LOS ANGELES — The summer movie season is getting “freakier!” Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsay Lohan are back for more body-swapping shenanigans in the long-awaited sequel, “Freakier Friday.”
For a new episode of “On The Red Carpet Presents: ‘Freakier Friday,'” we interviewed the stars about returning to characters they first played in the 2003 Disney classic, “Freaky Friday.”
“I am younger today than I was 22 years ago when we made that movie,” Curtis told On The Red Carpet. “I feel younger. My mind is younger. My creativity is on steroids.”
Lohan added, “It felt like riding a bike. It felt like it was just yesterday when we got on set. It felt like no time had passed, which is wild.”
The new special, “On The Red Carpet Presents: Freakier Friday,'” features highlights from the world premiere in Hollywood, including a performance from the band Pink Slip.
You’ll also see interviews with some of the new stars joining the cast, like Julia Butters, Sophia Hammons, Manny Jacinto and Vanessa Bayer, along with Chad Michael Murray who returns as “Jake.”
Plus, we open our video vault for a look back at our original interviews from when Lohan and Curtis were promoting their first “Freaky Friday” film.
“Freakier Friday” picks up the story of mother and daughter Tess Coleman (Curtis) and Anna Coleman (Lohan), but a lot has changed since we last saw them.
Anna now has a teenage daughter of her own, who gets mixed up in the family chaos, along with a soon-to-be stepdaughter.
To add to the drama, there’s a big wedding planned, which the two teenage girls (played by Butters and Hammons) aren’t happy about, so they hatch a plan to break their parents up before they say their vows!
The movie was filmed around the Los Angeles area, including Pacific Palisades and Altadena where devastating fires left an unprecedented path of destruction earlier this year.
Two key film locations, a pickleball court in Altadena and the original “Freaky Friday” home in Pacific Palisades, were destroyed.
“You will look at the Pacific Palisades and you will know what it looked like because of movies like ‘Freaky Friday,'” Curtis told On The Red Carpet.
“Freakier Friday” arrives in theaters on Aug. 8.
