It’s been 17 years since the first Legally Blonde movie came out (2001) and it looks like we’re getting a third Legally Blonde film!

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Reese Witherspoon is in early talks to not only reprise her role as Elle Woods, but also co-produce the film.

Right now we don’t know who is going to direct, or whether original cast members like Luke Wilson are returning, but we are so excited we might just have to bend….and snap!

Deadline’s film editor Mike Fleming Jr wrote:

“They are keeping the plot under wraps, but I’m told it will be much in the spirit of the first film”

“The intention here is to make this more about female empowerment, a message that hits at a fortuitous time in the culture.”

Witherspoon is currently filming the second season of her HBO show Big Little Lies.
