With Jamie Lee Curtis set to conclude her run as Laurie Strode with this month’s Halloween Ends, it seems like the actress might be ready to reprise another popular role of hers, with the actress expressing a desire to reteam with Lindsay Lohan for another Freaky Friday.
Recently, Jamie Lee Curtis sat down for an interview on The View and somehow she got a word in edgewise, saying, “I’m wide open, creatively I am wide open” to a sequel to the 2003 movie. Curtis seems as hot as ever, and now that Lindsay Lohan is staging a comeback with a two-picture deal with Netflix, this might be an opportune time to capitalize.
Jamie Lee Curtis even has a plot idea for a Freaky Friday sequel (Freaky Saturday?): “I would like to see Lindsay be the hot grandma, and I would like to see me try to deal with toddlers today…Let me be the grandma, let me be the old grandma who switches places, so then Lindsay gets to be the sexy grandma who’s still happy with Mark Harmon…” Harmon played Curtis’ character’s fiancé in the first movie.
Early this month, Jamie Lee Curtis reflected on some of her most famous roles, with Disney’s Freaky Friday being among them. “Freaky Friday was a fabulous movie, also very freeing creatively…You know, being a teenager again, it was super fun. I had a good time with Lindsay. She was terrific.”
Freaky Friday did quite well upon its 2003 release, with a $160 million haul at the box office and high critical praise (it has an 88% on Rotten Tomatoes). Jamie Lee Curtis even earned a Golden Globe nomination, which is still her most recent for a movie.
What do you think? Would Jamie Lee Curtis/Lindsay Lohan reteaming on a Freaky Friday sequel be worthwhile?
