One of my favorite comedies I wonder if this will happen?
Fonda Wanted for 'Nine to Five' Sequel
Actress Jane Fonda is in negotiations to reprise her role in a sequel to the hit 1980 movie Nine To Five. Movie bosses are impressed by Fonda's return to the big screen in Monster-in-Law - in which she battles Jennifer Lopez over her doted-upon son, played by Michael Vartan. And they are keen to sign Fonda up for a follow-up to the office comedy, in which she starred alongside Dolly Parton and Lily Tomlin - because the other two leads have been ready and willing for some time. A source tells website The Scoop, "They've wanted to for years. There's been scripts, potential directors, the works, but everyone thought that for it to really work, they'd need the three leads from the original film. They've talked to Fonda and think they can make this happen. There's some discussion that it might be called Nine To Five Thirty." Fonda's spokeswoman Pat Kingsley, however, insists nothing has been agreed. She says, "There have been no serious conversations about that or any other film project at this time."

A defibrilation would be more like it. And in this case original writer Colin Higgins has been dead for over 15 years, so we can't get his input on the matter.

I liked the original 9 to 5, but I think it's too late to make a sequel. Jane Fonda's face looks way older than Dolly Parton's now. I saw her in Monster-in-law...maybe it was the big screen but her face looked really old. Nine to five thirty..... Posted by Jessie the Sunflower Goddess (Member # 1877) on :
Well ladies it is 25 years later so they are all going to look older. But plastic surgery has helped Dolly try to look exactly like she did 25 years ago. Hence the title should maybe be Graveyard Shift? hahahaha

I'm a major fan of Dabney Coleman (Nobody can play a sleaze better than he can), but I don't know if he'd be up for a sequel. After all, he's 75 years old.
Then again, he will be co-starring in that new Tony Scott flick "Domino", so anything's possible.
