The deal gives MGM another branded title, alongside Creed and the James Bond films. Creed 2 is in production with Michael B. Jordan and Sylvester Stallone, Tessa Thompson, Dolph Lundgren and Florian Munteanu, and Bond 25 has just been finalized overseas with Daniel Craig Return and Danny Boyle directing the screenplay by John Hodges and Universal. 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!” Reese Witherspoon reprises her role as attorney Elle Woods in the film she is producing through her studio Hello Sunshine with the franchise`s original producer, Marc Platt. Jamie Suk is directing and Mindy Kaling and Dan Goor wrote the final screenplay. The first image in the series, based on the novel by Amanda Brown, was released in 2001 and grossed $141 million worldwide on a budget of $18 million. A second photo followed two years later. In the sequel, Elle is planning her wedding and wants to invite the biological mother of her faithful companion Bruiser. After discovering that Bruiser`s mother is being used for animal testing, she takes Capitol Hill to fight for animal rights and becomes aware of the corrupt intentions of the dismissive American leaders responsible for passing the legislation. Speaking to USA Today in July 2022, Reese Witherspoon explained that she was inspired by Tom Cruise`s Top Gun: Maverick to combine an element of nostalgia with a whole new story. “I still hope Legally Blonde 3 comes together in the right way,” she said.

Kaling says she had to say goodbye to her And Just Like That frenzy after two episodes — in part because the challenges seemed too close to her struggle with the Legally Blonde project. “I found it too uncomfortable to watch,” she says. “I felt like I could feel sorry for the producers and writers of the show and try to address all these issues from the past and be funny and fabulous, but also apologize for myself.” For now, it remains to be seen who will reprise their roles from the original films. Wilson has stated that he would like to appear in Legally Blonde 3, but has yet to confirm his return as Emmett. Fans can expect to see more friendship between Elle and Paulette in Legally Blonde 3, as Witherspoon recently teased that Coolidge will play an important role in the film. Of course, Kaling seems to have worked hard to flesh out the next chapter of Elle`s story. Kaling wants to make sure fans see Elle as an evolved version of themselves, rather than the character trying to catch up in a new decade, which could make Elle uncomfortable. “It`s really happening.

Mindy Kaling and Dan [Goor] are now writing it for Reese [Witherspoon] as the lead actor. Reese and Lauren Neustadter produce with Marc Platt. We are all developing it together. What does Elle Woods look like at 40? She is a mother with a thriving career. However, the film has since been delayed with no new release date. Kaling promises that while Legally Blonde 3 will acknowledge that the world has changed since the original film premiered in 2001, the new film will always be a love letter to Elle Woods. “We`re not afraid of the character in this world and we don`t feel like we have to apologize for them. As a fan, I didn`t want to see her cancelled or become a Karen. The character is just fun,” she says. “That`s what was interesting and challenging, and that`s why it takes us so long to write.” “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. Kaling spoke to ELLE.com about writing the script and said: The trade press is pleased with a tweet from MGM Studios that Legally Blonde 3 will be released in May 2022. But even though studios are now putting their movies on hold every week, there`s no surprise here: MGM announced that the film would launch for ComScore on May 20, 2022, a few months ago. The excitement seems to come from a tweet posted yesterday by the studio. Joanne Lowles has been writing about television since 2002. After completing a postgraduate degree in magazine journalism from Cardiff University, she worked for All About Soap magazine, covering the ups and downs of life on the cobblestones, the square and the Dales. Speaking to TIME, Kaling said, “We don`t want to be responsible for the ruin of what is fundamentally Reese`s Avengers franchise.” With her love of nature and wildlife, she has also interviewed top experts in the field, including David Attenborough, Chris Packham and Steve Backshall. She has also traveled the world to Mongolia, Canada and South Africa to see how the best in the industry make the brightest natural history documentaries.
