'Freaky Friday' sequel moving ahead, Lindsay Lohan, Jamie Lee Curtis expected to return
Freaky Friday Sequel: Rumours started circulating about a potential sequel in February, when Curtis posted a photo of her and Lohan on Instagram with the caption, "It`s Friday. I`m just sayin! Freaky fingers crossed!"
Freaky Friday Sequel: After two decades, actresses Lindsay Lohan and Jamie Lee Curtis are in talks to reunite for a sequel to the hit body-swap comedy `Freaky Friday`. The sequel is in the works at Disney, with Lohan and Curtis expected to reprise their roles as mother-daughter duo Anna and Tess Coleman. Elyse Hollander, whose work has been featured on the Black List, is penning the script, reports `Variety`.
Based on Mary Rodgers` 1972 novel of the same name, the story was adapted for the screen twice before the 2003 film - in 1976 starring Barbara Harris and Jodie Foster, and in 1995 with Shelley Long and Gaby Hoffman. But the Lohan-Curtis version found the most success, scoring over $160 million at the box office.
Rumours started circulating about a potential sequel in February, when Curtis posted a photo of her and Lohan on Instagram with the caption, "It`s Friday. I`m just sayin! Freaky fingers crossed!"
"It`s going to happen," Curtis elaborated in an interview with Variety at the Producers Guild Awards on February 26. "Without saying there`s anything officially happening, I`m looking at you in this moment and saying, `Of course it`s going to happen.` It`s going to happen."

The news was revealed in a New York Times interview with Lohan and Curtis celebrating the 20th anniversary of the 2003 film, directed by Mark Waters, which follows a mom and daughter who wake up one Friday morning to find they`ve swapped bodies.
"As I went around the world with `Halloween Ends`, people wanted to know if there was going to be another `Freaky Friday`," Curtis told the New York Times. "Something really touched a chord. When I came back, I called my friends at Disney and said, `It feels like there`s a movie to be made`."
Lohan added, "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."
