Development has begun on Mean Moms, a film based on the sequel to the novel that inspired the 2004 teen comedy Mean Girls.
New Line Cinema is in talks with Offspring Entertainment to bring Mean Moms – a semi-sequel to the Tina Fey-penned 2004 hit Mean Girls – to the big screen.
Mean Moms will be based off Rosalind Wiseman’s 2006 book, Queen Bee Moms and King Pin Dads. That novel is a followup to Wiseman’s successful 2002 work, Queen Bees and Wannabees – the inspiration for SNL alumni Tina Fey’s Mean Girls screenplay.
Like Mean Girls, Mean Moms tells the story of a family that moves into the high class world of the American suburbs. This time – according to Variety – the action will revolve around “a happily married mother of two…faced with confronting the cutthroat world of competitive parenting.”
Aside from Mean Girls star (and now tabloid favorite) Lindsay Lohan (Machete), several of the original cast members – including Rachel McAdams (The Notebook), Amanda Seyfried (Letters to Juliet), and Tina Fey (Date Night) – have done well in the six years since that film came out. None of their characters (or the performers themselves, most likely) will be featured in Mean Moms.
