JASON MOORE'S DOUBLE DUTY: FROM 'ELLE' TO 'MURDER, SHE WROTE'
The Broadway and TV director is bringing iconic characters back to life—first Reese Witherspoon's Elle Woods origins, then Jamie Lee Curtis as the legendary Jessica Fletcher.
Talk about a power move! Director Jason Moore is having a MAJOR moment, juggling two huge nostalgia projects that have fans absolutely buzzing. According to Variety, the Tony-nominated filmmaker directed the first two episodes of Prime Video's "Legally Blonde" prequel series "Elle," where he even got a visit from executive producer Reese Witherspoon on set. Moore's also steering the ship on the upcoming "Murder, She Wrote" feature film, with Jamie Lee Curtis stepping into Jessica Fletcher's iconic shoes.
Moore's no stranger to big-name projects—his resume spans film, television, and Broadway, so he's basically the Swiss Army knife of directors right now. The "Elle" series is diving deep into how Elle Woods became the fabulous force of nature we know and love, and Variety reports that Season 2 is going full archival-mode with its wardrobe choices (hello, authenticity!). Meanwhile, devoted "Murder, She Wrote" fans are already speculating what Moore will bring to that beloved mystery series when it hits theaters.
From pink power suits to murder mysteries, Moore is reminding us that the best stories are the ones worth revisiting—and sometimes reinventing!
