For those concerned about whether or not Legally Blonde 3 will live up to the iconic original – don’t worry! It is certain that there will be some “bending and cracking”, according to Mindy Kaling, who is writing the script Brooklyn Nine-Nine creator Dan Goor.
In an interview with Access, The office alum offered some details about the next episode of the romantic comedy. “I love the franchise very much,” said Kaling. “I love Elle Woods as a character and when Reese asked me to write it I was like, ‘For sure!’ “
Kaling added that she can’t wait for people to see Reese Witherspoon as Elle Woods at 40, against how she was at 21. She said it’s been “a lot of fun” to imagine.
As for when we can wait to see the film, fans will have to be patient because, well, we are in a pandemic and making films has been a challenge. Kaling said, “I don’t know when we’ll be able to make films again, but it would be great, if Reese likes the script, shooting this year would be incredible.”
Based on Kaling’s excitement and love for romantic comedies, Legally Blonde 3 seems to be in good hands. As she is a huge fan of the original, we can definitely expect a few nods to Elle’s origin story – including the memorable “bend and pop”.
“Bend and Snap is forever,” admitted Kaling. “We definitely have a lot of fan favorites from the original movie.”
