ComingSoon spoke with Mean Girls (2024) directors Samantha Jayne and Arturo Perez Jr. about the musical movie adaptation.
“New student Cady Heron 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 and her minions Gretchen and Karen,” reads’s synopsis. “However, when Cady makes the major misstep of falling for Regina’s ex-boyfriend Aaron Samuels, she finds herself prey in Regina’s crosshairs.
You both brought up Tina Fey earlier, and she obviously wrote the screenplay and reprises her role. When you’re doing a twist on something that’s as beloved as Mean Girls, how much did it mean to have her full support and have that co-sign throughout filming? I imagine there’s some pressure with doing something as sacred as Mean Girls and putting your own twist on it.It’s everything. I feel so humbled to have also worked with Paul McCartney, and those are two legends.
And we’re like, “If Karen’s really good at anything, she would just crush a ‘Get Ready With Me’ video.” It was our dream to do it that way from the beginning. So just seeing it come to life and building … I think it was fun. One of the editors would call it Mount Sexy. . Because we had dozens of boxes of these dancers and these social media personalities doing this dance and cutting it all together in like a fun dynamic way. That was a lot of fun.Yeah, Mrs. George is trying to follow along.
