It’s been 21 years sinceFreaky Fridayreleased, but star Lindsay Lohan has confirmed the long-awaited sequel is still happening.
The film, which co-stars Jamie Lee Curtis, sees a teenager and her mother trade places thanks to magical fortune cookies. In the process, they learn a lot about each other – and grow much closer.
“I don’t want to say too much,” Lohan toldSiriusXM(viaE! Online). “And we’re both excited. I’m gonna speak for Jamie.” However, she remained tight-lipped on a potential timeline for the sequel: “I won’t say that yet.”
Last year,Curtis explained how the sequel came to be in development. “As I went around the world withHalloween Ends, people wanted to know if there was going to be another Freaky Friday,” she commented. “Something really touched a chord. When I came back, I called my friends atDisneyand said, ‘it feels like there’s a movie to be made.'”
The Curtis and Lohan Freaky Friday film is based on the novel of the same name by Mary Rodgers, which was first adapted into a film in 1976.
Curtis, meanwhile, can soon be seen in the upcoming Borderlands film, an adaptation of the video game. She’ll play Dr. Tannis in a cast that features Jack Black, Cate Blanchett, Kevin Hart, and Ariana Greenblatt.
