Mean Girls was a pretty perfect movie that still holds up. Not sure why a remake was necessary in the first place

I just learned in this headline it was a musical, which opens up a new thought.

I think this is a movie adaptation of the mean girls musical on Broadway, which was an adaptation of the movie.

We've come full circle.

Now we need Broadway show of this one.

The original movie was an adaptation of a book, too.

It’s been a successful touring show for a few years, plenty of people can’t afford to go to live performances, easy choice for an adaptation since it’s basically already made.

Meanwhile, The Book of Mormon and Hamilton go unmade.

You can watch Hamilton right now. It's in Disney + in the USA.

I can also watch it on pornhub, it is still a filming of a theater performance and not a movie musical.

I’d buy the Book of Mormon on Laserdisk if that was the only format they released it in

Because Hollywood is out of ideas and put their writers on strike for the better part of the last year.
