Tyra Banks is going to reprise her role as a Barbie doll named Eve on a "Life-Size" sequel. "There is no one else that can play Eve but me, thank you very much!" the model/actress spills to Variety. "I'm just joking with you, but yes, I am going to be Eve."
"Life-Size 2" is developed as a Disney Channel original movie. Is there any other cast who will return for the second installment? "We have not talked about casting at all so I have no idea who is going to be the young person that will be the owner of Eve. We haven't gotten to that," Banks says.
In the first film, Eve was owned by a young girl named Casey who was played by Lindsay Lohan. She accidentally brought the doll to life when attempting to cast a spell to resurrect her late mother.
The sequel has been in the works for a long time. "One thing is it's a very precious project to the Disney Channel so they've been doing a lot of re-writes and making sure that this script is really right," Banks explains. She serves as an executive producer and says it's eying a 2016 premiere.
