>Get in loser, we’re going to the movies. 💖 Watch the new trailer for #MeanGirls – only in theatres January 12. #OnWednesdaysWeWearPink
>From the comedic mind of Tina Fey comes a new twist on the modern classic, MEAN GIRLS. New student Cady Heron (Angourie Rice) is welcomed into the top of the social food chain by the elite group of popular girls called “The Plastics,” ruled by the conniving queen bee Regina George (Reneé Rapp) and her minions Gretchen (Bebe Wood) and Karen (Avantika). However, when Cady makes the major misstep of falling for Regina’s ex-boyfriend Aaron Samuels (Christopher Briney), she finds herself prey in Regina’s crosshairs. As Cady sets to take down the group’s apex predator with the help of her outcast friends Janis (Auli’i Cravalho) and Damian (Jaquel Spivey), she must learn how to stay true to herself while navigating the most cutthroat jungle of all: high school.
If I hadn’t known that this was an adaptation of the stage musical adaptation of the original Mean Girls, this trailer does not make that clear. It just looks like a remake with some modernization and some anachronisms. In other words: It’s so not fetch.
There are so many WTF’s here. 1. This is a musical!??!?! 2. It seems literally identical to the original, but with some updated jokes 3. Tina Fey, you surely have other ideas 4. This is a musical!?!

Oh look, a remake we don’t need.
Edit* Apparently this is a musical. Other than one or two split second long scenes of some choreography, there’s pretty much no way of knowing.
The plastics aren’t even good looking at all lol

Why are they barely advertising that it’s a musical?
I haven’t watch the musical broadway but I think this will be closer to that.
i like Renee so i hope it does well. but damn, talk about a high bar to reach
Wait, this trailer was released on a Wednesday… I’m not wearing pink
Terrible trailer for a musical. Letting people actually know it’s a musical would surely be better than whatever this is
I didn’t realize the musical version was even going to be a film. I thought it was for the stage.
I feel like this trailer really failed to establish that this is an adaptation of the musical.

Is this for real ?
Is this supposed to be parody ?
I’m confused.
