Legally Blonde, which followed a sorority girl who attempts to win back her law student ex-boyfriend by getting a law degree, was released in 2001 and became a sleeper hit for the MGM studio. 

Reese reprised her lead role as Elle Woods in a 2003 sequel, with many of the original cast also returning. 

Earlier this year, it was reported there had been discussions about a third instalment of the franchise.
