Reese Witherspoon Compares ‘Legally Blonde 3’ to ‘Top Gun: Maverick
Witherspoon gave an update on “Legally Blonde 3” and expressed her hope that the long awaited sequel can find the same balance of nostalgia and fresh faces that made “Maverick” soar so high.
“I’m still hoping that ‘Legally Blonde 3’ is gonna come together in the right way,” she said.
“It’s just like ‘Top Gun’: They waited a long time to make another version of that movie, and I loved the nostalgia piece they incorporated in it.
So definitely that gave us a lot of inspiration about what we would want to do with Elle Woods and make sure that we had all those same touchstones that mattered to people then.”
Witherspoon added that, much like Cruise, she is extremely protective of Elle Woods and the franchise that helped make her a star.
The long wait for the sequel to materialize stems from her extremely high standards for the series.
