“I was on set filming at the time and Jamie Lee Curtis writes you, you just get excited and distracted immediately,” she recalled. “So I had to bring myself down to Earth and be like, ‘OK, I’m on set, I have to focus.’ And then she said Freaky Friday 2 and I got more excited…We would both be into it.”
Jamie Lee Curtis’ Idea For Freaky Friday 2
The actress appeared on The View recently and shared her thoughts for the future of the body-swapping movies. It feels like this sort of play for Millenial nostalgia would fit right into Disney’s larger efforts in that department recently. There’s a Mighty Ducks series on Disney+ right now and Hocus Pocus 2 absolutely crushed on streaming as well. You could bet that aging kids of the 90s would be grabbing their remotes and tuning in for whatever the creative team came up with.
“Let me be the grandma! Let me be the old grandma who has to take care—who switches places,” Curtis said. “So then Lindsay gets to be the sexy grandma, who’s still, you know, happy with Mark Harmon in all the ways you would be happy with Mark Harmon … And simply, I would like to see Lindsay be the hot grandma, and I would like to see me try to deal with toddlers—today. I wanna be a helicopter parent in today’s world as an old lady.”
