Country music icon Dolly Parton said that she’s always wanted to see a remake of the 1980s comedy classic 9 to 5. However, she doesn’t plan to star in the upcoming movie starring Jennifer Aniston.
In the original, the country music icon starred as Doralee Rhodes, alongside Lily Tomlin as Violet Newstead and Jane Fonda as Judy Bernly. “Jane, Lily and I have been trying for years to try to come up with a 9 to 5: Two through the years,” Parton told HuffPost, reports people.com.
She added: “It never happened.” Now, over four decades later, a remake may actually be in the works courtesy Aniston.
Despite Aniston wanting to include all three of the original actresses in the film’s remake, Parton told the HuffPost that she’s not sure that is going to happen.
The Jolene hitmaker said: “We have no plans to be in that. But I do wish her the best, because the script I read, I thought, was really good and a new and different take that really brings the office up to date the way that people live now.” “But I think a lot of it is that, you know, we’re all older now,” Parton told the outlet. She added: “We’re not gonna look that good on the big screen. All of us up there with all those beautiful, young, fresh people … so I don’t know.” (IANS)
