The 1980 film starring Parton, Jane Fonda, and Lily Tomlin will be re-released in theaters for one week with ticket proceeds benefiting the Dollywood Foundation<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
\n\tNext month, audiences across the country will be able to watch Dolly Parton<\/a> make her feature film debut all over again as 20th Century Studios re-releases 9 to 5 <\/em>in theaters. The 1980 comedy will return to the big screen for one week between Oct. 9 and 15.<\/p>\n \n\t9 to 5 <\/a><\/em>stars Parton alongside Jane Fonda<\/a> and Lily Tomlin as office workers looking to get some sweet revenge against their grating boss. Colin Higgins directed the film produced by Bruce Gilbert with a screenplay by Higgins and Patricia Resnick. <\/p>\n \n\tPrior to Parton\u2019s death in late August at the age of 80, the country icon revealed she and her co-stars were toying with ideas for a sequel for years, but \u201cit never happened,\u201d she told Huff Post<\/a><\/em>. In 2024, it was reported<\/a> that a remake of the movie was in the works under Jennifer Aniston\u2019s production company, though few updates on the project have been shared since.<\/p>\n \n\t\u201cWe have no plans to be in that,\u201d Parton said at the time. \u201cBut I do wish her the best, because the script I read, I thought, was really good and a new and different take that really brings the office up to date the way that people live now.\u201d Parton was at least open to the idea of providing some original songs for the film, or rewriting her accompanying hit single \u201c9 to 5\u201d for modern times. <\/p>\n
