The original movie, released in 2001, followed sorority queen Elle Woods, played by Witherspoon, as she navigates law school after being dumped by her boyfriend. The film was a hit and spawned a sequel in 2003, as well as a direct-to-video spinoff in 2009. Fans have been eagerly awaiting the release of “Legally Blonde 3,” which is co-written by Mindy Kaling and has been in development for several years.
