: DISNEY DROPS 'FREAKIER FRIDAY' TRAILER

March 14, 2025

(CNN) โ€” This summer is about to get โ€œFreakier.โ€

More than 20 years after they starred in the hit film โ€œFreaky Friday,โ€ Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsay Lohan have reprised their roles in a trailer for the upcoming film, โ€œFreakier Friday.โ€

The 2003 movie, based on the 1972 novel of the same name written by Mary Rodgers, starred Lohan as Anna Coleman, a girl who ends up magically swapping bodies with her mother Tess Coleman, played by Curtis.

This time around, the characters visit a psychic played by โ€œSaturday Night Liveโ€ alum Vanessa Bayer. She tells them that their โ€œlifelinesโ€ have โ€œintersected before,โ€ something the two women acts as if they are clueless about.

They have swap bodies again, but this time with Annaโ€™s biological daughter and stepdaughter.

And while the sequel may be a new story, there are still nods to the original.

The pair spoke with the New York Times in 2023 about the 20th anniversary of the popular family movie and confirmed that they were both interested in participating in Disneyโ€™s sequel.

โ€œAs I went around the world with โ€˜Halloween Ends,โ€™ people wanted to know if there was going to be another โ€˜Freaky Friday,โ€™โ€ Curtis told the publication. โ€œSomething really touched a chord. When I came back, I called my friends at Disney and said, โ€˜It feels like thereโ€™s a movie to be made.โ€™โ€

โ€œJamie and I are both open to that, so weโ€™re leaving it in the hands that be,โ€ Lohan agreed at the time. โ€œWe would only make something that people would absolutely adore.โ€

Mark Harmon, Rosalind Chao, Chad Michael Murray, Manny Jacinto, Julia Butters, Sophia Hammons, and Maitreyi Ramakrishnan round out the cast for the film, set to debut in theaters on August 8.
