The author of the book which inspired the movie ‘Mean Girls’ has claimed that she hasn’t profited from its huge success, reports mirror.co.uk.
Wiseman was approached by Fey after publishing her book ‘Queen Bees’ and ‘Wannabes’ in 2002.
After obtaining the film rights, Tina went on to adapt it into the hit movie released in 2004 starring Lindsay Lohan.
It also featured ‘Queen Bee’ and head of ‘The Plastics’ Rachel McAdams as the ultimate mean girl, Regina George.
While the film went on to gross $130 million at the box office, Wiseman claims she was paid $400,000. The movie has since become a franchise and is now a Broadway and West End musical, which is also set to be turned into another movie.
