In January 2024, Paramount Pictures will release a new film adaptation of Mean Girls which will have musical elements. By the time it is released, 20 years will have passed between the release of the original film and this new installment.
This recent version features the return of Tina Fey both as a writer and producer, and a member of the cast, reprising her role as Ms. Norbury. In a featurette recently shared with the audience, Fey, along with the rest of the cast, explain what we can expect from this musical comedy, which has integrated music and new jokes to delight the public. “A modernized version but at the same time winks at the original,” explains Fey.
