“It’s the best of both worlds”, from the mind of original writer Tina Fey comes a musical twist on the ever-pink “Mean Girls”

After the 2004 classic Mean Girls, came the stage musical. After Broadway, Tina Fey then set her sights on retelling the iconic high school comedy in the era of social media, in an exciting musical film adaptation that captures both the spirit of the original and the musical.

“With all this great music, we are still able to live with our characters in a close-up, to have new jokes and new moments that will surprise people who love the original and also delight a whole new audience,” Fey shares. Lorne Michaels, producer of the original 2004 film and the stage musical (and a frequent collaborator of Fey’s since their days on Saturday Night Live in the ’90s), is also on board for the new musical film version. “I have what I think is a reasonable bias against anything being remade,” Michaels, who was initially hesitant about revisiting Mean Girls, explains. “But I saw that a different version of the story could have the same kind of impact.”

The Beatles' “Now and Then” is the heart of the soundtrack of “Argylle,” Matthew Vaughn’s latest action-packed, star-studded spy movie

At the heart of Argylle’s soundtrack and score is the just released new, and final, song from The Beatles, “Now and Then.” 

In Argylle, Bryce Dallas Howard is Elly Conway, the reclusive author of a series of best-selling espionage novels, whose idea of bliss is a night at home with her computer and her cat, Alfie. But when the plots of Elly’s fictional books – which center on secret agent Argylle and his mission to unravel a global spy syndicate – begin to mirror the covert actions of a real-life spy organization, quiet evenings at home become a thing of the past. Accompanied by Aidan (Sam Rockwell), a cat-allergic spy, Elly (carrying Alfie in her backpack) races across the world to stay one step ahead of the killers as the line between Elly’s fictional world and her real one begins to blur. The cast includes Henry Cavill, John Cena, Bryan Cranston, Catherine O’Hara, Samuel L. Jackson, Ariana DeBose and Dua Lipa.
