(Netflix, for instance, just rolled out its version of Matilda<\/em><\/span>.) This new movie is being directed by Arturo Perez and Samantha Jayne, with a script from Fey. (No word on whether she’ll reprise her role from the original film\u2014or, for that matter, whether the film will maintain the musical’s conceit of casting the part of Cady and Regina’s moms, and <\/em>Fey’s old role, helpful teacher Ms. Norbury, with the same actor.)<\/p>\nIn addition to her Spider-Man duties, Rice also recently starred in this year’s Paramount+ movie Honor Society<\/em><\/span>. Rapp currently co-stars on Mindy Kaling’s HBO Max series The Sex Lives Of College Girls<\/em><\/span>. No word on when the movie version of the Mean Girls <\/em>will be finished, but when it is, it’s expected to debut on Paramount+.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n .<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
