    The ‘Ocean’s 8’ actress opens up about her current project, saying she enjoys writing script for the upcoming third installment of the Reese Witherspoon-starring classic romcom.
    Oct 7, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Mindy Kaling is having a great time working on the new “Legally Blonde” sequel.
    Reese Witherspoon asked her pal and “A Wrinkle in Time” co-star to co-write the screenplay for “Legally Blonde 3” with Dan Goor, and Kaling admits she’s having a lot of fun with unlikely legal eagle Elle Woods.
    “It’s been really fun to write,” she tells “Good Morning America”. “I think it’s going to be a great movie for Reese and people are going to love her in this part.”
    “The Office” star reveals she was nervous when Witherspoon approached her about getting involved in the “iconic” movie series.

    “I’ve been working with Reese on a couple of movies and we’ve been friends for a while and I have always quoted the movies to her,” Mindy explains. “It’s been over 20 years since she did the first movie and she asked me if I could help her revisit the character. I was nervous because that film is iconic… I thought it would be fun to see her in her 40s.”
    Reese’s co-star Luke Wilson previously admitted he would be keen for a return to the series as Emmett Richmond.
    Revealing the cast recently regrouped for a Zoom chat, the actor said, “Reese put together this Zoom reunion and it was really funny, because we haven’t seen everybody since we worked on the movie. I’ve always been such a big fan of Reese’s.”
    “I don’t know any more than anybody else that’s on the Internet… but I think they’re writing another movie. I always thought that character of Reese’s was so funny that I know people would love to see it again. I’d definitely be up for working on it, but I’ll just have to wait and see.”

    Reese Witherspoon will return to reprise her iconic role as Elle Woods in the third installment of the film franchise, in addition to taking on the producer role alongside Marc Platt.
    May 19, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Mindy Kaling and Dan Goor have been recruited to bring Reese Witherspoon’s beloved “Legally Blonde” character, Elle Woods, back to the big screen.
    The duo have officially signed on to write MGM’s “Legally Blonde 3”, according to Deadline sources, while Witherspoon will star and produce alongside the franchise’s original producer, Marc Platt.
    Kirsten Smith and Karen McCullah pieced together the first screenplay for the film, but Deadline insiders insist Kaling and Goor have come up with a fresh story, which film bosses prefer.
    Kaling is currently enjoying the success of Netflix hit “Never Have I Ever” and Hulu series “Four Weddings and a Funeral” – both of which she co-created and executive produced.
    Meanwhile, Goor is the co-creator of TV comedy “Brooklyn Nine-Nine”.

    AceShowbiz – Jennifer Lopez urged pal Reese Witherspoon to get cracking on another “Legally Blonde” sequel during an impromptu Instagram Live chat on Monday, April 06.
    Reese called on J.Lo to touch base with the singer and actress during the coronavirus lockdown and chat about her new Quibi show “Thanks a Million”, and was stunned to learn the hitmaker and her family had been watching “Legally Blonde”.
    “Oh, my God, we watched ‘Legally Blonde’ the other day,” Lopez said. “Literally, like, four days ago. Oh, my God, I forgot… I can’t believe I didn’t tell you. They loved it. Loved it. It was so much fun. You were so amazing in that. It’s so great.”
    “And then my daughter’s like, ‘I want to know what happens to her’. And I said, ‘There’s a 2 and a 3, I believe’.”
    Reese quickly corrected her, adding, “Well, no, there’s a 2 but I’m thinking we might be working on a 3.”

    The response turned Lopez into a superfan: “You should. You should. That character was so amazing and so empowering and inspiring,” she gushed. “Yeah, it’s great for girls.”
    Witherspoon, who recently revealed the next “Legally Blonde” sequel is “in development”, then turned the tables on her pal, urging J.Lo to return to Las Vegas for another residency.
    “One of my biggest regrets is that I didn’t see you in Vegas,” Witherspoon said.
    “You never know, I might wind up back in Vegas doing another residency,” Jennifer responded. “Right now, I think I’m going to be touring the next couple of years once this all kind of gets back in order and people start going to concerts again, but I’m going to send for you. I’m going to send you tickets and you’re going to have to come.”
