Let’s talk about Jennifer Aniston, because honestly, she’s got something big brewing. Jen is absolutely thrilled to reboot the iconic film 9 to 5, and this time, she’s not just acting—she’s producing and possibly directing. This is a huge deal for her, and it’s not just about the money. It’s about diving into a project that’s deeply personal, one that’s close to her heart since she was a little kid.
Why '9 to 5' Matters to Jennifer Aniston
Here’s the thing: 9 to 5 wasn’t just some random movie for Jen. A source close to her business team tells me this film captured her imagination in a way that few others have. When she was growing up, it showed her what it meant to fight against the status quo, and honestly, it probably turned her off from ever wanting to work in an office. Fast forward to today, and Jen is now a powerhouse producer and a serious businesswoman. She’s ready to take on this project that meant so much to her back then—and still does now.

A Journey Through Her Career
Now, keep this in mind: over a decade ago, Jen made Horrible Bosses because it reminded her so much of 9 to 5. That film was like a modern twist on the classic story, albeit with a male-centric focus. Her movie Office Christmas Party also had some serious echoes of 9 to 5. But this time, Jen is aiming for something different. Think about what Jake Gyllenhaal did with the Road House remake for Amazon: he updated it while paying homage to the original. That’s exactly what Jen wants to do here. She wants both versions to coexist, so we can watch them back-to-back and create a fun movie night experience.
A Deeply Personal Project
This isn’t just a job for Jen—it’s personal. At the heart of it all is her lifelong admiration for Dolly Parton. They’ve met before, and they’ve always wanted to collaborate, but they just never found the right project. This time, Jen is making sure Dolly is involved. Not only that, but she’s ensuring Dolly’s iconic theme song gets a fresh, massive boost. This reboot isn’t just about reviving a classic; it’s about celebrating the legacy of two extraordinary women who’ve left an indelible mark on entertainment.
Connecting with Dolly Parton
Jen sat down with Dolly Parton for an interview on Good Morning America back in December 2018, and it was magical. During the interview, Jen, who’s known for her role on Friends, asked the legendary country songstress which song she gets asked to sing the most. Jen was thrilled by Dolly’s answer. “If I walk into a room, people will say, ‘Well, let’s sing 9 to 5,’ because everyone knows that one,” Dolly shared. But her favorite song? That would be “Coat of Many Colors.” For Dolly, it’s the most personal song because it’s about the values her parents taught her—that you don’t need money to be rich in life.
