New Legally Blonde 3

After years of speculation and teasing, Deadline reported in May 2020 that Legally Blonde 3 had been given the green light. The outlet confirmed that Witherspoon will return as a blonde lawyer defending herself against Catcalls and won`t advocate for a sister sister to be wrongly accused of murdering her husband — after all: “Happy people don`t kill their husbands!” In a video interview for The Hollywood Reporter, Reese also confirmed that Jennifer Coolidge will return as Paulette, as will other recurring characters, but no definitive name has yet been revealed. Besides Witherspoon and Coolidge, there are rumors that Alanna Ubach will return, while Serena and Jessica Cauffiel will reprise the role of Margot. In March 2022, Kaling Time announced that the film had been postponed indefinitely while she and Goor worked on the script. “We don`t want to be responsible for the ruin of what is basically Reese`s Avengers franchise,” Kaling said, teasing that the film would explore questions like, “What`s Elle Woods like at 42? Will she end up doing everything she wanted? How does this personality manifest itself in an adult woman? Has he become more cynical? Her brightness and cheerfulness really worked when she was 22, but how did life change her perspective on things? She added: “We are not afraid of character in this world and we don`t feel compelled to apologise for them. As a fan, I didn`t want to see her cancelled or become a Karen. So the character is just fun. That`s what was interesting and challenging – and why it takes us so long to write. “I think [She] just inspired people to believe in themselves. She inspired me to really keep an open mind,” Witherspoon said at the October 2020 event. The comedy also brought to life many iconic quotes that fans of the franchise still use today, including “What, How It`s Hard?” and it created the “Bend and Snap” stage.

Earlier, at the New York premiere of Big Little Lies in 2019, Reese revealed that they had “a script,” but added, “But we didn`t shoot anything.” She told Entertainment Tonight: “[She] is a very popular character. You just want her to do a hero`s journey like she does in the first movie, and I`m having a great time working on that. Kaling took to social media after the news, saying, “Finally a use for my Elle Woods fanfiction! So excited to be reunited with my friends [Reese Witherspoon, Lauren Neustadter] and Dan Goor to work on this film. Elle Woods is so iconic and proves that you can be girly and smart at the same time. Bend down and catch people! “Oh, my God. No. Not at all. I don`t think any of us knew what would happen to this film,” she said at the time. “More and more people are stopping me and saying, `I went to law school because of Elle Woods. » A post shared by MGM Studios (@mgmstudios) (opens in a new window) It seems like Legally Blonde 3 was announced an eternity ago (yes, June 2018 really is an eternity), and we`ve been patiently waiting for a trailer and teaser, behind-the-scenes clips, and all that good stuff ever since. But while it looks like filming hasn`t even begun yet, Elle Woods has given Reese Witherspoon clues about who might return for the third part of the film. Although “Legally Blonde 3” was originally scheduled to be released on Valentine`s Day in 2020, the film has since been postponed for two years — and some believe this is due to the coronavirus pandemic. While the plot is kept secret, Kaling teased about his collaboration with Goor: “We loved working on it.” The film was a huge success, grossing over $141 million worldwide and securing Reese`s place as one of the most successful actors of the eighties.

Jennifer Coolidge is ready to bend and return directly to the world of Legally Blonde. ET`s Denny Directo spoke to Coolidge Thursday night at the premiere of The White Lotus, where she teased what fans can expect from the third film in the franchise. “Legally Blonde 3” should be better than ever, as Mindy Kaling and “Brooklyn Nine-Nine” creator Dan Goor have signed on to write the film`s screenplay. Fans, of course, were curious about the reasons for the delay. Now, screenwriter Mindy Kaling has spoken up to explain why the project is taking longer than expected — and part of it has to do with Kaling and co-writer Dan Goor wanting to tell the story well. As for King, she responded to the news of the film by saying, “I love Reese and if she asked me to come back, even if it was just for one scene, I would.” Jennifer Coolidge, who played Paulette Parcelle in “Legally Blonde” in 2001 and its sequel in 2003, will reprise her role as a fun beautician in “Legally Blonde 3.” Moviegoers first met the sister dressed in pink and chihuahua in 2001, when the original film Legally Blonde was released and became an instant hit. The comedy followed Elle when she was unceremoniously abandoned by her Warner Huntington III boyfriend (Matthew Davis) because she wasn`t serious enough. Mindy Kaling, who is set to co-write the screenplay for the third film with “Brooklyn Nine-Nine” creator Dan Goor, also pointed to the fact that the team is eager to make sure they get it right, no matter how long it takes. She told Time in March that the script for “Legally Blonde 3” wasn`t finished yet, but that they were digging deep to make sure it was perfect. “What`s Elle Woods like at 42?” she asked. “Will she end up doing whatever she wanted? How does this personality manifest itself in an adult woman? Has he become more cynical? Her brightness and cheerfulness really worked when she was 22, but how did life change her perspective on things? Witherspoon took to Instagram to announce that Legally Blonde 3 was officially taking place. She posted a short video of herself in the pink sequined bikini of Elle lounging quietly on a pool swimmer.

“That`s right. #LegallyBlonde3,” she captioned the message. Scroll down to see what we know about Legally Blonde 3 so far: plot details are always a well-kept secret. The writing team for the third part consists of Mindy Kaling (The Office, The Mindy Project) and Brooklyn Nine-Nine co-creator Dan Goor.
