Two decades after Freaky Friday<\/a> became a coming-of-age staple, Lindsay Lohan<\/a> and Jamie Lee Curtis<\/a> are finally back on screen together in Freakier Friday<\/a>, the long-awaited sequel. The film is now in theaters as of August 8\u2014almost exactly<\/a> 22 years after the original film\u2019s release.<\/p>\n Directed by Nisha Ganatra (The High Note), the follow-up picks up with Anna Coleman (Lohan), now a mom, as she prepares to marry British restaurateur Eric (Manny Jacinto). But when a fortune teller crashes her bachelorette party, a new round of magical mix-ups begins: Anna swaps bodies with her daughter Harper (Julia Butters), and Tess (Curtis) ends up in the body of her soon-to-be step-granddaughter Lily (Sophia Hammons). If it sounds like a lot, that\u2019s because it is\u2014and the film leans into every bonkers moment.<\/p>\n Glen Wilson<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n In conversation with Chloe Fineman for her ELLE summer cover story<\/a>, Lohan said that making Freakier Friday was \u201csurreal.\u201d \u201cI\u2019ve never thought I would do a movie where there would be a sequel. It\u2019s something you don\u2019t really think about,\u201d she shared. \u201cAnd then when you get to do it, and bring a character that you knew so well back to life, in a sense, it\u2019s exciting. There\u2019s a comfort with it that you don\u2019t find in a new character. It\u2019s evolved.\u201d <\/p>\n She added, \u201cIt felt really special, and so did doing my first feature back with Disney again after not doing features for such a long time. It\u2019s a really nice thing.\u201d<\/p>\n Much has changed since Lohan last walked on a Disney set. \u201cTo be back there at this time and have a full life and be able to share it with my husband and my son, it definitely feels unique in a lot of ways, and it\u2019s nice,\u201d she told ELLE. \u201cThere\u2019s not a lot bringing me to the movie theaters personally right now. [Freakier Friday] is a feel-good movie, which is what I want to give people. And it\u2019s fun.\u201d<\/p>\n That sense of fun extends to the music. In one scene, Anna takes the stage again with her high school rock band, Pink Slip\u2014a moment that fans of the original will instantly recognize. \u201cIt was kind of nerve-racking at first, because I\u2019m not singing as me,\u201d Lohan said. \u201cWhen I was doing [Freaky Friday], I was also recording an album, so it was part of my life at the time. In this movie, I was singing it as [my character] Anna, whereas before felt more like Lindsay singing.\u201d <\/p>\n Not yet. Freakier Friday premieres exclusively in theaters on August 8. Disney has not yet announced a streaming release date, but the film is expected to arrive on Disney+ when it does begin streaming. <\/p>\n![\"(l](\"https:\/\/hips.hearstapps.com\/hmg-prod\/images\/ff2-01059-r-1-68937da1ab726.jpg?resize=980:*\" "\\"FREAKIER")
