Renée Rapp is reprising her role as superficial teen queen Regina George in the big-screen adaptation of the “Mean Girls” musical that stormed Broadway in 2018.
But she isn’t singing a word in the first trailer for the film, which arrives in theaters Jan. 12.
Paramount Pictures released the trailer for the movie, promoted as Tina Fey’s “new twist on the modern classic” — the original 2004 film that made stars out of Lindsay Lohan, Rachel McAdams and Amanda Seyfried.
Angourie Rice stars as Cady Heron with Christopher Briney taking on the role of her object of desire, Aaron Samuels. Auli’i Cravalho portrays Regina’s ex-bestie and Cady’s new friend, Janice Ian. 2022 Tony Award nominee and Drama Desk Award winner Jaquel Spivey makes his feature film debut in his role as Janis’ bestie Damien.
Directed by Arturo Perez Jr. and Samantha Jayne, the “Mean Girls” movie will also star Tim Meadows reprising his role from the 2004 film.
Fey, who wrote and portrayed Ms. Norbury in the original screenplay for the original movie, co-wrote the 2018 Broadway musical, which garnered 12 Tony Award nominations.
Jon Hamm, Jenna Fischer, and Busy Philipps join them among the adult cast.
“Emily in Paris” star Ashley Park, who also starred in the 2018 Broadway production, will play North Shore High’s French teacher.
