Freaky Friday sequel is in the works; fans of Fridays that are freaky rejoice
Twenty years ago this summer, Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsay Lohan cracked open magical fortune cookies and carved their way into millennial movie history in Disney’s 2003 remake of the 1976 film. Crazy Friday. Beloved for Curtis and Lohan’s incredible gift for playing each other, it’s become the definitive version of the story, inspiring surprising homages and perhaps even getting a sequel.
The news comes through a New York Times interview with memorials of Curtis and Lohan Crazy Friday‘s milestone birthday (the film was released on August 6, 2003). In the feature film, which is worth a full read, the two talk about how their time in the movie inspired a true friendship, as the two kept in touch despite never starring in a movie together again.
The Times also reports that Disney is currently developing a sequel written by up-and-coming writer Elyse Hollander, with Curtis and Lohan in talks to return. Plot details remain sparse, but modern Lohan and Curtis playing each other seems to be a good time, whatever the reason. My only suggestion: maybe fortune cookies aren’t the reason this time.
