Evan Rachel Wood set the record straight during her appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, and in hindsight, I would imagine that she’s wishes she would have taken the Mean Girls role.
Provided that Fey’s next project isn’t about a “robot uprising,” Wood is all in on a collaboration.
I can understand Wood at the time not wanting to star in two high school-set movies at the time, since there’s no way should could have predicted that Mean Girls would be so successful.
While Mean Girls opened wide to the public in 2004, earned many positive reviews and made $129 million off a $17 million budget, Pretty Persuasion, which came out in 2005, opened in select theaters was was met with mostly negative reception.
