Reese Witherspoon might as well be the queen of rom-coms. The actress has had a number of different romantic hits which include Revenge of a blonde Yup four christmasbut one that has become a fan favorite over the years it is Sweet home Alabama. The film was released in 2002 and appealed to romantic comedy lovers of all ages, now it is a classic for fans of the genre. Josh Lucas, who plays the small town love interest, is unforgettable, recently commenting on whether a possible sequel would be possible.
In an interview with Entertainment Tonight, Lucas was asked if he was interested in a possible sequel and if Witherspoon would be reprising his iconic role. Even if you would like to make another one, busy schedules can prevent the project from starting. The actor explained:
I’d like to. I campaigned for it. I won’t say she’s the problem, but I think it’s partly because Reese is so busy. … I really think, I guess, I hope, she wants to be a part of it. Sculpting this part of her life is not that easy for her. I don’t have the same responsibilities or time constraints so I hope you can find the time to do that. I’ll be there tomorrow.
There’s clearly a lot of love and support for another episode, so I won’t give up hope just yet, but there are plenty of projects involving the original cast that could get in the way. Reese Witherspoon is especially busy, as Lucas pointed out. Her production company Hello Sunshine is behind a long list of upcoming projects in Hollywood, including Daisy Jones and the six Yup legally blonde 3. She plays Revenge of a blonde also sequels, as well as the AppleTV+ series the morning programis one tinkle Live action film in development.
There are so many Reese Witherspoon projects to look forward to, but I can’t help but think of one. Sweet home Alabama continuation. The original film is about a New York fashion designer, played by Witherspoon, who becomes engaged to a respectable bachelor, played by Patrick Dempsey. However, he can’t marry him unless his high school sweetheart he married agrees to a divorce. He returns to his hometown and finds himself accidentally rekindling his old romance. I know fans are dying to know what happened to the couple after the credits, so maybe enough support could make that happen.
The potential for a sequel has already been mooted, but Witherspoon’s naturally tight schedule appears to be delaying the project. However, Josh Lucas seems to be on board constantly. Because Sweet Home Alabamathe actor starred in such films as ford against ferrari, and is currently a cast member of yellow stone. He also hasn’t strayed too far from his romantic roots, having starred opposite Katie Holmes in the 2020 romantic drama. The secret: dare to dream.
