Lindsay Lohan anxious for a Mean Girls sequel

Lindsay Lohan is eager to make a follow-up film to ‘Mean Girls,’ and it seems she’s getting hands-on about it.

Widely regarded Lohan’s finest hour from the days when she was best known as an actress rather than a cause célèbre, the 2004 comedy from director Mark Waters and writer/co-star Tina Fey cast the then-18 year old Lohan as a recent high school transfer traversing the perilous waters of adolescent social interactions.

In a Facebook live chat with CNN (via E! Online), Lohan – now aged 30 – reiterated her long-held desire to make a sequel: “I have been trying so hard to do a Mean Girls 2. It is not in my hands.

“I know Tina Fey and (producer) Lorne Michaels and all of Paramount [Pictures] are very busy. But I will keep forcing it and pushing it on them until we do it.”

Lohan went on to declare that she has “already written a treatment for it,” and that she has Jimmy Fallon and her old ‘Freaky Friday’ co-star Jamie Lee Curtis in mind for key roles.

This is hardly out of the blue. In 2014, Lohan spoke out on her ideas for a ‘Mean Girls’ sequel, envisioning “an older version where they’re all housewives and they’re all cheating.”

As well as being a key film in the careers of both Lohan and Fey, ‘Mean Girls’ also gave early breakthrough roles to Rachel McAdams, Amanda Seyfried, and Lizzy Caplan, plus a turn fron Fey’s frequent collaborator Amy Poehler.

It grossed just under $130 million worldwide, and is frequently mentioned on lists of the best high school movies of all time.

A ‘Mean Girls 2’ was made as a TV movie in 2011, but it was more of a low-budget remake than a true sequel, with none of the original cast returning bar Tim Meadows as the Principal.

Lohan has not headlined a movie since 2013 flop ‘The Canyons,’ although 2017 will see her take the lead in werewolf horror ‘The Shadow Within.’
