This morning brings about the first trailer for the new Mean Girls film, which looks like a lot more fun than we could have hoped for.
I like Mean Girls, though I’m not a huge fan of musicals. While I think it’s a tad soon for any sort of remake/reboot on the original film (which still holds up), I can’t deny that this first trailer is pretty damn great.
It just looks…fun. The characters are familiar with some modern twists, and the humor looks to still be on point. Consider my curiosity piqued.
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 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.
Mean Girls hits theaters on January 12, 2024.
