Story

Dolly Parton is excited about the possibility of being in the remake of the movie "9 to 5" with Jennifer Aniston. She hopes to join her original co-stars Lily Tomlin and Jane Fonda in the project. Aniston is producing the remake through her company, Echo Films, with screenwriter Diablo Cody working on the script. Parton mentioned that Aniston had shown interest in the movie during their work on "Dumplin'." She is enthusiastic about the remake and hopes her song will be used in it. However, Lily Tomlin, another original co-star, is not as keen on the idea. She expressed uncertainty about how a sequel would fit in today's world. In the original film, Parton, Fonda, and Tomlin play working women seeking revenge on their sexist boss. Parton's song "9 to 5" from the movie earned her an Oscar nomination and two Grammy awards. Parton also mentioned that Miley Cyrus could be a great fit for a role in the remake. Parton recently mourned the passing of one of her co-stars from the original film. She shared her memories of him and expressed her sadness at his loss. Additionally, Parton is set to release a new album later this year, exploring her family's musical history from the UK to the Great Smoky Mountains in Tennessee.
