Disney has released the full trailer for “Freakier Friday,” their upcoming sequel to the 2003 hit body swap comedy starring Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsay Lohan.
Both return here for this follow-up set decades after Tess (Curtis) and Anna (Lohan) endured an identity crisis. Anna now has a daughter of her own and a soon-to-be stepdaughter.
As they navigate the myriad challenges that come when two families merge, Tess and Anna discover that lightning might indeed strike twice.
Also returning from the 2003 movie are Mark Harmon as Ryan, Chad Michael Murray as Jake, Christina Vidal Mitchell as Maddie, Haley Hudson as Peg, Rosalind Chao as Pei-Pei, Lucille Song as Pei-Pei’s mom, and Stephen Tobolowsky as Mr. Bates.
Joining them in this outing are Manny Jacinto, Julia Butters, Sophia Hammons and Maitreyi Ramakrishnan. Jordan Weiss penned the script while Nisha Ganatra (“Late Night,” “Brooklyn Nine-Nine”) directs.
Andrew Gunn and Kristin Burr are producing. The original, itself a remake of the 1976 film starring Jodie Foster in the Lohan role, grossed $160 million worldwide.
“Freakier Friday” opens in cinemas on August 8th.
