Jennifer Aniston producing “9 to 5” remake with Oscar-winning “Juno” writer

Diablo Cody will write the script for Aniston's reimagining of the Jane Fonda, Dolly Parton, and Lily Tomlin classic.

Jennifer Aniston has found a new way to make a living by producing a remake of the Jane Fonda, Dolly Parton, and Lily Tomlin movie classic 9 to 5.

Entertainment Weekly has confirmed that the Morning Show and Friends star's Echo Films production company will partner with 20th Century Studios for the upcoming reimagining of the 1980 film, which followed a trio of working women who band together to get revenge on their sexist boss (played by Dabney Coleman).

The InSneider was first to report the news, also revealing that Oscar-winning Juno screenwriter Diablo Cody is working on a draft of the 9 to 5 remake script.

Following its initial release in 1980, 9 to 5 became a commercial and critical hit, and its feminist themes cemented it as a pop culture staple for decades to come. The film grossed $104 million at the box office at the time, and spawned both a Rita Moreno-starring sitcom that ran for five seasons throughout the 1980s as well as a 2009 Broadway musical based on the story.

Aniston's Echo Films has produced several high-profile projects across the last decade, including her Adam Sandler sequel Murder Mystery 2, Dumplin', and 2014's Cake, perhaps Aniston's most critically lauded performance to date that led to Best Actress nominations at the Golden Globes, Screen Actors Guild Awards, and Critics Choice Awards that year.

A release date and casting details for Aniston's 9 to 5 remake have yet to be announced.
