We ’re getting someMean Girlsnews and it is n’t even Oct. 3 .
Now, there is probably no movie we’ve written about more on BuzzFeed thanMean Girls. And, I mean, can you blame us? Almost 20 years later, the movie is still an absolute classic and has stood the test of time.
Which is why I have to say that I am actually really, really excited about the upcoming film adaption ofMean Girls: The Musical.
And so far, original cast membersTina FeyandTim Meadowsareconfirmedto reprise their roles as Ms. Norbury and Principal Duvall. But involvement from the rest of the OG cast has beenpretty mum— justspeculationand rumors.
But over the weekend,Jonathan Bennett(aka Aaron Samuels) attended the 34thGLAAD Media Awardsin New York, where he was asked byPeopleif he was involved at all in the upcoming film.
Jonathan replied with the tease, “There’s some talks going on about certain things. Let’s just say that.”
He went on to talk about how much the 2004 movie means to him, saying, “So fun to be a part of a movielike Mean Girls, where so many people have such a good reaction and such a heartwarming feeling when they think about our movie, because it changed their lives in so many ways. It changed my life.”
Jonathan went on to praiseMean Girlsfor being ahead of its time by opening up the discussion about high school bullying: “In a lot of ways, I thinkMean Girlsis the first movie that actually showed what bullying was and brought it to light. But they used comedy with Tina Fey’s amazing writing to be able to talk about it. And I think it was an important movie for so many reasons, but for to bring light to bullying.”
Sadly, he didn’t comment on whether he thought his hair looked better pushed back or not. You can read the entire interview with Jonathan over atPeople.
