This is so fetch! "Mean Girls," the smash musical that's showed no signs of slowing down since it opened nearly two years ago, is being turned into a feature film to be written and co-produced by Tina Fey.
The "30 Rock" Emmy winner penned the book for the musical as well as the screenplay for the 2004 nonmusical film that starred Merrick- and Cold Spring Harbor-raised actress Lindsay Lohan. “I’m very excited to bring 'Mean Girls' back to the big screen," Fey said in a statement. "It's been incredibly gratifying to see how much the movie and the musical have meant to audiences. I've spent 16 years with these characters now. They are my Marvel Universe and I love them dearly.”
Lorne Michaels of "Saturday Night Live" fame will co-produce. Casting and additional details will be announced at a later date.
