Jane Fonda, Dolly Parton, and Lily Tomlin in 9 to 5
This article covers a developing story. Continue to check back with us as we will be adding more information as it becomes available. The Big Picture You'd better tumble out of bed and stumble to the kitchen because there's a new reimagining of 9 to 5 in the works. Jennifer Aniston is set to produce a new version of the 1980 workplace revenge comedy for 20th Century Studios. Variety reports that Diablo Cody is currently working on the film's script.
Aniston is set to produce the film with her Echo Films partner Kristin Hahn. Aniston has produced a number of her recent projects, including the coming-of-age dramedy Dumplin', the Apple series The Morning Show, and the Murder Mystery movies, in which she stars alongside Adam Sandler. As Aniston frequently stars in the projects she produces, it wouldn't be a surprise to see her take one of the lead roles in 9 to 5, as well.
What Is '9 to 5'? 9 to 5 follows Judy Bernly , Violet Newstead , and Doralee Rhodes , three put-upon and underappreciated office workers who are fed up with their sexist tyrant of a boss, Franklin Hart . The trio overcome their differences and join forces to turn the tables on Hart, with hilarious results. The film was directed by Harold and Maude screenwriter Colin Higgins, from a script by Higgins and Patricia Resnick .
The in-the-works reimagining won't be the only spin-off of the original film. A sitcom version of the movie premiered on ABC, starring Valerie Curtin, Rita Moreno, and Rachel Dennison in the roles originated by Fonda, Tomlin, and Parton; Dennison is Parton's younger sister. The show was cancelled after one season but was revived two years later in first-run syndication for two seasons, with Sally Struthers replacing Moreno.
Jennifer Aniston's 9 to 5 reimagining is in the works; no release date has yet been set. Stay tuned to Collider for future updates, and watch the theatrical trailer for the original 9 to 5 below.
