Lindsay Lohan and Jamie Lee Curtis "in talks" for Freaky Friday sequel

In fact, Curtis apparently helped kick off the sequel plans, telling the Times that, while she was doing global press for Halloween Ends, “people wanted to know if there was going to be another Freaky Friday.” (We have never personally met people harboring this deep-seated wish, but we’re also not Jamie Lee Curtis, so who knows.) In any case, when she got back from said press tour, “I called my friends at Disney and said, ‘It feels like there’s a movie to be made.’” And Disney, which never met a popular property from the childhoods of the key demo it wouldn’t cheerfully exploit, clearly agreed: The New York Times piece states that “Disney confirmed that a sequel was in development, with Elyse Hollander writing the screenplay.”

The biggest question mark is, of course, Lohan, who has worked only sporadically over the last decade, most notably with a lead in a Netflix Christmas film, Falling For Christmas, last year. When asked about the possible sequel (in a separate interview than the one with Curtis, although the two apparently still keep in touch), Lohan said, “Jamie and I are both open to that, so we’re leaving it in the hands that be. We would only make something that people would absolutely adore.”
