“We’re gonna make her pay!” Paramount has revealed a final “Revenge Party” trailer for the 2024 update on Mean Girls, a big screen version of the Mean Girls musical from Broadway (which closed in 2020). It’s not really a remake or a reboot, it’s kind of a re-imagining but as a musical even though it borrows the same story from the original 2004 Mean Girls movie. Paramount Pictures Presents, a Broadway Video/Little Stranger Production, arriving in theaters nationwide this January. “You’re invited to the Revenge Party of the year.” Cady Heron is a hit with the Plastics, A-list girl clique at her new school and she makes mistake of falling for Aaron Samuels, the ex-boyfriend of alpha Plastic Regina George. Angourie Rice stars in this as Cady, with an ensemble cast also featuring Auli’i Cravalho, Reneé Rapp, Jaquel Spivey, Avantika, Ashley Park, Bebe Wood, Christopher Briney, Jenna Fischer, Busy Philipps, Tina Fey, and Tim Meadows & Jon Hamm. This is a better trailer than that first teaser, but this still doesn’t look that good.
Here’s the second & final trailer for Arturo Perez Jr & Samantha Jayne’s Mean Girls, found via YouTube:

From the comedic mind of Tina Fey comes a new twist on the modern classic, Mean Girls. 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 schemes 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. Mean Girls (2024) is co-directed by the filmmakers Samantha Jayne (“Quarter Life Poetry”) & Arturo Perez Jr. (also “Quarter Life Poetry”, plus the docs McCartney: Grand Central, Where Have All the Flowers Gone?). The screenplay is written by Tina Fey. Based on the stage musical “Mean Girls” from Broadway (running from 2018 to 2020). Lyrics by Nell Benjamin, book by Tina Fey, music by Jeff Richmond. It’s produced by Lorne Michaels & Tina Fey. Paramount will debut Mean Girls in theaters everywhere starting on January 12th, 2024 this month. Anyone really want to see this?
