Witherspoon: Legally cute

Los Angeles, July 15 (Reuters): Reese Witherspoon is in negotiations to lend her voice to the Disney cartoon Rapunzel: Unbraided, which would star Broadway actress Kristin Chenoweth in the title role of the long-haired beauty trapped in a tower.

In a new take on the tale, Rapunzel encounters a modern girl and boy who have been thrust into her world. Witherspoon is being sought to voice the role of the girl, named Claire, who becomes a contemporary version of Rapunzel as she mixes with ogres, witches and other fairy tale characters.

Witherspoon was most recently in theatres with last summer’s Legally Blonde sequel. She is currently filming a role as country music matriarch June Carter Cash in the Johnny Cash biopic Walk the Line.
