Jennifer Aniston and Diablo Cody are going to have to clock in a lot of hours to make a 9 to 5 reboot good. At least, that’s according to Lily Tomlin, who should know. The actress, who starred in the film’s original incarnation, is not convinced that a planned Aniston-produced reboot written by Cody can work. “It’s going to be tough to make [the movie] happen,” Tomlin told People. “My sympathies are with Jennifer and her writer Diablo, who is a good writer.” Don’t sound so positive, Lily! But Tomlin is speaking from beleaguered experience here. There was an attempted sequel for the film at one point with the original stars (Tomlin, Jane Fonda, and Dolly Parton) all potentially signing on. “The draft just didn’t work for us,” Tomlin says. “We couldn’t really see the work world today [in the pages]. People work from home. They take gig work. They don’t even know their boss. They’re at home!” Okay, that’s all true, but maybe there is still space for a bit of 9 to 5–esque fun with the “back to the office” movement. That’s real villainy.
