According to Variety, Sister Act 3 is continuing to be developed for the new Disney streaming service, Disney+.
While no details are being released, the film does have writers, Regina Hicks and Karin Gist. The two have written together several times before, including Drumline and Camp Rock.
Whoopi Goldberg starred in the first Sister Act of 1992 as Deloris, a Las Vegas lounge singer who witnesses a murder committed by her criminal boyfriend. She’s placed in a convent in witness protection and becomes Sister Mary Clarence. Maggie Smith, Kathy Najimy, Wendy Makkena, Harvey Keitel, and Bill Nunn also starred. The film was followed up with both a sequel and a Broadway musical.
A rep for Goldberg tells Entertainment Weekly, “It is our understanding that this is not a continuation and Whoopi is not involved,”
She also told Good Morning Brittain, “We’ve been all over Disney begging and 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’ll 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.”
Sister Act 3 joins a number of previously announced projects for Disney+, including two live-action Star Wars series and several surrounding Avengers characters. The live-action Lady and the Tramp and a female-centric Santa movie starring Anna Kendrick are also on the list.
Look for the new Disney+ service late next year.
