Tina Fey is back with a new spin on the popular teen comedy movie. This time, Cady Heron, the role formerly held previously by Lindsay Lohan, will be taking on “new” friends and enemies.
In this remake of a musical remake of the film, Angourie Rice (Every Day, Honor Society) will take on Lindsay’s mantle as she goes through the hellscape of high school, aptly represented by a trio of ladies called “The Plastics”.
Fey’s new take on the film is a combination of the Tony nominated Broadway musical and the first film. The comedian-actress who also worked as SNL’s senior writer aims to capture the popularity of the first movie. In a separate interview, she talks about how she approached Paramount and their initial disbelief to her pitch.
Fey further elaborates that the movie isn’t purely comical, and that there will be moments the audience can connect to the characters.
Tina Fey also makes an appearance in the movie. Mean Girls Revenge Party is streaming on Netflix.
