It’s been a dozen years since “Mean Girls” hit the big screen, and Lindsay Lohan‘s life and career has certainly seen some interesting peaks and valleys since, with everything from working with directors like Robert Altman, Robert Rodriguez, and Paul Schrader, to grabbing tabloid headlines for all sorts of various reasons. But one thing she’s been eager to do is make a sequel for what is arguably her most treasured and beloved role, even if she has to write it herself.
In a recent chat with CNN (via Vulture), Lohan revealed, she’s written the treatment for “Mean Girls 2,” but now she just needs to convince everyone else to get on board.
“I have been trying so hard to do a ‘Mean Girls 2.’ It is not in my hands,” she said. “I know that [‘Mean Girls’ writer] Tina Fey and [producer] Lorne Michaels and all of Paramount are very busy…I will keep forcing it and pushing it on them until we do it.”
If you’re wondering what the plot might be, a couple years back, Lohan shared her idea for the followup.
“People really love the movie: how do you top that? I was with Tina Fey the other day and I said we should do another ‘Mean Girls,’ like an older version where they’re all housewives and they’re all cheating,” she said in 2014. “That would be really funny.”
I’m not sure about that concept, but you’ve got to admire Lohan’s persistence nonetheless. Check out the full interview with her below.
So, she wants to star in Real Housewives: The Movie and wonders why the likes of Paramount, Lorne Michaels and Tina Fey aren’t stumbling over everyone else in Hollywood to get that future trainwreck in motion.
Normally I wouldn’t question a person’s continued sobriety, but this is making me reconsider.
