The original Mean Girls film \u2013 which was released two decades ago in 2004 \u2013 has become one of the most beloved teen comedies of all time, quoted more than just about any other film released in the 21st century.<\/p>\n
Now a\u00a0new version<\/a>\u00a0is preparing to launch in UK cinemas, this time based on the Broadway musical which opened in 2017 and was itself adapted from the film.<\/p>\n Tina Fey is back as the film\u2019s screenwriter so it\u2019s no surprise that, songs aside, the script sticks very closely to the original version \u2013 with most of the iconic lines such as \u201cOn Wednesday\u2019s we wear pink\u201d and \u201cStop trying to make fetch happen\u201d still intact.<\/p>\n But, of course, one change that naturally has to be made given the 20-year gap is recasting the lead roles, with the likes of Angourie Rice, Rene\u00e9 Rapp and Auli\u02bbi Cravalho stepping into the cast<\/a> to replace Lindsay Lohan and co.<\/p>\n Although she won\u2019t appear in the main role, however, there had been some rumours ahead of release that Lohan might have some involvement in the film \u2013 especially after she appeared at the premiere.<\/p>\n So is she in the film? Read on for everything you need to know.<\/p> Yes!<\/strong> Although Lohan does not have a main role in the film, she does<\/em> make a surprise cameo appearance towards the end of the film which will surely delight fans of the original.<\/p>\n Lohan appears during the Illinois Mathletes competition between North Shore High School and their rivals Marymount, with the former Cady Herron star playing the moderator of the contest.<\/p>\n And Lohan even makes a joke that references her previous part \u2013 telling the new version of Cady that she can\u2019t possibly have any knowledge of her life and experiences \u2013 while when the competition ends in a draw she cheekily notes: \u201cThis has only happened once before.\u201d<\/p>\n Mean Girls was one of many roles that made Lohan a household name in her teens after leading parts in The Parent Trap and Freaky Friday. After a long break, she made a return to film acting last year with the Netflix festive flick Falling for Christmas, while her next big screen appearance will be a lead role in the upcoming fantasy romcom Irish Wish, which also stars Downton Abbey<\/a>\u2018s Ed Speleers and Outlander<\/a> star Alexander Vlahos.<\/p>\n Aside from Tina Fey and Tim Meadows, who reprise their roles as Ms Norbury and Principal Duvall, none of the other original stars such as Rachel McAdams, Amanda Seyfried or Lizzy Caplan return this time around.<\/p>\n In April last year, McAdams revealed that she would have loved to take part but she couldn\u2019t \u201csee a way to shoehorn us in\u201d<\/a> and she reiterated this in December.<\/p>\n \u201cTina and I sort of dabbled with a few ideas, but it was tough to make it all work in the end,\u201d she told Variety<\/a>. \u201cI was really down for whatever she wanted to do. I think the direction it went in will be fantastic and I cannot wait to see it.\u201d<\/p>\n While no other stars from the first film appear, Emily in Paris and Beef<\/a> star Ashley Park notably appears in a small role as North Shore\u2019s French teacher Madame Park, having previously originated the role of Gretchen Wieners in the Broadway musical.<\/p>\n And there is one other notable cameo, with rapper Megan Thee Stallion \u2013 who features with Rene\u00e9 Rapp on the credits song Not My Fault \u2013 appearing during some of the social media montages that are included in the film.<\/p> Is Lindsay Lohan in Mean Girls 2024?<\/strong><\/h2>\n
