In an interview with Variety, Lily Tomlin shared her views on actress Jennifer Aniston possibly producing the upcoming remake of Colin Higgins-directed comedy film 9 to 5. Tomlin said, “We hope she [Aniston] has great success."
The actress further noted that creating a remake will pose difficulties as the themes explored in the original movie have changed and evolved in the current times, saying, “It’s a hard nut to crack because the issues are somewhat different.”
The 84-year-old actress continued, “There’s still the undercurrent of the same kind of negativity towards females … [they’re] not easy-to-solve issues. So we’re very eager to see what they do."
Colin Higgins' comedy movie 9 to 5 (1980 film) boasts a stellar cast ensemble featuring Jane Fonda, Dolly Parton, Lily Tomlin, Dabney Coleman, Sterling Hayden, Elizabeth Wilson and more. The movie grossed $103.9 million at the box office and received critical acclaim for its unique plot.
