Jamie Lee Curtis has provided an intriguing update on her forthcoming comedy film, Freakier Friday. Curtis is teaming up once again with Lindsay Lohan; Curtis will portray Tess Coleman, while Lohan will take on the role of her daughter, Anna Coleman. The actress revealed that Manny Jacinto will be Lohan's on-screen spouse in the movie, as reported by The Hollywood Reporter.
"Manny plays Lindsay's husband. But that's about all we can disclose," Curtis stated, noting that they are still in the midst of filming. "Manny is delightful. So humorous," Lohan commented on her on-screen love interest. Fans were ecstatic to witness Lohan and Murray's characters reunite two decades after the original film when Disney announced Murray's comeback to play Jake in the sequel.
Lohan, Curtis, and Murray are not the sole actors returning for the sequel. The cast will feature original performers Mark Harmon, Christina Vidal Mitchell, Haley Hudson, Lucille Soong, Stephen Tobolowsky, and Rosalind Chao, along with fresh faces Jacinto, Julia Butters, Sophia Hammons, and Maitreyi Ramakrishnan. The sequel to Freaky Friday picks up years after Tess and Anna swapped bodies. Anna now has a child and a soon-to-be stepdaughter.
"As they navigate the myriad challenges that arise when two families blend, Tess and Anna find that lightning might indeed strike twice," the film synopsis explains. The movie is slated for release next year.
