The US actress and comedian Whoopi Goldberg says she is working on a sequel to her hit film “Sister Act” – and has now revealed who she wants to be in the cast. “I want Lizzo to come along,” the 66-year-old said on presenter Charlamagne tha God’s show “Hell of a Week.”
In addition to US singer Lizzo (34), Goldberg also named rapper Nicki Minaj (39, “Moment 4 Life”) and actress Keke Palmer (29, “Hustlers”) as other preferred candidates. “I want as many people as possible who want to have fun because I need some fun,” Goldberg continued.
The actress left open in the interview when the film should be released. The script should be ready by the end of October, Goldberg said. According to the trade journal “Deadline”, the film should be released by Disney.
“Sister Act – A Heavenly Career” was released in 1992 and tells the story of a nightclub singer who ends up in a convent – one of the most popular roles of Oscar winner Goldberg (“Ghost – Message from Sam”). A year later “Sister Act 2 – In Divine Mission” was released. The comedy was also staged as a musical.
