Jamie Lee Curtis And Lindsay Lohan Officially Back For Freaky Friday 2

Long since circling in the rumoursphere before Disney confirmed it was in development last year, a sequel to 2003 body-swap comedy Freaky Friday took a big step forward with the hiring of Nisha Ganatra to direct the reunion of Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsay Lohan. The pair would return as mother-daughter duo Tess and Anna Coleman.

Though The Hollywood Reporter brings word of Ganatra (who has worked on the small screen likes of Welcome To Chippendales and movies including Late Night) boarding to direct and that Dollface's Jordan Weiss wrote the most recent draft of the script, few other details have emerged. It'll clearly have more body-swap chaos (and there are hints of other generations in the Coleman family involved this time), but we're going to have to wait and see how it all goes down.

While Curtis and Lohan are both listed as "in talks," they seem pretty much committed to coming back, and the former posted a snap of their pair together referencing new movie:

The cameras should be rolling in the summer. And this one, of course, has its roots further back than the 2003 movie, since that itself was a remake of the 1976 incarnation (which starred Barbara Harris as the mother and Jodie Foster as the daughter) and all spring from the original 1972 children’s book by Mary Rogers. Disney has done well out of those rights, with a TV movie version and a Broadway musical take all already out in the world.
