As reported by The New York Times, Curtis and Lohan are in talks to reprise their roles within the new movie written by Elyse Hollander, however contemplating the eagerness the 2 have had during the last 20 years, I am unable to think about the movie will transfer ahead with out them. “Jamie and I are each open to that, so we’re leaving it within the fingers that be. We’d solely make one thing that folks would completely adore,” she mentioned.
The announcement was a part of the NYT’s 20-year retrospective on the movie, the place Curtis talked about how usually folks would carry up “Freaky Friday” in the course of the press tour for “Halloween Ends.” Disney helped produce a stage musical of the story in 2016, which loosely incorporates beats from the various diversifications of “Freaky Friday,” and later tailored the musical model right into a Disney Channel Authentic Film. Regardless of the a number of movie variations of the story in existence, the 2003 model was the most financially successful, grossing $160 million globally towards a $20 million price range.
“One thing actually touched a chord. After I got here again, I referred to as my mates at Disney and mentioned, ‘It appears like there is a film to be made,'” Curtis instructed The New York Occasions. Curtis received the Academy Award for Finest Supporting Actress for her function in “Every thing In all places All At As soon as” only a few months later, so there is not any doubt in my thoughts that Disney felt rather a lot stronger about greenlighting a movie that might boast “Oscar-winner, Jamie Lee Curtis” onto a poster.
The movie would additionally mark Lindsay Lohan’s return to studio footage following her break from the trade. She most lately nabbed a two-picture deal with Netflix and starred within the vacation rom-com, “Falling for Christmas.”
We will solely hope this sequel consists of one other ripping guitar solo from Jamie Lee Curtis.
