The 2003 film featured Lohan and Oscar-winner Jamie Lee Curtis in the entertaining tale of a body-switching mother-daughter duo.
Exciting news emerged in 2023 with confirmation of a sequel in the works, and Lohan shared updates on the movie’s progress.
In an interview with US magazine People, she expressed her enthusiasm to reunite with Jamie, saying, “I’m just thrilled to collaborate with Jamie again and see how far we can push the boundaries.”
“We’re in touch almost every day, so I know we’re going to have a blast!” Lohan eagerly mentioned that working with Curtis again is something she looks forward to, and although the new film is in development, details on filming dates and the script remain a mystery.
Curtis, inspired by fans’ interest, reached out to Disney about a sequel, recalling the strong impact the original movie had on audiences worldwide during her Halloween Ends tour.
She reminisced, “People kept asking about another Freaky Friday. It struck a chord. When I returned, I got in touch with my pals at Disney and said, ‘There’s potential for a new movie here’.”
Freaky Friday, a whimsical story of a mother and daughter swapping bodies due to a magical Chinese fortune cookie, draws from Mary Rodgers’ 1972 novel.
The 2003 version marks the third adaptation, following earlier portrayals by Jodie Foster with Barbara Harris and Shelley Long with Gaby Hoffman.
Starring alongside Curtis and Lohan, the film also included Mark Harmon from NCIS, Chad Michael Murray from One Tree Hill, and the late Willie Garson from Sex And The City.
