So Fetch! Lindsay Lohan Gunning for MEAN GIRLS 2 with Tina Fey
By: Movies News Desk Dec. 29, 2016
Just call her Cady Heron - Lindsay Lohan is gunning for MEAN GIRLS 2. Not the 2011 ABC Family sequel - but an official follow-up with the movie's original creator Tina Fey.
The actress told CNN during a Facebook Live session that she has already written a treatment for the film. "I just need a response. I know Mark Waters, the director; he'd happily come back," she said.
"I have been trying so hard to do a Mean Girls 2. It is not in my hands. I know that Tina Fey and Lorne Michaels and all of Paramount are very busy," Lohan said. "But I will keep forcing it and pushing it on them until we do it."
Lohan also told CNN she "would love to have Jamie Lee Curtis and Jimmy Fallon" in the movie.
Rachel McAdams (the original Regina George) has said she would return if Fey were on board, and Daniel Franzese (who played "almost too gay to function" Damian) urged Lohan on Twitter to push for a sequel.
At the MEAN GIRLS 10th anniversary reunion in 2014, Fey told Entertainment Weekly it was "too late now" for a sequel. No word on whether her feelings have changed.

As previously announced, a MEAN GIRLS musical is currently in development and aiming to hit the stage in time for - or ahead of - its 15th anniversary in 2019. Fey and her husband, composer Jeff Richmond are on board to write the book and score; lyrics are by Nell Benjamin. Broadway helmer Casey Nicholaw is set to direct and choreograph a highly anticipated developmental lab in April, with musical director Mary Mitchell Campbell.
The 2004 feature film MEAN GIRLS was written by Fey and followed the new girl in town, Cady Heron, and her attempt to navigate the cliques of high school, including 'The Plastics,' led by Regina George. The film starred Lindsay Lohan, Rachel McAdams, Amanda Seyfried (in her film debut), and featured Fey. It was a box office success, grossing $129,042,871 worldwide.
