[SPOILERS A SEGUIR!]
Before talking in more detail about the film’s cameo, it’s important to say: SPOILER ALERT.
In the third act of the film, the protagonist Cady (Angourie Rice), participates in a mathematics competition against his will. Now, to everyone’s surprise, lindsay lohanwho plays Cady in the 2004 film, appears as the coach in the dispute.
In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Tina Feywho in addition to being a screenwriter, also acted in the two feature films as Professora Norburexplained that the participation of lindsay it was a request from Paramount. Then, Fey added the actress in a short scene, in order not to disturb the progress of the story.
Paramount asked me, ‘Can you bring in the original girls?’, and I said, ‘We can’t fit in five people.’ I wouldn’t even think about choosing someone else for a surprise, the original film is all Lindsay’s. As good as they all are, she is the heart of the story. And I thought, well, what could she do? I didn’t think that [deveria] be a teacher. I was trying to think of something you wouldn’t expect. And just having her do it at the end of the film also feels like it happens, hopefully, at a time when fans weren’t expecting another little surprise. It also allows her to be smart, like Cady is,” Tina Fey said in an interview.
