Like the original film, the redo will be set in Louisiana and explore the bond among a group of women. The original famously starred Sally Field, Shirley MacLaine, Olympia Dukakis, Dolly Parton, Daryl Hannah and Julia Roberts. No cast or premiere date has been announced yet, but here are some suggestions.

--Please find a role for Phylicia Rashad. We've missed her since the Clair Huxtable days. No one plays a concerned mom better.

--Loretta Devine, also, please. Heck, go ahead and borrow freely from the cast of the underrated "For Colored Girls" movie.

--You've got to keep the armadillo groom's cake, please. Next to beer cans and various sports team insignia, that's one of the most famed groom's cake options out there. Deliciously southern.
Do you have any cast suggestions for the new "Steel Magnolias"? And are there scenes or lines from the film
