Disney are remaking Sister Act

Hallelujah! Sister Act is set to get a 21st-century makeover.

Screenwriters Kirsten 'Kiwi' Smith and Karen McCullah are in the process of penning the script for the upcoming reboot, The Wrap reports.

Meanwhile, Allison Shearmur - who produced Disney's live-action movie 'Cinderella' - is also on board for the remake.

The original film - for that one person that may not know - starred Whoopi Goldberg as a Vegas performer who puts together a gospel choir in a nunnery while hiding from a mob boss.

Following the success of the first instalment - which also starred Maggie Smith and Harvey Keitel and earned $232m worldwide - Whoopi returned for the sequel 'Sister Act 2: Back In The Habit'.

However, it's yet to be confirmed whether the 'Ghost' actress will be making an appearance in the reboot - and Twitter is not too happy about it.

They are making a a new 'Sister Act'....if Whoopi Goldberg isn't in it, I'm not watching it!
