File this one under the “You’ve got to be frigging kidding me” category. It appears there is going to be 2 more Legally Blonde movies heading our way, and it looks like they hired the director for it too, Savage Steve Holland. The folks over at Collider give us this:
Yes, it’s official, I am directing the Tri-quel to Legally Blonde. It’s called Legally Blondes. I’m not sure how much I can say about it as I just got the call. But it’s very sweet and funny. Beloved director Sean Macnamara (BRATZ) was supposed to direct this project. He had too much on his plate as a show-runner/producer. His company Brookwell/Macnamara basically produces EVERYTHING else that’s being made in this town. So he will PRODUCE LB3! So I got hired to direct. I think it’s because I kinda look like Sean. We’re both incredibly handsome, beefy, bushy haired surfer types.
I’m just at a loss for words. I’ll admit that even I found the first Legally Blonde movie to have its charm. I liked it. The second film wasn’t needed at all… and as it turns out most people who saw it wish it was never made. It was just a terrible movie. How on earth can they even consider doing another one?
I refuse to believe they’d actually be able to get Reese Witherspoon to reprise her role in the film. Her name would be the only possible draw to the movie… and without her in it… you’re guaranteed looking at a straight to DVD project. And if by some miracle they do manage to get Witherspoon to sign on, I will officially announce the demise of her career. This just can’t actually happen.
