on the streets of New York

They had a “hard knock” film shoot!

Stars of a new “Annie” movi🔥e, Jamie Foxx and Quvenzhané Wallis, practiced a scene in which they slam into each other — and the young actress falls to the grou💫nd — on the set of the movie in  Tribeca on Wednesday.

Foxx is playing a Daddy Warbucks-style character and Wallis — who was nominated fᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚor an Oscar for her performance in “ Beasts of the Southern Wild” — will tackle the role of Annie in a modern-day adaptation of the classic 1982 musical.

The flick, whic🦩h is set to hit th🦂eaters on Christmas day 2014, is produced by Will Smith and Jay-Z, who once used a tune from the musical for the chorus of his 1998 jam “Hard Knock Life (Ghetto Anthem).”

The movie won’🐟t stray far from the plot of the original stage musical, which op♐ened on Broadway in 1977.

In 1982, actor Albert Finney played Daddy Warbucks𝔍, child star Ail꧂een Quinn played Annie and Carol Burnett played Miss Hannigan.

Cameron Diaz will play Mis🐽s Hannigan in the new movie.

While filming in Tribeca, a stunt-double for Wallis toppled onto a matt after bumpin♋g in 𒆙to Foxx.

Wallis was also spotted riding a Citibiꦍke in  Harl💝em while filming the movie earlier this week.

Foxx’s character, Benjamin Stacks, is a new interpretation of thꦡe musicꦰal’s Daddy Warbucks character.
