Jamie Lee Curtis expresses sincere emotions regarding her role in 'Freaky Friday'
Lindsay Lohan and Jamie Lee Curtis are set to reunite for a long-awaited sequel to the beloved 2003 film, "Freaky Friday." The new film, titled "Freakier Friday," will hit theaters in August 2025, marking a 22-year gap since the original release.
Both actresses have expressed interest in reprising their roles for years, but the official confirmation and production only began around 2024. The delay was due to a combination of factors, including timing, the right creative vision, cast availability, and market conditions favouring a nostalgic sequel release around 2025.
The new film continues the story many years later, with Lohan's character, Anna, now a mother. The plot involves a more complex body-switching plot across multiple family members, adding a multigenerational twist. This likely took time to develop and align with the cast's and studio's schedules.
Lohan, a mother in real life to a two-year-old son named Luai, is bringing her experiences as a mother into the portrayal of Anna in the sequel. She wants Anna to be portrayed as softer, reflecting the softer side of motherhood she has discovered.
Jamie Lee Curtis, who mentioned during an appearance on "Good Morning America" that the demand for a sequel was high, as people worldwide wanted to talk about Lohan and "Freaky Friday," was determined to make the sequel happen. She realized it was appropriate to make the sequel when she understood that Lohan was old enough to have a teenager, even though it would make her character a young mother.
Lohan has a history with Bob Iger, who was the CEO of ABC during her time on "Anything But Love." She mentioned having a conversation with Iger, the former CEO of Disney, about the sequel.
Lohan stated that nothing matters more than her child, and being a mother has opened her eyes to a whole new world. She is incorporating these beliefs into Anna's character in the sequel.
The anticipation for "Freakier Friday" is high, and fans are eagerly waiting to see the iconic duo back on screen. The sequel promises to be a heartwarming and entertaining continuation of the original film.
The long-awaited sequel to the beloved movie, "Freaky Friday," falls under the category of 'movies-and-tv' and 'entertainment,' as it belongs to the realm of cinematic productions designed for public amusement. The new film, "Freakier Friday," is expected to captivate audiences once again, following the same pattern of laughter and heartwarming moments, further highlighting its status as an entertaining medium.
