Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin Weigh In on Jennifer Aniston’s '9 to 5' Remake

Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin weighed in on the news that Jennifer Aniston’s production company is currently developing a reimagining of '9 to 5'

Jennifer AnistonJeff Kravitz/FilmMagicThe original 9 to 5 film followed Judy (Fonda), Violet (Lily) and Doralee (Dolly Parton) as they live out their fantasies of getting even with and overthrowing their company’s sexist and bigot boss, who was played by the late Dabney Coleman. “I was developing it as a dark comedy and I heard Lily Tomlin is in downtown L.A. doing a one-woman show, called ‘Appearing Nightly,’ and I went by myself and I was just knocked off my feet. “Personally, I have been waiting for a 9 to 5 reunion ever since we did the first one,” Parton said from the podium before Fonda replied, “Back in 1980, in that movie, we refused to be controlled by a sexist, egotistical, lying, hypocritical bigot.”
