Paramount Pictures’ “Mean Girls” trailer has arrived, and it’s showing off the updated take on Tina Fey’s modern classic while paying homage to the original 2004 film.
Based on the 12-time Tony-nominated Broadway production, “Mean Girls”, a new student Cady Heron (Angourie Rice) is welcomed into the top of the social food chain by the elite group of popular girls called “The Plastics,” ruled by the conniving queen bee Regina George (Reneé Rapp) and her minions Gretchen (Bebe Wood) and Karen (Avantika).
However, when Cady makes the major misstep of falling for Regina’s ex-boyfriend Aaron Samuels (Christopher Briney), she finds herself prey in Regina’s crosshairs. As Cady sets to take down the group’s apex predator with the help of her outcast friends Janis (Auli’i Cravalho) and Damian (Jaquel Spivey), she must learn how to stay true to herself while navigating the most cutthroat jungle of all: high school.
The actors clearly aren’t opposed to returning to Girl World. Lohan, Chabert, and Seyfried filmed a Walmart+ commercial, released on November 1, that allowed them to reprise their roles as Cady, Gretchen, and Karen respectively.
In the commercial, Gretchen is a mom, Cady is the school guidance counselor, and Karen is a meteorologist.
“The Office” star Jenna Fischer will play Cady’s mom, a role originated by Ana Gasteyer in the original film.
When will the new ‘Mean Girls’ movie be released?
“Mean Girls” the movie musical will be released in theaters on January 12, 2024.
