Keke Palmer Should Star in the 9 to 5 Remake
If there’s one thing the movie is going to need, it’s charisma.
Palmer is currently promoting her own film, One of Them Days, in which she plays Dreux, a beleaguered Los Angeles resident trying to get ahead in work, and in life, even while the systems of oppression try to force her and her best friend/partner in crime (SZA) down. She’s always had a facility with playing characters striving to get ahead, even from her time as a child star in Akeelah and the Bee, and 9 to 5 needs the kind of down-to-earth relatability that Palmer has experience exuding onscreen. In his review of 9 to 5, some 45 years ago Roger Ebert said of Dolly Parton that, “she contains so much energy, so much life and unstudied natural exuberance that watching her do anything in this movie is a pleasure.” Baby, that’s Keke Palmer.
