Reese Witherspoon & Dakota Fanning fuel 'Sweet Home Alabama' nostalgia with this Instagram post

"Do you remember what she said?" the 45-year-old actress, entrepreneur and producer wrote in the caption, referring to the scene where her character, Melanie, leaves her swanky fiancé, Andrew (Patrick Dempsey), at the altar and chooses to remain married—even though she hadn't known until recently that they were still married—to her childhood sweetheart, Jake (Lucas).

Dakota Fanning, who played young Melanie, answered in the comments: "The truth is I gave my heart away a long time ago, my whole heart, and I never really got it back."

"Love you, little Melanie!" Witherspoon replied to Fanning.

"I would love to do the sequel," Lucas recently told SiriusXM's Pop Culture Spotlight. "The issue is Reese has got a book club, and I'm saying that laughingly, but Reese—I've heard, like, 'Oh, you can talk to her about stuff five years from now.' You know, she's a mogul."

"And back when I was doing Sweet Home Alabama, I for some reason remember telling the director [Andy Tennant] or somebody, speaking about her, I said, 'I bet this woman ends up running a movie studio one day,'" the 50-year-old actor continued. "And she's even beyond that at this point. She's her own version of Oprah Winfrey now, right? She's as extraordinary."

That wasn't the first time Lucas has addressed the possibility of revisiting the cult classic:

As it stands, we last saw Melanie and Jake on the beach in the pouring rain. Melanie ran to find him and relay that they're still married. He didn't understand why she'd want to stay married to him, but she repeated what he said when they were 10 years old on the same beach and he asked her to marry him: "So I can kiss you any time I want."
