Celebrating its 10-year anniversary with a spotlight in Entertainment Weekly's 2014 Reunions special double issue, the cast of "Mean Girls" has remained a hot topic over the years with before-and-now editorials and gossip. Perhaps the most welcome news, however, is that Mark Waters, who directed The Plastics to instant pop culture zeitgeist heaven, has signed on to on to helm a comedy called "#Catfight."

EW has confirmed that this could be a come back for Waters, who brought fantasy farce "Freaky Friday" and the coming-of-age fantasy adventure "The Spiderwick Chronicles" to the silver screen. He last directed 2014's satirical fantasy horror flick "Vampire Academy" (critics served the fatal blow with the proverbial stake to the chest.)

"["#Catfight" centers on] Lucy, an insecure high-schooler with a single mom who earns a scholarship to a private high school for her senior year and attempts to reinvent herself by hiding a past she wants to put behind her," Deadline, which broke the news first, reports.
On the day of her recruitment interview for her dream college, Lucy gets an unwelcome visit from her boyfriend's psychotic ex-girlfriend, who's fresh out of juvie and ready for a fight."

Sounds like the perfect popcorn-inhaling movie for bullied goody-two-shoes everywhere.

With a creative team that boasts director Will Gluck ("Easy A," "Fired Up!"), who will produce with his Olive Bridge Entertainment banner, along with Brian Gatewood and Alex Tanaka and a script by newspaper columnist and television writer Amelie Gillette, Waters looks like he's taking the plunge with what could be a must-see teen flick.

It looks like 2015 is shaping up to be a good year for other alumni of the film.

In the midst of penning a musical adaptation of the cult teen comedy film that starred Lindsay Lohan, Rachel McAdams, Lacey Chabert, Amanda Seyfried and Lizzy Caplan -- most them in breakout roles -- "Saturday Night Live" alumni Tina Fey isn't prepping to co-host duties the Golden Globes Awards alongside Amy Poehler, she's crafting her iconic screenplay for the stage alongside "30 Rock" composer and her husband, Jeff Richmond.

Now isn't that so fetch?
