Jamie Lee Curtis has revealed she is interested in reprising her role in the 2003 movie Freaky Friday.
Curtis made this revelation while speaking on the ABC talk show The View to promote her latest movie Halloween Ends. She stated, "I've already written to Disney — my friends at Disney, I'm in their new Haunted Mansion movie. I'm 64 years old today — not today, soon, in a month, or whatever. My point is I'm wide open, creatively I am wide open."
Curtis also had ideas about how the sequel should go and she expressed them on the show. She said, "Lindsay Lohan and me back in Freaky Friday. She just made a Christmas movie, I believe, and she got married. … It's all good. Bring it! 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."
Curtis, alongside Lohan, headlined the movie, which also starred Harmon, Harold Gould, and Chad Michael Murray. The movie was based on a Mary Rogers novel of the same name that was published in 1972. Also, it was Disney's third adaptation of the novel. Disney's original adaptation was the 1976 film of the same name which starred Barbara Harris and Jodie Foster as the protagonists. In 1995, Disney made another adaptation. However, this was a television movie and it starred Shelly Long and Gaby Hoffman as the protagonists.
