The sequel, the prequel and legacy of ‘Legally Blonde’
Legally Blonde was such a surprise hit in 2001 that MGM fast-tracked a sequel. Smith and McCullah were unavailable for 2003’s Legally Blonde 2: Red, White and Blonde which saw Elle visit Congress in Washington, D.C.
“We were writing Ella Enchanted,” Smith said. “We were under contract for a different studio.”
Still, Smith said the production invited them to the set. During post-production, they still wrote new lines to be dubbed in.
“We were still treated as part of the family, which is lovely,” Smith said.

They are also involved in the Broadway musical adaptation of 10 Things with music by Carly Rae Jepsen.
“We’ve cast it and done a couple run-throughs,” McCullah said.
In addition to the Q&A screening, Smith said she is looking forward to buying a ticket to her own movie at her local theater to enjoy it with a crowd.
“I hope they dress up in pink,” Smith said.
