Jamie Lee Curtis is so passionate about making a Freaky Friday 2, she's already written to Disney pitching various ideas for the potential sequel.
Jamie Lee Curtis has been writing letters to Disney about the possibility of a Freaky Friday 2. In 1976, Disney took the rather obscure children's novel Freaky Friday by Mary Rodgers and adapted it into a comedy feature film starring Jodie Foster and Barbara Harris. The film immediately became a classic and was even nominated for three Golden Globes. The plot centers around a woman and her teenage daughter who do not see eye to eye and view the other as having a better life.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY While written as a one-off, Freaky Friday continued to be one of Disney's recognizable IPs. In 1995, a TV movie remake was produced, followed by a 2003 theatrical remake starring Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsay Lohan. In 2018, a Disney Channel Original Movie remake was produced that was based on the 2016 musical production. Despite this, the 2003 version is considered the most memorable of them all due to the performances of the two leads.
I’ve already written to Disney, my friends at Disney... creatively I am wide open... 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 in all the ways you would be happy with Mark Harmon... I would like to see Lindsay be the hot grandma, and I would like to see me try to deal with toddlers today. I want to be a helicopter parent in today’s world.
Jamie Lee Curtis' Enthusiasm Is Good News For Freaky Friday 2 Curtis became a breakout star with the horror film Halloween, which cemented her as the Scream Queen. Over time, she started to venture off into doing other film projects and genres, cementing herself as an iconic actor in her own right. Curtis has continued to express interest in doing smaller projects, and her enthusiasm for making Freaky Friday 2 shows her commitment to the film.
The fact that Curtis and Disney have had conversations about Freaky Friday 2 is great news for fans of the original film. In recent years, Disney has been open to producing more content based around older IPs, from the recent Hocus Pocus 2 to the upcoming Sister Act 3. These feature films also have the added benefit of bringing back actors and allowing them to breath new life into their characters.
