However, it sounds just like the plans have come to a screeching halt – and you may in all probability guess the explanation why. All due to cash.
The outlet claimed that “the negotiations are stalled” proper now after the streamer provided the 4 girls a “disrespectful” wage for returning to the movie. A manufacturing insider claimed:

In the phrases of Gretchen Wieners (considerably), that’s so NOT fetch! Considering these stars helped make the unique film as iconic as it’s right this moment, you’d assume Paramount would give them a greater paycheck!
The insider additionally claimed that Rachel, who portrayed Regina George, was provided a much bigger half within the musical movie than Lindsay, Amanda, and Lacey. However, the deal has not been finalized but. So far, Tina Fey – who wrote the film and musical – is reprising her function as the mathematics trainer Ms. Norbury. Tim Meadows can also be coming again for his half as Principal Duvall. She instructed Seth Meyers final week:
“I do want to give you credit, you and Tim had parts in the original film that you couldn’t age out of. Teachers work forever.”
For her return, Page Six reported that the comic was given a seven-figure deal whereas Lindsay, Amanda, Rachel, and Lacey have been provided a “fraction” of that wage. Oof.
While Tina and Tim are reprising their components, that will not be the case for the foursome. Instead, it was already introduced that Reneé Rapp – who starred within the Broadway present – will probably be returning to painting Regina George. Meanwhile, Angourie Rice, Bebe Wood, and Avantika have been forged as Cady Heron, Gretchen Weiners, and Karen Smith, respectively. It is unknown what components the foursome can be enjoying in the event that they took on the mission. But it doesn’t matter what function it was, one other insider careworn:
“Whether they appear in a cameo appearance or they have six pages of script, it doesn’t matter — [the money offered] is disrespectful.”
Tina beforehand shared that manufacturing for the movie will start on March 6 – whether or not or not Lindsay, Rachel, Amanda, and Lacey will probably be becoming a member of the forged on set is up within the air for now! UGH. We hope Paramount and the actresses can come to some form of settlement as a result of it might be wonderful to see the 4 girls collectively once more!
