From Today Entertainment:
The remake mania continues. According to Deadline.com, 1989 tearjerker Steel Magnolias is the latest beloved film to get a new version, and the twist here is that the cast — all-white in the original — will be all-black.
Like the original film, the redo will be set in Louisiana and explore the bond among a group of women. The original famously starred Sally Field, Shirley MacLaine, Olympia Dukakis, Dolly Parton, Daryl Hannah and Julia Roberts. No cast or premiere date has been announced yet, but here are some suggestions.
Story: Readers on remakes: Hands off the classics, Hollywood!
—Please find a role for Phylicia Rashad. We’ve missed her since the Clair Huxtable days. No one plays a concerned mom better.
—Loretta Devine, also, please. Heck, go ahead and borrow freely from the cast of the underrated For Colored Girls movie.
