New thread dedicated to Rachel as Regina in Mean girls because we just love her. Hope you don't mind the title. I can change it later if you guys want.

The title is fine, since it's true.

I really liked the interstitials.

I love that close-up shot of her.

Rachel looks so cute in that 3rd picture. She looks so sweet and so out of character.

I came across this & I dunno if anyone's done so already but I thought I'd post it

IGNFF: On the subject of Mean Girls, I loved your performance in that. Your character was one of the great high school...

MCADAMS: [interrupting] Bitches? [Laughs]

IGNFF: [Laughs] Yes, well... What's it like to switch gears so radically from that to this role?

MCADAMS: I had time in between the two to be fair. I was a different person, not completely. By the time I did Mean Girls, I had come through The Notebook experience.

IGNFF: Do you like playing the villain?

MCADAMS: [Smiling widely] Yeah, of course. You don't have to answer to any of your crimes. It's the perfect situation. Being devilish is so fun, it's so delicious.

IGNFF: Did you base Regina George on a person from your past or was she an amalgam of people?

MCADAMS: Yeah. No one specific. I had my own ideas about her, like that she was a Barbie doll on the outside, you know, candy-coated on the outside and horribly destructive on the inside. I liked that juxtaposition and I liked that idea. But I didn't base her on anyone specific. I was on the other end of it when I was in high school. I wasn't necessarily a victim but I certainly wasn't the popular girl. It gave me a different kind of insight into Regina because I had impressions of those girls, but then I had to get inside of it and understand what she was talking about.

IGNFF: So you were in the middle ground in high school?
MCADAMS: I was, probably. I wasn't quite any of them. I think that was part of my problem. I guess I was a floater, but not really. I don't know. I didn't get high school.

IGNFF: Join the club.

MCADAMS: You too, huh?

IGNFF: I was just waiting for college.

MCADAMS: [Laughs] Me too. I was, like, 'Okay, any day now.' I had five years. Not anymore. It sounds funny, 'When I was in high school we went to school for five years.'

IGNFF: And you weren't always up for the part of Regina?

MCADAMS: Originally it was for Katie and I had hesitations about playing Regina because I didn't want it to be another Hot Chick but I thought she was just so much more of a sociopath and it goes so much deeper with Regina.
