Paramount has announced a platform shift for the upcoming “Mean Girls” musical movie.
The movie, a reimagining of the Broadway musical adaptation of the 2004 teen comedy "Mean Girls", was initially set to debut on Paramount+ but will now get a wide theatrical release on January 12, 2024.
The Tony-nominated Broadway musical and the 2004 teen comedy follows teenager Cady Heron, who moves from Africa with her scientist parents to the suburbs of Illinois, where she gets swept up in the dynamics of her new high school’s social hierarchy. She falls in with a popular clique known as The Plastics.
Reneé Rapp, Angourie Rice, Jaquel Spivey, and Auli’i Cravalho star in the new “Mean Girls” movie.
Rapp played Regina George in the Broadway musical and reprises her role, while Rice, Spivey, and Cravalho will play Cady, Damian, and Janis, respectively.
The cast also features Tina Fey and Tim Meadows, who return from the first film, as well as Jenna Fischer, Busy Philipps, Avantika, Mahi Alam, Christopher Briney, Bebe Wood, Ashley Park, Connor Ratliff and Jon Hamm.
Arturo Perez and Samantha Jayne direct from a script by Fey, who penned the original film and stage musical. The music is by Jeff Richmond with lyrics from Nell Benjamin.
