On Thursday, it was confirmed by Entertainment Weekly that Jennifer Aniston’s Echo Films production company will partner with 20th
Century Studios for a remake of “9 to 5,” with Diablo Cody (“Juno,” “Jennifer’s Body”) attached to write the script. And although casting
details and a release date were not included in the confirmation, fans of the original are already weighing-in with excitement or, in some cases, apprehension, and their picks for who should take on the three iconic lead roles — all big shoes to fill.
Out Magazine responded to the news of Aniston and Cody’s project with a list of queer actors they’d like to see stirring up some Skinny & Sweet, with Sarah Paulson, Tessa Thompson, Niecy Nash and Abbi Jacobson among their top picks. My vote would be for Lizzy Caplan, and not just because she’d look great in that Snow White costume. But also, yeah, because of that.
