Experience the star-studded event: 'On The Red Carpet: Freakier Friday' Special
In the world of cinematic nostalgia, the much-anticipated sequel to the 2003 classic "Freaky Friday," titled "Freakier Friday," is set to grace our screens on August 8.
The star-studded cast, led by Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsay Lohan, is back for another round of body-swapping chaos. The sequel continues the story of Tess Coleman (Curtis) and Anna Coleman (Lohan) from the original film, with Anna now a mother to a teenage daughter.
Lindsay Lohan, returning to the set after nearly two decades, expressed that it felt like no time had passed. Jamie Lee Curtis, on the other hand, mentioned that she feels younger today than she did 22 years ago when they made the original film.
The filming locations for "Freakier Friday" include Pacific Palisades and Altadena in the Los Angeles area, two places that hold a special place in the hearts of "Freaky Friday" fans. However, the California wildfires in January 2021 left an unprecedented path of destruction in Altadena, affecting the filming locations significantly.
The original house where both the first and this new film were shot in Pacific Palisades burned down, leaving the street a vacant lot. A pickleball court featured in the movie, located at the Altadena Town and Country Club, was also destroyed. Many neighborhoods around the beaches and driving routes through Pacific Palisades, captured in the film, were devastated by the fires.
Despite the setbacks, the Pacific Palisades will still be recognizable from the movie "Freaky Friday." Chad Michael Murray, who reprises his role as "Jake" in the new film, noted that the locations still hold the charm that made the original so beloved.
In addition to the theatrical release, a special episode, "On The Red Carpet Presents: Freakier Friday," is available for viewing. This special includes highlights from the world premiere in Hollywood, featuring a performance from the band Pink Slip, as well as interviews with the cast, including Julia Butters, Sophia Hammons, Manny Jacinto, Vanessa Bayer, and Chad Michael Murray.
The special also features a look back at original interviews from when Lohan and Curtis were promoting their first "Freaky Friday" film. This is a must-watch for fans who want a glimpse into the making of the sequel.
So, get ready to witness the magical body-swapping antics of Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsay Lohan once again in "Freakier Friday," hitting theaters on August 8. And for those who can't wait, the special "On The Red Carpet Presents: Freakier Friday" is available now.
