Sally Field Leads Witherspoon To Capitol Hill

Sally FieldSally Field ("ER") is in negotiations to star as Congresswoman Rudd in director Charles Herman-Wurmfeld's "Legally Blonde 2: Red, White & Blonde" opposite Reese Witherspoon, reports The Hollywood Reporter.

Regina King and Luke Wilson also star.

In "Blonde," Field will star as a politico who befriends Witherspoon's Elle Woods and winds up as a mentor to her. The duo's relationship is tested, however, when they must battle it out over a piece of animal rights legislation.

Production is set to begin this month, with Field -- whose dates are still being worked out -- due to begin lensing her part in December.
