“It’s more fun, it’s more emotional, and it’s all for you guys,” Lohan told the audience at the Honda Center during Disney’s Entertainment Showcase. “Seriously, the only reason we are back here doing this because of your love. That is why.”
Curtis added that “it feels like picking up where we left off, which is really beautiful.”
As they spoke, a few behind-the-scenes photos were shown on the massive screen, including a recreation of the iconic moment where Lohan and Curtis’ mother-daughter duo realize they’re body swapped in the original film.
Mark Harmon, Chad Michael Murray, Christina Vidal Mitchell, Haley Hudson, Lucille Soong, Stephen Tobolowsky and Rosalind Chao are all set to return for the sequel to the 2003 $160.8M grossing global family pic. It will also star Sophia Hammons, Maitreyi Ramakrishnan, and Jordan E. Cooper as new additions.
Nisha Ganatra (The High Note, Late Night) is directing. Kristin Burr and Andrew Gunn are producing. Jordan Weiss penned the screenplay.
The Mark Waters-directed early millennium movie followed an overworked mother and her daughter who do not get along. When they switch bodies, each is forced to adapt to the other’s life for one freaky Friday. The movie was a reboot of the 1976 Disney movie starring Jodie Foster and Barbara Harris.
Freakier Friday will hit theaters nationwide in 2025.
