"Cady Heron is a hit with the Plastics, A-list girl clique at her new school and she makes mistake of falling for Aaron Samuels, ex-boyfriend of alpha Plastic Regina George," the film's synopsis on IMDb reads.
The release of the trailer comes shortly after members of the original cast reunited for a Black Friday commercial for Walmart. On Wednesday, November 1st, actresses Lindsay Lohan, Amanda Seyfried, and Lacey Chabert starred in the store's advertisement for their upcoming Black Friday deals which riffed on several scenes from the iconic 2004 rom-com. "Some things never change," Lohan says in a voiceover. "On Wednesdays we wear pink, but now we shop Walmart Black Friday deals."
Back in February, Seyfried said that all four of the original actresses were into having cameos in the upcoming Mean Girls musical film. "It's not it's not really up to us, is it?" Seyfried said at the time. "All four of us are 100% into it." As for how the original cast would return to the film, the actress has some ideas. "Maybe the mothers of our characters?" she mused. "That's what I was thinking, but listen, I have not even seen the script."
