Walt Disney Pictures has announced that its set to remake the hit 1992 comedy Sister Act, with Kirsten Smith and Karen McCullah (10 Things I Hate About You, Legally Blonde) set to pen the script and Allison Shearmur (Cinderella) producing.
Sister Act was a huge hit upon release, grossing $232 million around the world; the film starred Whoopi Goldberg (who apparently won’t be involved in the remake) as a signer forced to hide out from the mob at a San Francisco convent, and went on to spawn the 1993 sequel Sister Act 2: Back in the Habit, as well as a hit stage musical.
