Lily Tomlin: Last News

The 1980 comedy hit 9 To 5 came at a crucial turning point for women in the workplace. Star/Producer Jane Fonda explains in the new documentary of its creation and the movement that spawned it, that she and producting partner Bruce Gilbert wanted to do a serious film on the struggle women had endured for decades, but instead decided that to get anyone to pay attention the only way to do it was with laughs. Thus a smash hit comedy was born, initially with a screenplay by Patricia Resnick that as she explained was met with creative differences, and then later saw its problems solved when ironically a man, the late Colin Higgins (Harold And Maude) came in to write and direct the final film.

Tom Brady will appear in and produce through his production company, 199 Productions, the upcoming film . Inspired by a true story, the movie stars Jane Fonda, Lily Tomlin, Rita Moreno and Sally Field as four best friends and New England Patriots fans who go on a life-changing trip to the 2017 Super Bowl to see their hero play. “Brady is sort of the golden statue that they are trying to find in this journey,” says Kyle Marvin, who co-wrote and will direct the film from a script originally penned by Emily Halpern and Sarah Haskins, the duo behind. “It’s really just sort of a magical thing that happened.” He adds, “All the women are incredible in their roles… We are in rehearsals and they are bringing this incredible energy and power to the table.
