Model and actor Tyra Banks reveals her idea forLife-Size 3. The original 2000 TVmovie featured Lindsay Lohanas a young girl named Casey Stuart who, in the wake of her mother’s death, casts a spell to bring her back to life, but accidentally, her doll becomes alive instead.Banks starred as the resurrected doll opposite Lohan’s Casey, with a supporting cast that includes Jere Burns, Anne Marie DeLuise, Garwin Sanford, Tom Butler, and Jillian Fargey. Almost two decades after the original was released,Life-Size2was made in 2018, wherein Banks reprised her role.
Speaking on theDrew Barrymore Show, Banks discussed her idea forLife-Size 3,mentioning that she “feel[s] like [they] should do one.” The actor even had a specific idea for what the third installment could be, posing “what if she [Lindsay Lohan] was a doll?” This wouldinvolve Casey being “magically turned into a doll” in some way. As per Banks,Life-Size 3would go on to explore what would happen if her “Eve character had to teach her how to be a doll.” Check out the full quote from Banks below:
“I feel like we should do one. And I feel likeI’ve been really looking at Lindsay and I feel like, what if she was a doll? What if she, in some kind of way, magically turned into a doll? And then my Eve character had to teach her how to be a doll. I feel like that could be very interesting.”
What This Means For The Life-Size Franchise
Banks' Idea Would ChangeLife-SizeCanon
As of now, thereare no active plans forLife-Size3. If Banks' idea for the film were to happen, however, it would have several significant implications for the franchise. The series would have to bring Lohan back after over two decades since she did not appear in 2018’sLife-Size2. The actor has been having somewhat of a career renaissance in recent years, however, so it is conceivable that she might want to return forLife-Size 3.

Secondly, Banks' idea forLife-Size 3would have to completely change the premise of the franchise. Though the first and second films had different protagonists, both had only one main mechanism for their mystical elements, whichwas bringing the doll Eve to life in human form. The magic in the series has not yet functioned to turn humans into dolls. As a result, Banks’Life-Size 3pitch would have to come up with a good reason why Casey would enter doll form.
Our Take On This Life-Size 3 Pitch
Lohan Has Been Doing Other Sequels
While it is unclear how Banks' pitch could become reality plot-wise, the viability of such a sequel seems pretty good.Lohan’s career comeback has included throwbacks from her earlier career, including her cameo appearance in this year’s musical version ofMean Girls. She is also set to star with Jamie Lee Curtis in theDisney sequelFreakier Friday. Her involvement in these projects shows that Lohan is interested in exploring a nostalgic, bygone era, a tendency that might more readily compel her to do something likeLife-Size 3.
