It is true! ‘Life Size 2’
April 24, 2017
90s kids, listen up! Tyra Banks is officially returning to the movie scene in “Life Size 2,” where she will reprise her role of Eve, a doll that magically comes to life, from the popular Disney Channel movie “Life Size.”
Though the original movie aired on Disney Channel in 2000, it has been reported that “Life Size 2” has been picked up by Freeform, Disney’s sister network. News about the movie moving to Freeform came after some speculation that a sequel with Banks was in the works, which was first reported by Variety in 2015. In an interview with Variety, Banks said “There is no one else who can play Eve but me, thank you very much! I’m just joking with you, but yes, I am going to be Eve.”
In “Life Size 2,” Banks will play the role of Eve, the doll that comes to life, but in the sequel, she has grown up. Now, she is needed to help a young woman learn to live and love again and along the way, Eve herself will experience the ups and downs of real life.
The original movie starred Lindsay Lohan alongside Banks, but there has been no further announcements on casting for “Life Size 2.” Back in 2015, Banks had suggested that Lohan would not come back for another movie, but nothing has been decided about who would be the owner of Eve.
According to Variety, the movie is set to air on Freeform in December 2018 as part of the network’s ever so popular “25 Days of Christmas” programming as it has been described as a “fun, edgy, modern Christmas movie.”
