'Legally Blonde 3'? Reese Does ‘Bend And Snap’ To Confirm 'Elle' TV Series On Prime
Reese Witherspoon reenacted her iconic flirty move while announcing the prequel to the hit "Legally Blonde" franchise.
On Tuesday, the multi-awarded actress posted an Instagram reel as she donned her character Elle Woods to announce a new "Legally Blonde" series on Prime. The teaser showed the actress in her iconic all-pink outfit and at one point doing her iconic "bend and snap" move from the 2001 film -- a seductive bending down and popping back up to capture the attention of someone you like.
The "bend and snap" was a move taught by Witherspoon's character to her friend Paulette (Jennifer Coolidge) to help her get the attention of the guy she's crushing on.
"OK. I'm gonna show you a little maneuver that my mother taught me in junior high. In my experience, it has a 98% success rate of getting a man's attention. And, when used appropriately, it has an 83% rate of return on a dinner invitation. It's called the 'bend and snap,'" Elle told Paulette in the film.
She then proceeded to teach her friend the move using a scenario of dropping something in front of a crush.
In her clip, the 48-year-old actress teased, "Something pink is coming."
"Before she became the most famous Gemini vegetarian to graduate from Harvard Law, she was just a regular '90s high school girl. And all of you are going to get to know her, next year on [Prime Video]. I'M SO EXCITED!" she captioned her post.
The "Legally Blonde" prequel series, "Elle," will follow the high school life of Elle Woods and the life experiences she went through that made her the iconic Elle everyone knew and loved in the film, according to Deadline.
It will be set years before the events in the first film which kicked off with Elle's college graduation and journey to Harvard Law School.
Aside from "Elle," another spinoff of "Legally Blonde" is also reportedly in the works. It is said to be written and executive produced by Josh Schwartz and Stephanie Savage of "Gossip Girl."
Meanwhile, "Elle" is created by Laura Kittrell of "High School" and "Insecure," and executive produced by Lauren Neustadter, Lauren Kisilevsky, Marc Platt and Witherspoon herself under her Hello Sunshine. It is produced by Hello Sunshine and Amazon MGM Studios.
