Reese Witherspoon doppelganger and The Murdaugh Murders actress Lexi Minetree to play Elle Woods within the Legally Blonde prequel collection.
I’m sorry. I simply hallucinated. Did scientists invent a viable human cloning gadget, and nobody advised me? I ask as a result of The Murdaugh Murders actress Lexi Minetree seems to be remarkably like a younger Reese Witherspoon, and he or she’s taking part in Elle Woods within the Legally Blonde prequel collection. In keeping with a earlier report from Deadline, Minetree was one of many finalists for the position, and in the present day, she’s able to put on pink and make a splash because the beloved blonde bombshell and Harvard celebrity.
Reese Witherspoon introduced Lexi Minetree’s casting for the Legally Blonde prequel collection by way of social media this morning, saying, “Allow me to introduce you to the new Elle Woods! After watching so many incredible auditions for the new Elle prequel series on @PrimeVideo, we finally found our Elle. And today, I got to break the news myself! Meet @leximinetree”
Okay, the video posted under is without doubt one of the most endearing solid reveals I’ve seen in my 14 years at JoBlo. I can’t consider how a lot Minetree seems to be like a younger Reese Witherspoon and has the vitality to match.
The Legally Blonde prequel collection, Elle, follows Elle Woods in highschool as we be taught in regards to the life experiences that formed her into the enduring younger girl we got here to know and love within the first Legally Blonde movie.
I just lately watched Legally Blonde for the primary time (I do know I’m late to the occasion) and thought it was pleasant. I hope the highschool model of Elle Woods shows a portion of the character’s pleasure, self-awareness, and talent as she does within the authentic movie, although maybe these traits include time. Regardless, I may simply see Minetree proudly owning this position. The job may catapult her into superstardom, supplied the present is profitable, and he or she knocks the half out of the park.
Is it a sensible transfer to make a Legally Blonde prequel as an alternative of a sequel with Reese Witherspoon returning to the position? What sort of highschool shenanigans will Elle rise up to? Will she run for sophistication president? Grow to be captain of the controversy staff? We’ll have an interest to search out out.
