'September 5' Covers Its Streaming Date

Posted by on
  Have a few Munich knacks. Paramount announced on Monday morning that Best Original Screenplay Oscar and Critics Choice nominee September 5 is headed to Paramount+ tomorrow, Tuesday February 25 in the United States and Canada. International rollout will, as usual, be revealed at a later date, but it never quite gets the coverage the domestic arrival to the platform does. The film was first given a limited release on December 13, and considering Sony Pictures ’s Saturday Night ’s limited release on September 27 was what brought it to Sony’s typical 120-day window for its films when it landed on Netflix on January 25 despite a wide release on October 11, it’s clearly the best way to gauge speed. And for Paramount’s 2024 slate, it’s actually a pretty slow 74 days, as even Sonic the Hedgehog 3 demonstrated a week ago that everyone else tends to be around 60 days, with a few films going 53.

'Mean Girls' Musical Movie Adds Jenna Fischer And Busy Philipps

Posted by on


These aren't just regular moms, they're movie character moms. And that's pretty cool. Jenna Fischer and Busy Philipps have joined the cast of Mean Girls, the movie adaptation of the Tony-nominated Broadway musical based on the beloved 2004 film starring Lindsay Lohan. The film will be released straight to Paramount+. Essentially, Mean Girls is following the path of Hairspray, starting as a non-musical, adapted into one for Broadway, which debuted there in 2018, and then that musical gets a film adaptation

Fischer, best known as Pam Beesly on The Office for all nine seasons from 2005 to 2013, in fact, her rewatch podcast with co-star Angela Kinsey, Office Ladies, just released a two-parter on "Goodbye Michael". She will be playing Ms. Heron, the mother of Cady Heron (played by Honor Society's Angourie Rice). Mama Heron's first name in the original film was Betsy and was played by Ana Gasteyer. Philipps, best known for her roles in Freaks and Geeks, Cougar Town, and her current series Girls5Eva, is also playing a role originated by a Saturday Night Live alum. She has been cast as Regina George's mother (first name June in the original film), the role originated by Amy Poehler. Mrs. George was the tryhard mom trying to keep up with what's cool with her daughter, leader of the popular girls' clique The Plastics.

In the stage productions, both roles were played by the same actress, who would also play Ms. Norbury. In the new film, Tina Fey, who wrote the original film and the musical's book (the equivalent of the screenplay) will reprise the role as she played in the 2004 film. She is also writing this version. The cast also includes Tim Meadows reprising from the film as Principal Duvall, Reneé Rapp reprising Regina George from the Broadway production, and the newly-involved Auli’i Cravalho as Janis Ian, Jaquel Spivey as Damian, Avantika, Christopher Briney and Bebe Wood. Arturo Perez and Samantha Jayne are the directors as principal photography begins Monday in New Jersey.
