Yahoo Movies Shut the Front Door! Tyra Banks Just Announced The Coolest 'Life-Size 2' Casting
As if getting a remix of "Be a Star" wasn't enough, Tyra Banks just made a huge Life-Size 2 announcement that'll make you even more excited for the movie. Tyra said filming is already underway and Francia Raisa will play the lead role in the TV movie.
Get the tea straight from the model's Insta:

Francia, who famously donated her kidney to her best friend Selena Gomez, has an impressive acting resume that includes roles on Grown-ish, Dear White People, and The Secret Life of the American Teenager.
Francia will play Grace Manning, the CEO of Marathon Toys, which is the same company that created the Eve doll (Tyra's character). Grace is a wild child who is compromising the company and causing its stock to plummet. There's no word yet on how Tyra will factor in to the film, but it's probably safe to assume there could be more resurrection spells that bring Eve to life, again.
Sadly, it looks like Lindsay Lohan, who wanted a big role in the movie, won't be included, but TBH, she looks like she's living her best life in Greece anyway.
Life-Size 2 will come out in December during Freeform's 25 Days of Christmas programming, and it'll be holiday themed so Eve's signature fire-cracker red nails will look festively appropriate.
