Almost 2 years ago it was announced that Sing would have a sequel, and this week director Garth Jennings has posted photos of the cast recording for their roles! Sing 2 will be released on December 25th 2010. Here’s Reese in the recording booth:
The highly anticipated music video for Ariana Grande’s new single ‘thank u, next‘ was released this evening, and features her take on Legally Blonde! As has been teased across the internet for days, the video re-created scenes from popular rom-coms Mean Girls, Bring It On, 13 Going on 30 and of course Legally Blonde – they even recreated the ‘bend & snap’ with Paulette herself, Jennifer Coolidge! Reese tweeted her support of the video as well. Watch the video for yourself:
The December/January edition of Fast Company magazine has a snippet on Reese – it’s a short but good read. Find a scan of it in our Gallery.
A day in the life of Reese Witherspoon How Hello Sunshine founder Reese Witherspoon capitalizes on her strengths to get things done.
Waking up
I have a 6-year-old who likes to have milk at 6 oāclock every morning, so from 6 a.m. to 7 a.m., he drinks milk, and my husband [CAA agent Jim Toth] and I drink coffee. We talk and catch up on the newsāJim likes to hear it, I like to read it. After that, I work out for an hour, then go to work.
Mobilizing
Assuming Iām not on a set somewhere acting, or traveling for, say, a shoot for [her clothing company] Draper James or Elizabeth Arden [sheās a brand collaborator], Iāll go to the Hello Sunshine office or a meeting related to something weāre developing. I quit driving a year ago. My husband said, āBabe, youāre a terrible driver. Get someone to do that for you.ā And itās great because thatās the time I now spend catching up on phone calls or texts. Iāve deliberately stripped away a lot of the layers of people who silo you off as an actor. That changed when I started producing: Iām putting my money into this; this is my sweat equity, all the equity I have. If you have a problem, call me directly.
Socializing
It occurs to me at about 6 oāclock that I should probably do something fun at 7:30. I have two girlfriends who are good at that, and thank God, because [otherwise] Iād have no life. I canāt get groups of people on vacation either. Thatās not my thing. Iām okay with that.
Winding down
I get home around 5:30 or 6 for family dinnerāthatās important to me. I hear what the kids [she also has a 19-year-old daughter, Ava, and a 15-year-old son, Deacon, from her first marriage, to Ryan Phillippe] are doing and how theyāre feeling. I put my 6-year-old to bed at 8, and then I read for two hours. Or Iāll watch a TV show. I love The Crown, Queer Eye, and The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel. Oh, and the latest Chris Rock special on Netflix. He does this great bit about being brutally honest with your children. I feel like Iām constantly counteracting pressure from the parents who want to make the lives of their kids golden and magical at all moments! Guess what, kids? Youāre going to be disappointed and uncomfortable once in a while. I remember Ava crying in bed in third gradeāshe was on JV basketball and she was the only kid on the team who didnāt score. I said, āAves, maybe youāre bad at basketball.ā She thought that was mean. I said, āMean or true? āCause, guess what? Your momās bad at basketball, too.ā
A version of this article appeared in the December 2018/January 2019 issue of Fast Company magazine.
Continuing our on-going task of completing our Gallery, I’ve now updated and finished the Water For Elephants section in the Movies category. This was the 2nd out of 3 ‘love triangle’ films Reese made from 2010-2012, and co-starred Christoph Waltz and Robert Pattinson. This is not one of my favourite Reese films and I think it lacked the spark needed to make it work. However, Reese does look very glamorous in the 1930’s/1940’s costumes, and the movie poster artwork is beautiful.

The 50 Most Daring Entrepreneurs in 2018 Entrepreneurship isn’t easy. It requires bold action. We spotlight 50 entrepreneurs who dared to go big in the past year — and who can inspire us all to dare even bigger.
Reese Witherspoon
Founder: Hello Sunshine
Bold move: Proving that women will watch — and read, and listen
Everyone knows Reese Witherspoon can make a good movie. The Academy Award–winning actress long ago proved her production chops with the films Gone Girl and Wild. But in 2016, Witherspoon launched production company Hello Sunshine to create wide-ranging content for women and in the past year alone announced a podcast network with Rooster Teeth, an Oprah-style book club and partnership with Audible and a brand-new VOD television channel. With every project, Witherspoon is investing in her big-picture goal: proving that women are valuable, hungry consumers of content.
On Friday, Reese attended the Texas Conference for Women in Austin, where she talked about how she developed Hello Sunshine, and increasing the presence of women in the media. Reese re-iterated her statement from the 2015 Glamour Women Of The Year Awards about ambition not being a “dirty word”, and said that ambition is about supporting and encouraging those around you.
Unfortunately I’ve only found one official photo from the event – which you can find in our Gallery. Below are a couple of articles/interviews from the event, and browse through our Twitter ‘moment’ for social media reaction to Reese’s key-note speech.
Actress Reese Witherspoon Encourages Women to be Ambitious
Early on as an actress in Hollywood, when Reese Witherspoon attended meetings to discuss her movie characters and mentioned a character flaw she would like to accentuate, the male producers would almost always say yes, but that would make her unlikable.
In those meetings, Witherspoon said she felt like she was always reminded she had to stay in her lane. Stay in a place that felt comfortable for everybody and conformed to some other personās definition of what made a woman likable.
āI think as I got older I said, Iāve had enough of that,ā Witherspoon said.
āWomen are complicated, they are complex, they are dynamic,ā Witherspoon said. āThose are the women I want to see on the screen.ā
Reese Witherspoon, Fox 2000 Tackling Vietnam Drama ‘League of Wives’
Fox 2000 and Reese Witherspoon are tackling the story of a little-known but key part of the Vietnam War.
The studio has preemptively acquired The League of Wives, an upcoming non-fiction book by Heath Lee, for Witherspoonās Hello Sunshine banner to produce an adaptation.
The book, which is to be published by St. Martinās Press in April 2019, tells of a group of women ā wives of military men who would never describe themselves as feminists ā that banded together to save their husbands. When their fighter pilot husbands were shot down, captured and imprisoned for years under deplorable conditions during the Vietnam War, the group of well-educated military wives transformed into a league of take-charge lobbyists, human rights activists and even spies determined to do everything in their power to bring their POW and MIA spouses home. By 1973, the group had brought back 115 men.
āAt Hello Sunshine, we strive to showcase brave, brilliant female characters, and the women of League of Wives are all of that and more,ā Witherspoon, who will produce with Hello Sunshine exec Lauren Levy Neustadter, said Wednesday in a statement. āFrom the minute I heard about this inspiring true story, I knew it was a perfect fit for us. Iām excited to be partnering with the team at Fox 2000 to bring this special book to life onscreen, and to be giving audiences a glimpse at this meaningful moment in American history.ā
Marisa Paiva and Molly Saffron will oversee for Fox 2000.
Lee is a museum curator and writer of womenās history and her book, whose complete title is The League of Wives: The Untold Story of the Women Who Took on the President, the Pentagon and the Rest of the US Government to Bring Their Husbands Home, is partially based on her museum exhibition on the same subject. She is repped by UTA and Katherine Flynn at Kneerim & Williams.
Take a look back at this past summer’s first-ever all-girl AT&T Hello Sunshine Filmmaker Lab, produced by Fresh Films! 21 teenage girls spent 8 days in Los Angeles filming a documentary under the guidance of mentors and professional creators. Along their journey, the aspiring young filmmakers had the opportunity to meet with some of the most powerful names in Hollywood, from music editor Julie Pearce to cinematographer Kira Kelly. Hear their stories and advice they gave the young female filmmakers!
