Mean Girls (12/01/2024)
Since its original release back in 2004, this movie has given us some of the most iconic and well-known phrases, as well as a musical production back in 2018. Therefore, the thought of the Plastics and Aaron Samuel’s returning to our screens 20 years on sounds like a ‘fetch’ start to 2024. Although not an exact remake of the 2004 chic – flick, it focuses more on Tina Fey’s musical adaptation, featuring some of the hit songs. Mean Girls 2024, still follows the story line of Cady (Angourie Rice) who is scouted by the ‘meanest’ clique at North Shore High School, ‘The Plastics’, where she attempts to sabotage queen bee Regina George, played by American singer, Reneè Rapp. So, before buying your tickets, make sure you are wearing pink, or you can’t sit with us!
