Mark Waters, who directs Disney's upcoming Freaky Friday, will take the helm of Mean Girls, a comedy co-starring Tina Fey of Saturday Night Live. A Sept. 8 start date is planned.The Paramount project is described as being in the vein of Clueless, and centers on a teenager who grew up abroad. When her family relocates to Chicago and she enrolls in high school, she experiences firsthand how cruel teenagers, particularly girls, can really be. It is based on Rosalind Wiseman's nonfiction book Queen Bees and Wannabees: Helping Your Daughter Survive Cliques, Gossip, Boyfriends and Other Realities of Adolescence. Fey, head writer on SNL and co-host of the sketch comedy show's Weekend Update, also adapted the book.Waters previously directed Head Over Heels and The House of Yes. Freaky, which opens Aug. 6, stars Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsay Lohan.
