Actress Sandra Bullock has reportedly turned down a role in the remake of the movie "Annie" for the second time.

Bullock was in talks to portray mean orphanage boss Miss Hannigan in the musical, but negotiations have fallen through, according to TheWrap.com, reports dailystar.co.uk.

The "Speed" star turned down the same role in March as well.

She is not the only actress who has refused to be a part of the remake. Will Smith's actress daughter Willow had previously been cast as Annie, but she too pulled out of the project earlier this year.

The project will be co-produced by Will Smith and rap mogul Jay-Z.
