This movie will be the sequel to Freaky Friday, produced in 2003. The 2003 film was recorded as the most commercially successful, earning $160 million at the Box Office. The trilogy was based on the highly acclaimed book Freaky Friday, written by Mary Rodgers. The original movie was produced by Disney in 1976 and starred Jodie Foster and Barbra Harris. Disney then made a remake in 1995, a slight variation of the original, featuring Shelly Long and Gabby Hoffman. Eight years later, the 2003 version has gained its acclaimed fame today, as previously mentioned by Peoples.com.
Moreover, all plots intertwine to produce the general plot of the main character, Annabel, and her mother, Tess Colemen, differing aspects of life. However, the plot is genuinely revealed when the pair receives a strange and vague fortune cookie after a dispute regarding the mother’s new marriage at a Chinese restaurant. To their surprise, the next day, they are met with their worlds being turned upside down, with the revelation that they switched bodies. Left unable to revert to their original selves, they are forced to assume the role of each other until they are met with a solution. By doing this, they start to understand the other person’s perspective on life and have a taste of life in each other’s shoes.
However, it has not been confirmed that the upcoming Freaky Friday plot. There can be some speculation through Curtis’s interview with the hosts of View, in which she expresses her take on how the plot would be composed, “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” as previously stated in Yahoo. Movies.
Students have also speculated about the upcoming film’s theme; Noelle Wu (10) states, “Although it’s been a while since I last watched it, I think that it would be fun if we see Annabel as an adult and she and her mother (Tess Coleman) go back to eat at the Chinese Restaurant and eat a fortune cookie that makes them swap bodies once again, but this time they travel back in time, and we see what they may do differently.”
While the upcoming date has not been announced, it is confirmed that it is in the works; according to Curtis, who was interviewed by the Times, “Something touched a chord. When I came back, I called my friends at Disney and said, ‘It feels like there’s a movie to be made.'” Curtis and Lohan have recently completed their respective projects, which Lohan with her Irish Wish on Netflix, and Curtis recently awarded as anOscar Winner. The upcoming sequel can be viewed on Disney Plus.
