"Legally Blonde 3" is Officially Happening: Reese Witherspoon Currently in Talks to Close Deal

MGM

We believed and stayed hopeful, Elle Woods, and we got it!

According to an exclusive report by Deadline Hollywood, a Legally Blonde 3 film is close to officially happening as Reese Witherspoon, who starred in the iconic films as the lively queen of bend and snap and Harvard graduate Elle Woods, is currently in talks to close a deal with MGM to reprise her iconic role.

Karen McCullah and Kirsten "Kiwi" Smith, the writers behind the adapted script for the beloved 2001 original film, are also in final talks with MGM to return as screenwriters for the third film.

While currently not much is known about the film's exact premise (as contracts are currently still being dealt), an insider told Deadline Hollywood writer Mike Fleming Jr that Legally Blonde 3 "will be much in the spirit of the first film, in which Woods' idealism and pink-dominant wardrobe prevailed over cynicism and snootiness all around her after the freshly dumped former sorority sister heads to law school. [While T]he sequel brought her to D.C. to join the staff of a congresswoman to pass a bill to ban animal testing," the third Elle Woods film will be "more about female empowerment" and hopes to "draw back in the audience that grew up with the original film and find a new global audience."

Producer Marc Platt, who produced the two Legally Blonde films, will be returning with Platt Productions president Adam Siegel to produce the upcoming third film, as well as be joined by Witherspoon through her production company Hello Sunshine.

No film director has been attached to the project yet, nor have other actors part of the previous films, including Luke Wilson, Jennifer Coolidge, and Selma Blair, been confirmed to be reprising their role.

All I know is that for some reason I have the urge to bend and snap and change the world one day at a time while wearing a pink suit...weird (she says as snapping!)

Update: As of June 7, Reese Witherspoon has taken to Twitter to OFFICIALLY confirm "Legally Blonde 3" is happening, with a simple but sweet tweet to make it official. The film is set to be theatrically released on February 14, 2020.

It's Not All Bad News for "Futurama" Fans, Thanks To Show's So-Developer David X. Cohen

JamCity If you are a big fan of Futurama like myself and were saddened by the news that Netflix was removing episodes from the cult-classic futuristic cartoon, then the show's co-developer David X. Cohen has come to the rescue! Recently it's been seen on Netlflix that various seasons of Futurama have been removed (only seasons 6 and 7 remain, which are divided into 2 parts and listed on Netflix as seasons 7 to 10), and naturally Futurama fans took to social media to express their discontent...most utilizing the show's own memes to do so. Before we go any further, I need to get this out of my system: ...There.  (I didn't mean for all the Futurama memes to be just of Professor Farnsworth, it just happened.)  But it's not all "bad news, everyone!" (Get it?!? Okay, I'll get back to the topic...) During a recent  Reddit AMA , the show's creator Matt Groening and head writer David X. Cohen, along with principal voice actor...

Having Breakfast at Tiffany's is NOW OFFICIALLY a Reality

Paramount Pictures If you're a big Aubrey Hepburn fan or simply a fan of good films from the 1960's like Breakfast at Tiffany's , then you'll probably be giddy as I to find out that an actual café store has opened at the fourth floor of the iconic Tiffany & Co. store located in Fifth Avenue in New York City. The café store is called Blue Box Café (rambling a little bit here so you have time to write it down, okay that's enough), officially opened its doors today, and according to a  review by Vogue  of the café's opening, it offers a $29 breakfast menu option that includes coffee and croissant with the "choice of an avocado toast, truffled eggs, or a smoked salmon bagel with schmear." But Blue Box Café will not only offer breakfast options (* very delicious breakfast options ), as  the  Vogue  review  noted that the cafe also offers lunch options at $39 (which include a starter and main course), including the "Charles Lewis Tiffany"...

Four Days After "The Addams Family" Hit Theaters, A Sequel Has Already Been Confirmed

Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Pictures Hear that? It's the sound of my mind being blown...or that of me snapping along to the Addams Family theme song. Following the commercial success of this year's animated re-imagining of one of our favorite unconventional families,  The Addams Family , which was released on theaters October 11, Deadline  exclusively confirmed on Tuesday that an animated kooky and spooky sequel is already in the works. In just its opening weekend, The Addams Family has earned $30.3 million from its theatrical releases in the United States and Canada (a little bit more than three-quarters of its $40 million budget), surpassing box office predictions and showing that millions of moviegoers are still interested in catching up with what Gomez Addams and his family are doing once again. In doing so,  The Addams Family also became the second highest grossing film in the domestic box office this weekend, following Joker which earned $55.9 million. While it...
