Major film that has been in the works for years is set for a HUGE rewrite following Dame Maggie Smith's death

As a lifestyle expert with a wealth of knowledge and experience in the entertainment industry, I must say that it is both exciting and heartbreaking to hear about the delayed production of Sister Act 3. The loss of Dame Maggie Smith leaves an immense void that will surely be difficult to fill, but the resilience of the film’s team is truly commendable.


Whoopi Goldberg has given fans a huge update about the upcoming Sister Act film.

It’s been a while since we heard news about the production of the much-anticipated third movie, but actress Whoopi, at 68 years old, recently revealed that the project has been temporarily paused due to the passing of her fellow cast member, Dame Maggie Smith.

The star revealed the project had been delayed as scripts have had to be rewritten.

On “The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon”, Whoopi mentioned that they are making certain changes due to the passing of Maggie Smith, a fact that is already known.

‘And so, we will get it done. We will get it done. It just is a shift.’

In the films ‘Sister Act 2: Back in the Habit’ (1993) and its prequel from 1992, Maggie Smith portrayed the character of Mother Superior.

The actress who won an Oscar died in September at the age of 89, marking the end of a remarkable 70-year acting journey.

Previously this year, Whoopi, who continues to avoid mentioning his name, playfully hinted at the upcoming release of the movie without providing a precise timeline.

She informed Entertainment Tonight: “It’s on its way. You can expect it over the horizon soon. I’m eager and ready – it’s about time for it to arrive.

Following numerous postponements, The View panel member expresses her belief that this is the opportune moment for the film’s release.

She explained: ‘Because we need to laugh, you know?

Here’s a possible way of paraphrasing the original statement in natural and easy-to-read language:

Earlier, the co-producer of the movie (alongside Tyler Perry) disclosed that she had extended an invitation for a small role in the film to Pope Francis, as he appeared to be quite fond of it.

She said: ‘I offered one. He said he’d see what his time was like.’

Back in October 2022, the actress from ‘The Color Purple’ expressed her wish for Nicki Minaj, Lizzo, and Keke Palmer to star in ‘Sister Act 3’.

On the Comedy Central show ‘Hell of A Week’, she expressed: ‘I wish for everyone. I hope all those eager for a good time, because truthfully, I’m craving some laughter and joy myself.’

In the initial movie, Whoopi Goldberg played Deloris Van Cartier, a vocalist, who disguised herself as a nun at a monastery following her enrollment into a witness protection program.

In the early ’90s, it turned out to be one of the most financially successful movies, raking in approximately $232 million (equivalent to £177 million) following its premiere.
