Originally a star vehicle for Lindsay Lohan, the 2004 movie was comedy icon Tina Fey’s first screenplay and went on to become a cultural touchstone.

The movie spawned Walmart commercials; a tribute from pop star Ariana Grande in the music video for her song “Thank u, next;” a Tony-nominated Broadway musical and, just this year, a mashup of the original movie and the Broadway show in the theatrical release “Mean Girls” with a cameo by none other than Lohan as well as Lehigh Valley native Amanda Seyfried who played Karen Smith in the original 2004 film.

Based on the 2002 book “Queen Bees and Wannabes: Helping Your Daughter Survive Cliques, Gossip, Boyfriends, and the New Realities of Girl World” by Rosalind Wiseman, according to Fey, the original movie was and remains a hit.

Fey first encountered the book through an article in the New York Times, she said in a recent interview.

“It’s about relational aggression, which is what they call it when girls mess with each other,” Fey said in a television interview on “Sunday Today” with Willie Geist in the run-up to new film’s release in January.

The updated version debuted at No. 1 its opening weekend Jan. 12.

The film looks in on the life of Cady Heron, home schooled by her parents who are scientists, as she enters the world of cliques, toxic gossip and popularity that is high school.
