Jennifer Aniston in talks for 'Mean Moms'

[remake]

Following the success of last summer’s “We’re the Millers,” Jennifer Aniston is in early talks for “Mean Moms” at New Line.

New Line tapped veteran TV director Beth McCarthy-Miller to helm “Mean Moms” last June. Project was set up in 2010 with Adam Shankman, Jennifer Gibgot and Jill Messick producing for New Line. Shankman and Gibgot are producing through their Offspring banner.

“Mean Moms” will bear some resemblance to Paramount’s 2004 comedy “Mean Girls,” since both are adapted from advice books for parents penned by Rosalind Wiseman. Messick exec produced “Mean Girls” and brought “Mean Moms” to Offspring.

The writing team of Sean Anders and John Morris are rewriting “Mean Moms.” Abby Kohn and Marc Silverstein were tapped in 2012 to rewrite the project.

As with “Mean Girls,” story will start with a family moving to a new town. “Moms” will focus on a happily married mother of two who moves from small-town America to the high-class suburbs, where she faces the cutthroat world of competitive parenting.

When New Line set up “Mean Moms,” it tapped the scripting team of Dara and Chad Creasey to adapt Wiseman’s 2006 tome “Queen Bee Moms & Kingpin Dads: Dealing with the Parents, Teachers, Coaches and Counselors Who Can Make — or Break — Your Child’s Future.”

Wiseman’s 2002 book “Queen Bees and Wannabes: Helping Your Daughter Survive Cliques, Gossip, Boyfriends and the New Realities of Girl World” served as the foundation for Par’s “Mean Girls.”

McCarthy-Miller directed “Saturday Night Live” for over a decade until 2006. She also directed the final episodes of “Mean Girls” scribe Tina Fey’s “30 Rock.”

I remember this being first announced 4 years ago, glad to see it finally taking off. I've been waiting for this to happen. It would've been nice to see Rachel McAdams return as Regina George with kids, but Jennifer Aniston is a good choice.
