Hollywood – Country music icon and actress Reba McEntire is stepping into a new role as both star and producer of a film based on The All-Girl Filling Station’s Last Reunion, a novel by acclaimed author Fannie Flagg.
Flagg, who is best known for penning Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Café, continues to see her work resonate on screen decades after the success of the 1991 film adaptation. The upcoming project will bring another of her Southern-rooted, character-driven stories to audiences, blending humor, resilience, and themes of female empowerment.
McEntire, who has built a career spanning music, television, and film, expressed excitement about the collaboration, describing the project as “a story worth telling for today’s audiences.” Her involvement is expected to draw both her loyal fan base and new viewers eager to see Flagg’s work reimagined for a modern audience.
While a proposed television adaptation of Fried Green Tomatoes never advanced, this new project marks a renewed effort to bring Flagg’s storytelling into the spotlight. With McEntire attached, the adaptation is already generating strong industry buzz.
