OFFICIAL: There’s going to be a new Sister Act film

Paul Moore

Sister Act

Joyful, joyful.

Ready to feel old? It has been 25 years since we last saw Deloris Van Cartier / Sister Mary Clarence on the big screen in the wonderfully titled, Sister Act 2: Back in the Habit.

Genuinely, is there a better name to a sequel than that?

Anyway, the original film saw Whoopi Goldberg being nominated for Best Performance by an Actress in a Motion Picture – Comedy or Musical – at the Golden Globes and the films continue to inspire a devoted cult following.

Regarding the possibility of Sister Act 3, Goldberg has some mixed news.

During a recent interview with Good Morning Britain, the Oscar-winner was asked about a potential movie.

“We’ve been all over Disney begging. They’ve decided that they’re going to go in a different direction with Sister Act. So it won’t be Sister Act 3 it will be a brand new rendition of Sister Act, and I guess I’ll walk through a scene and that’s how they’ll say I was part of it.”

FYI, if that’s how the filmmakers want to proceed then so be it.

We just have three requests. 1) Sister Mary Clarence has to be in it, in some shape or form. 2) There needs to be a scene featuring Maggie Smith scolding someone because Maggie Smith is great. 3) More absolute bangers like this, please.
