Whoopi Goldberg Gives Update on 'Sister Act 3': 'It Will Be Here Soon' (Exclusive)

Whoopi Goldberg says 'Sister Act 3' -- produced by Tyler Perry -- is a work in progress but one that is finally coming together.

Talking with ET from Patti LaBelle's 80th birthday celebration in New York City on Thursday, The View co-host, 68, said that while most details are being kept under lock and key at this time, those who have been waiting 30 years since the last film came out will be happy to hear that things are happening behind the scenes. The legendary actress -- who starred as Deloris Van Cartier and her witness protection alter ego, Sister Mary Clarence -- in the 1992 original and its 1993 sequel -- added that after years of delays, she believes now is the right time to move it forward. Earlier this month, Goldberg shared an update on production for the third film, saying she recently offered Pope Francis -- who she said seemed to "be a bit of a fan" -- a cameo in the forthcoming movie.
