Jennifer Aniston is reportedly taking steps to bring fresh talent on board for a remake of the classic movie 9 to 5. Among her top picks for the project are Zendaya, Ariana Grande, and Sydney Sweeney.
According to a source quoted by Life & Style magazine, Aniston is working with a strong script and is focused on casting actresses who excel in comedy and can also attract their own fan bases to the film. This strategic approach underscores her commitment to making the project a success.
However, scheduling conflicts may pose a challenge. The source noted that all three stars have busy schedules, with Sydney and Zendaya already booked for the next 12 months. Despite this, Aniston is determined to begin production next year if possible.
At present, the 9 to 5 remake has not received the green light from Disney-owned Twentieth Century Studios. Nonetheless, insiders reveal that Aniston’s immediate priority is securing a commitment from one of these actresses, which would solidify her vision and help build momentum for the film.
In a conversation with Closer, another source revealed that 9 to 5 holds a special place in Aniston’s heart, as the original movie had a profound impact on her as a child. “This movie changed her life, and now, 40 years later, she’s ready to bring it back to life as a producer,” the insider shared.
“She’s finally ready to tackle this material that meant so much to her back in the day,” the source added, highlighting Aniston’s passion for the project.
Fans eagerly await updates on this exciting remake and the possibility of seeing Aniston’s dream cast come together on the big screen.
