Universal Pictures and the screenwriters who brought us Legally Blonde and The Twilight Saga are developing a big budget remake of the 1982 movie musical The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas, which starred Dolly Parton and Burt Reynolds. Screenwriters Karen McCulluh and Kirsten Smith have been tipped to rewrite the script and plot to the cinema classic, which featured Dolly’s ballad “I Will Always Love You.”

Whorehouse debuted as a hit stageplay in 1978.
