LOS ANGELES — Country music icon Dolly Parton is on-board with the remake of her iconic movie “9 to 5,” but don’t expect to see her in a starring role. 

Speaking to HuffPost on Wednesday while promoting her new line of frozen foods, Parton said she and her original “9 to 5” co-stars won’t appear in Jennifer Aniston’s upcoming remake of the 1980 workplace comedy, but she’s willing to contribute to the project in other ways.

Parton also revealed that she, Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin spent years trying to develop a sequel to the cult classic.

“Jane, Lily and I have been trying for years to try to come up with a ‘9 to 5: Two’ through the years,” Parton told HuffPost. “It never happened.”

The original “9 to 5” was a box office hit that earned Parton an Academy Award nomination for the title song. She starred as Doralee Rhodes, alongside Tomlin as Violet Newstead and Fonda as Judy Bernly, as three secretaries who set out to get revenge on their sexist boss. 

While the original trio won’t reunite on screen, Parton said Aniston’s team initially wanted them involved in some capacity.

“In Jennifer’s story, they wanted us to be involved in it somehow,” Parton said. “But we have no plans to be in that.”

The 79-year-old singer cited age as a factor in the decision, joking that the original stars wouldn’t measure up visually against younger actors.

“I think a lot of it is that, you know, we’re all older now,” Parton said. “We’re not gonna look that good on the big screen. All of us up there with all those beautiful, young, fresh people.”

Parton praised the remake’s script and told Aniston she’s welcome to use the original “9 to 5” song. Parton said she offered to write additional music or rework the classic theme song if needed.

“The script I read, I thought, was really good and a new and different take that really brings the office up to date the way that people live now,” Parton said. “I really would love to see the show, and I’d love to be able to write some music, be involved in that way with it.” 

No release date has been announced for the remake, which will be written by “Juno” writer Diablo Cody. 

The Grammy winner also touched on another remake project she’s connected to: the upcoming “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” reboot. Parton was an uncredited producer on the original 1990s series through her production company, Sandollar Productions, which will again be involved in the new version.

“I will be as involved as I need to be, or as I can be,” she said. “I may come up with some ideas for some of the episodes.”
