Midler and more join cast of all-female film
Man, the remake of “The Women” – the long-gestating redo of a 1939 movie, which Diane English is helming – is taking the form of a damn state-wide women’s rally.
Joining the cast of the film today are Bette Midler, Cloris Leachman, Carrie Fisher, Lynn Whitfield, Joanna Gleason, Ana Gasteyer and Debi Mazar, according to Variety.
They join Meg Ryan, Annette Bening, Eva Mendes, Debra Messing, Jada Pinkett-Smith and Candice Bergen, who play friends who discover the pal they envied most is being cheated on by her husband. As in the George Cukor-directed original, English’s film has an entirely female cast.
Would hate to be the sparky on the set of this one.
