Diablo Cody's 9 to 5 Remake: A Modern Workplace Conflict
Remaking Dolly Parton's legendary 1980 comedy, 9 to 5, presents a fresh challenge for Diablo Cody, the screenwriter behind Movies including Juno and Jennifer's Body. Cody is turning the emphasis from the original movie, which concentrated on sexism in the workplace, to a more modern struggle between Generation Z and Boomers.
An Other View on Office Dynamics
Cody sees a special chance to investigate how workplace dynamics have changed during the past forty years. Violet, a long-time employee who devotes herself to her work, was shown in the first movie but suffers prejudice and contempt from her boss, Franklin M. Hart Jr., portrayed by Dabney Coleman. Viewing this situation through a generational perspective, Violet speaks for a generation that might have embraced particular workplace rules that younger generations are now questioning.
Examining the Changing Work Environment
Cody's remake vision transcends mere reproduction of the original movie. By emphasizing a generational conflict, she can investigate how younger generations view occupational dynamics from a different angle over time. She can also include the complexity of race, sexuality, and technology developments, which have molded the workplace scene even more.
A Cultural Conflictready for Comedy
Cody sees the funny possibilities in this intergenerational strife. She points out that younger generations have learnt to create limits in a way previous generations might not have. This change in the dynamics of the workplace generates a "cultural clash" ready for humorous inquiry. Cody is not divulging too much about the story, but she is thrilled about the possibility to feature this relevant issue on film.
Jennifer Aniston's Participations
Cody is writing the screenplay while Jennifer Aniston is set to star the 9 to 5 remake. Though the project is still in its early years, Cody is excited about giving this venerable comedy a modern viewpoint. Emphasizing contemporary workplace dynamics and committed to investigating fresh comedic angles, the 9 to 5 remake has the potential to be a deserving successor to the original.
