Legally Blonde 3 will reunite Smith and McCullah, who started out as a writing team before going their separate ways, after generating such comedies as Legally Blonde, 10 THINGS I Hate About You and House Bunny. The film is currently scheduled for a release date of Valentines Day (February 14) 2020.

Legally Blonde is a 2001 American comedy film based on the novel of the same name by Amanda Brown.

The film tells the story of Elle Woods, a sorority girl who attempts to win back her ex-boyfriend by getting a law degree. It was nominated for a Golden Globe Award for Best Motion Picture: Musical or Comedy and ranked 29th on Bravo's 2007 list of "100 Funniest Movies". Witherspoon received a Golden Globe nomination for Best Actress - Motion Picture Musical or Comedy, and the 2002 MTV Movie Award for Best Female Performance.

The box office success led to a 2003 sequel, Legally Blonde 2: Red, White & Blonde, and a 2009 direct-to-DVDspin-off, Legally Blondes. Additionally, Legally Blonde: The Musical premiered on January 23, 2007, in San Francisco and opened in New York City at the Palace Theatre on Broadway on April 29, 2007, starring Laura Bell Bundy.
