Oscar winner Octavia Spencer is set to breathe life into a reboot of the hit TV series Murder, She Wrote.
But it turns out that the show’s original star, 88-year-old Angela Lansbury think it’s a mistake to bring the show back as Murder, She Wrote. The Hollywood Reporter quotes Angela saying:
“I think it’s a mistake to call it Murder, She Wrote,” Lansbury said, “because Murder, She Wrote will always be about Cabot Cove and this wonderful little group of people who told those lovely stories and enjoyed a piece of that place, and also enjoyed Jessica Fletcher, who is a rare and very individual kind of person. … So I’m sorry that they have to use the title Murder, She Wrote, even though they have access to it and it’s their right.”
Lansbury isn’t totally hating, she think Octavia was great playing a maid.
“I saw her in The Help and thought she was absolutely wonderful, a lovely actress,” Lansbury said. “So I wish her well, but I wish it wasn’t in Murder, She Wrote.”
Do you think the Murder, She Wrote reboot should go by a different name?
