Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin comment on 9 to 5 remake.
Earlier this year, it was announced that a"reimagining" of 9 to 5 is currently in the works at 20th Century Studios and Echo Films. This new version of the film is reportedly being written by Juno and Lisa Frankenstein scribe Diablo Cody with Friends alum Jennifer Aniston also signed on as a producer.
The original 9 to 5 was the second-highest-grossing film of 1980, earning over $100 million at the box office. The film's titular song, which was performed by Parton, was also a huge success. While Parton was unable to join Tomlin and Fonda at the event, she did make an appearance via a video link. This 9 to 5 remake won't be the first follow-up to the film, which also inspired a TV sitcom of the same name starring Rita Moreno and Valerie Curtin. In 2009, 9 to 5 also launched a stage musical, which featured new original songs from Parton.Barbie was the biggest hit of 2023, but the movie was almost very different. The project was originally going to star comedian Amy Schumer until she exited the project and a new creative team was brought on.
"I think I know why I sh*t the bed," Cody explained."When I was first hired for this, I don't think the culture had not embraced the femme or the bimbo as valid feminist archetypes yet. If you look up 'Barbie' on TikTok you'll find this wonderful subculture that celebrates the feminine, but in 2014, taking this skinny blonde white doll and making her into a heroine was a tall order.
