“Top Gun: Maverick” had many challenges, including getting Val Kilmer back to speak, but apparently all the effort paid off, as it was not only a commercial success, but also became an example for new producers.
Starring Tom Cruise, ‘Top Gun: Maverick’ is the sequel to the 1986 film ‘Top Gun.’ Just over three decades later, Pete Mitchell has once again wowed audiences with his grit and skill as pilot.
As a veteran, his new duty in the Air Force was to train the new generation of pilots, but among his students he found someone who made him remember one of his biggest mistakes: Rooster, the son of the Goose.
The recent Tom Cruise film managed to collect $151 million in its first weekend alone, according to ‘Box Office Mojo’. As if that wasn’t enough, ‘Top Gun: Maverick’ also did well with critics, earning a 97% rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
‘Top Gun: Maverick’: Tom Cruise’s film inspired the new installment of ‘Legally Blonde’
Reese Witherspoon, the star of the upcoming “Legally Blonde 3,” admitted in an interview with “USA Today” on July 29, 2022 that the writers of the sequel turned to “Top Gun: Maverick” for inspiration in the creative process.
The actress hopes her new film will be done the right way and thinks the inspiration for ‘Top Gun: Maverick’ makes more sense than it seems.
This nostalgia, according to the protagonist herself, inspired them to think about what they would like to do with the character of Elle Woods, making sure to keep all the “cornerstones” of the story.
‘Legally Blonde 3’: what is known so far about the new film
The ‘Legally Blonde’ films follow a rich and seemingly boisterous young woman named Elle. In the first film, Elle tries to prove herself at Harvard Law School, while in the second, fans follow her rise to the local congress.
Although ‘Legally Blonde 2’ was well received by fans, it received negative reviews from the trade press. Two decades later, in June 2018, MGM studios announced that a third installment was in development.
Mindy Kaling (“The Office”) is responsible for writing the script for “Legally Blonde 3” and Reese Witherspoon, in addition to starring, also has the role of executive producer.
Mindy Kaling, another of the film’s writers, said in an interview with “Time” that the project was delayed because they didn’t want to be “responsible for destroying what is basically the Reese Avengers franchise.”
The screenwriter took the opportunity to ensure that Legally Blonde 3 will explore what happened to Elle Woods during this time and her life at 42 years old.
