The remake, first mentioned in the [_Hollywood Reporter_](http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/sister-act-remake-works-at-799813), is currently in development and will be written by Kirsten Smith and Karen McCullah, whose female-skewing projects include _Legally Blonde_, _She’s the Man,_ and _10 Things I Hate About You_. Allie Shearmur, whose last Disney project was the live-action [_Cinderella_ reboot](http://www.ew.com/article/2015/03/12/cinderella-review), will produce. [News of the remake comes 23 years after the original, starring ](http://www.ew.com/article/2015/03/12/cinderella-review)[Goldberg](http://www.ew.com/article/2015/02/17/whoopi-goldberg-dolores-jermaine-the-view) as a lounge singer who disguises herself as a nun after her mobster beau (Harvey Keitel) commits a murder. The Disney comedy—which also starred Maggie Smith as Mother Superior, Kathy Najimy as Sister Mary Patrick, and Wendy Makkena as Sister Mary Robert—went on earn $232 million worldwide, and spawned both a 1993 sequel and Tony Award-winning Broadway musical that premiered in 2006. Disney is staying mum on plot details and casting, though there’s no harm in praying that some—if not all—of the original stars will return. And it might just take a miracle to get Goldberg on board, as the 59-year-old is currently a moderator on ABC’s daytime talk show _The View_ and has committed to executive producing an upcoming reality show on Centric that will star her daughter, Alex Martin. _This_ [_article_](http://www.ew.com/article/2015/06/03/sister-act-remake) _originally appeared on_ [_EW.com_](http://www.ew.com)_._ _Read next:_ [_Disney Is Working on a Live-Action ‘Night on Bald Mountain’ From Fantasia_](http://time.com/3907345/disney-fantasia-night-on-bald-mountain/?iid=time%5Freadnext) ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3907929/disney-sister-act-remake/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3907929/disney-sister-act-remake/"},"headline":"Hallelujah!
