Actress Lindsay Lohan said she has been “trying so hard” to do a sequel to “Mean Girls,” a 2004 movie starring Lohan and Rachel McAdams as students at a fictional North Shore high school.

“It is not in my hands. I know that (writer) Tina Fey and (producer) Lorne Michaels, all of Paramount (Pictures), everyone’s very busy. But I will keep forcing it and pushing it on them until we do it,” Lohan told CNN Thursday. “I would love to have Jamie Lee Curtis and Jimmy Fallon in the movie. I’ve already written a treatment for it, so I just need a response.”

“Mean Girls,” which was shot mostly in Toronto, has grossed more than $129 million worldwide, according to box-office tracker Box Office Mojo.

Most of the cast didn’t return for the 2011 television movie “Mean Girls 2.” Fey said she is working on a musical adaptation of the original film that is expected to premiere at a Washington, D.C. theater in fall 2017.

It’s unclear if Lohan will have any part in the musical. In the meantime, Lohan told CNN she has been focused on charity work with Syrian refugees in Turkey.
