Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsay Lohan Reunite for ‘Freakier Friday’

Two decades after gracing screens in the beloved comedy “Freaky Friday,” Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsay Lohan are set to return in the forthcoming film, “Freakier Friday.” The sequel is anticipated to release in theaters on August 8, 2024.

A New Body-Swap Adventure

The original film, a refreshing take on body-swapping comedy, was inspired by the 1972 novel by Mary Rodgers. In “Freaky Friday,” Lohan portrayed Anna Coleman, a teenager who magically exchanges bodies with her mother, Tess Coleman, played by Curtis. This new movie introduces a twist, as both women will swap bodies again, but this time with Anna’s biological daughter and stepdaughter.

Psychic Visions and Nostalgic Connections

The storyline kicks off when the characters consult a psychic, portrayed by Vanessa Bayer, who reveals that their “lifelines” have crossed paths in the past, a notion met with ignorance by the duo. The narrative cleverly includes nods to its predecessor while exploring new dynamics among the characters.

Reflections on the Franchise

In an interview with the New York Times, Curtis expressed her enthusiasm for the project, noting the continued interest in a sequel during her promotional journey with “Halloween Ends.” “When I came back, I called my friends at Disney and said, ‘It feels like there’s a movie to be made,’” she stated.

Lohan echoed Curtis’s sentiments, emphasizing their readiness to create a film that would resonate with fans: “Jamie and I are both open to that, so we’re leaving it in the hands that be. We would only make something that people would absolutely adore.”

Supportive Cast

The film features a diverse cast, including Mark Harmon, Rosalind Chao, Chad Michael Murray, Manny Jacinto, Julia Butters, Sophia Hammons, and Maitreyi Ramakrishnan. Their involvement is expected to add depth and new energy to the beloved franchise.
