Dolly Parton Expresses Interest in Joining Jennifer Aniston’s “9 to 5” Remake
Country music legend Dolly Parton has expressed her excitement at the possibility of being involved in the upcoming remake of the classic film “9 to 5,” alongside her original co-stars Lily Tomlin and Jane Fonda. In an interview with E! News, Parton shared her hopes that the remake would include her iconic song and that she, Tomlin, and Fonda could make a return to the project.
The news of the remake was first reported in April, with Jennifer Aniston set to produce the film through her production company, Echo Films, and Oscar-winning screenwriter Diablo Cody on board to write the script. Parton and Aniston have previously worked together on the 2018 Netflix film “Dumplin’,” where Aniston served as an executive producer and star, while Parton worked on the soundtrack.
When asked about who could potentially take on her role in the remake, Parton mentioned her goddaughter Miley Cyrus as a possible candidate, expressing enthusiasm at the idea. However, not all original cast members share the same excitement about the remake. Lily Tomlin, in an interview with People, expressed doubts about how the story would work in today’s work environment, citing changes in the way people work compared to the time of the original film.
Despite the mixed reactions from the original cast, the “9 to 5” remake continues to generate buzz and anticipation among fans of the classic film. Stay tuned for more updates on this highly-anticipated project.
