Mackenzie Foy to Star in 'Black Beauty' Remake

Mackenzie Foy is taking on the remake of an iconic story!

The 18-year-old actress has signed on to star in the Black Beauty remake – based on the children’s classic by Anna Sewell – alongside Kate Winslet.

Mackenzie will be playing a 17-year-old girl who bonds with Black Beauty to help overcome the death of her parents. Kate will be voicing Black Beauty’s inner thoughts.

Adolescence director Ashley Avis will be directing the reboot while also adapting the new screenplay.

The one major change in this version is that Black Beauty will be a wild mustang captured on the Wyoming Plains instead of being a carriage horse like in the book.
