Who told Lifetime it was okay to remake “Steel Magnolias”?! The 1989 classic starring Sally Field, Dolly Parton, Olympia Dukakis, Shirley MacLaine, and Julia Roberts has been retold by a new cast, including Queen Latifah, Jill Scott, Phylicia Rashad, and Alfre Woodard. And based on this trailer, it seems Lifetime didn’t change a single thing about the script, which means we’ll all be reciting the lines when Queen Latifah takes on Sally Field’s famously teary speech. No release date has yet been released.

OMG indeed – why mess with perfection?
The original still holds up!
Doesn’t ANYONE ever have an original idea?
I am soooo excited for this. Robert Harling, the fellow who wrote it in the first place, is on board for this one– I bet it’s going to be AWESOME.
all i can see is her saying “La’Chelbie drink your gin and juice”
