BBG News

I can’t contain my excitement! Ever since the official trailer for Disney’s Freaky Friday dropped on Friday, I’ve been hearing the same buzz among fellow fans – it looks fantastic! Can’t wait to see this modern twist on a classic tale unfold on the big screen. 🚀🎬✨

In the upcoming film, which serves as a continuation of the 2003 release titled “Freaky Friday,” both Lindsay Lohan, now 38 years old, and Jamie Lee Curtis, aged 66, will revisit their initial characters, along with Chad Michael Murray.

In the trailer, it’s shown that Freaky Friday adopts a storyline similar to its original film, where Lohan and Curtis’ characters exchange their physical forms – however, there’s a major surprise in store.

Users of social media platforms promptly expressed their opinions about the movie trailer, scheduled for release in cinemas on August 8 this summer.

Why is it necessary to spend excess amounts of money, time, and creative abilities to produce the same film once more?

One person wrote, ‘In an era filled with unnecessary remakes and follow-ups, this could possibly be the most disappointing one.’ Another commented, ‘This sequel seems to exceed my personal preference. I’d rather rewatch the original movie instead.’ (Or)

One individual penned, ‘We’re in a time of redundant retreads and repetitive sequels, and this might take the cake as the least appealing one.’ Another added, ‘This follow-up appears to be too much for my taste. I prefer sticking with the original film.’ (Or)

One user wrote, ‘In an age dominated by senseless remakes and spinoffs, this could very well be the most unattractive option.’ Another stated, ‘This sequel looks overly excessive for my liking. I’d rather enjoy the initial movie again.’

One fan commented, “Was it necessary? No. Will it surpass the original? No. But will I be sitting down for it? Definitely.

One person said, “Which one do you think is better, the original or this new version?” And another fan posted, “It seems like the script for this is just a confusing mess.

One user of X stated, ‘There’s no need to make a sequel to the first film; it was perfect as it was,’ and another expressed, ‘Sometimes, change isn’t for the better.’

Another social media user commented, “It appears visually overdone according to my preference, however, I must admit, it seems enjoyable.

However, some people showed their enthusiasm for the sequel with this statement: ‘This seems incredibly enjoyable! I’m totally game!’

Indeed, I can hardly wait! This is going to be fantastic,” said one person. Another chimed in, “A blast from the past, but with a new generation taking over now.

One wrote, “I’m curious to find out… ARE THEY PLANNING TO PERFORM? I’d love for them to play around 5 songs since in the initial movie, Lindsay’s character had a band named Pink Slip.

The trailer began featuring Anna Lohan and Tess Curtis engaged in conversation with a fortuneteller, who was portrayed by Saturday Night Live veteran Vanessa Bayer.

In her reading, the fortuneteller remarked that their life lines seemed to cross over, suggesting they had met or influenced each other in some way previously.

Lindsay and Jamie then looked at each other and pretended to be shocked over the revelation.

However, the fortune teller added, ‘You learned a lesson. A lesson that may serve you again.’

The following morn, I awoke with a jolt, finding myself strangely detached from my physical form, staring back at me from the mirror with wide-eyed astonishment. “Oh my goodness!” I shrieked, my voice echoing in the quiet room.

However, things aren’t as they initially appear, with Lindsay’s daughter Harper (Julia Butters) and future stepdaughter Lily (Sophia Hammons) seemingly participating in the swap too.

In a dramatic manner, Curtis exclaims, “My face appears as if it’s been a Birkin bag left under the scorching sun!

As the remainder of the sneak peek unfolds, I’m part of the family unraveling puzzles to flip the switch, all while disguising our true identities by playing our everyday roles.

Eventually, Curtis and Lohan sauntered along a pavement, both of them looking stylish. Jamie then informed Lindsay, ‘Alright, I’ll signal when it’s your turn to gracefully arrive in an alluring manner.’

She responds with, ‘A dramatic, charming arrival?’ and the camera shifts to Chad Michael Murray riding up on a motorcycle, taking off his helmet.

‘Oh, like that,’ Lohan says out loud which concluded the trailer. 

In the upcoming film, we find Tess and Anna years later, with Anna now being a mother to a little girl and on the verge of becoming a stepmother to another child, as they navigate through new challenges stemming from their past identity crisis.

In the process of dealing with the difficulties that arise when two families come together, Tess and Anna learn that it’s possible for good fortune to happen again. (IMDB synopsis)

In the film, we also have Manny Jacinto, Mark Harmon, Ryan Malgarini, Haley Hudson, and Christina Vidal-Mitchell as part of the stellar cast.

Towards the end of last year, specifically in November, Lindsay made an appearance on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon. During this visit, she looked back on the prospect of playing Anna once more alongside Curtis in the upcoming sequel.

She was beaming with joy as she said it had been an incredibly heartfelt project for her to bring to fruition. Jamie Lee Curtis and herself were grinning ear-to-ear during the initial reading itself.

The Mean Girls actress remarked, “I believe our performance wasn’t as strong due to our excessive happiness. However, the movie is quite amusing – extremely amusing.

Last September, I simply couldn’t contain my excitement when Jamie shared some insights about working alongside Lindsay Lohan yet again, during a heart-to-heart chat on Extra – truly a fan moment for me!

It was such a blast! Just this past summer, we spent an extended period of about 42 days, filled with much laughter and tears.

This setup features a four-way switch, making the experience particularly engaging. With two captivating young actors gracing our presence, I’m confident that everyone will find it delightful.

As a lover of all things cinematic, I can confidently say that this film is a genuine delight. I have no doubt that audiences will find themselves enchanted by it just as they did with the original.

In addition, Lohan disclosed that the original 2003 film’s band, Pink Slip, will be making a comeback in the upcoming sequel as well.

In conversation with IMDb, she shared that she might return to her character and expressed it as, “It seems like a melody that has continued uninterrupted.

‘Pink Slip is making a strong comeback, brimming with affection. It’s an exciting time and it seems as if they’ve never really parted ways.’

Apart from what was mentioned earlier, Curtis added that the film is scarier in every way. It’s also more humorous and includes a greater amount of physical humor. Additionally, the plot twists are scarier. This version appears to have more instances of character swapping.

2003’s Freaky Friday left me utterly smitten! This film garnered rave reviews from the critics, and it catapulted Lindsay Lohan into the spotlight with her Golden Globe nomination for Best Actress in a Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy. I simply can’t get enough of this heartwarming tale!

The movie also raked in $160.8 million in the box office on a budget of $26 million.
