Jennifer Aniston is looking to produce her next film alongside her Echo Films Partner Kristin Hahn.
The two will be producing “9 to 5” for 20th Century Studios, which is currently in development.
The movie is going to be penned alongside Diablo Cody (“Juno,” “Lisa Frankenstein”) working on the latest draft of the “9 to 5” reimagining. Plot details are being kept under wraps.
The original film follows three female office colleagues who wish to get their revenge on their sexist boss.
The original cast includes Jane Fonda, Lily Tomlin, Dolly Parton and Dabney Coleman in the 1980 office satire, directed by Colin Higgins and written by Patricia Resnick.
The hit comedy film spawned a sitcom of the same name, which aired on ABC from 1982 to 1983, and in first-run syndication from 1986 to 1988. Parton, Tomlin and Fonda participated in the 2022 documentary “Still Working 9 to 5,” which focuses on the impact of the classic film 40 years later.
Parton also wrote the music and lyrics for the Tony-nominated musical adaptation of the same name, many of which know the popular tune.
