Lindsay Lohan has expressed both excitement and a sense of nervousness as she prepares to reprise her iconic role as Anna in the upcoming sequel, Freakier Friday, which is set to be released in August. In a recent interview with Chloe Fineman for the summer issue of ELLE, Lohan reflected on her return to the character and the challenges of singing once again.
Recollecting her initial experience filming the original 2003 Freaky Friday, Lohan described how special it feels to bring Anna back to life. “It’s exciting to reconnect with a character that means so much to me, especially after such a long time away from feature films with Disney,” she shared. The movie explores the evolving relationship between Anna and her mother, played by Jamie Lee Curtis, as they navigate generational differences while preparing for another wedding.
A notable element of the sequel involves the return of the band Pink Slip, which was prominently featured in the original film. Lohan previously portrayed Anna as a budding musician, and she admitted that the prospect of singing again was initially daunting, as it requires stepping back into Anna’s shoes rather than singing as herself.
Reflecting on her past, Lohan mentioned, “When I was doing [Freaky Friday], I was also recording an album,” referring to her debut album, Speak, released in 2004. In the sequel, she emphasized the emotional weight of the musical moments, indicating that the new songs are crafted to resonate with audiences, especially one particular track she described as “tugging on your heartstrings.”
Curtis also chimed in, forecasting that the music from the sequel, especially those from Pink Slip, will have a significant impact. “It’ll be the song of the summer next summer. I guarantee it,” she remarked, underscoring the excitement surrounding the project.
Lohan noted the warm reception from fans regarding Pink Slip, emphasizing how meaningful their love and support have been to her. The sequel, described as a “feel-good movie,” promises to capture the essence of the beloved original while offering fresh moments that connect with both nostalgia and contemporary themes.
This hopeful narrative reflects Lindsay Lohan’s journey back to cinema and music, symbolizing a return to roots and creating new memories with her family, as she shares the experience of filming with her husband and son. As the anticipation grows for Freakier Friday, fans can look forward to a blend of old favorites and new classics, reuniting with beloved characters in a story that continues to resonate across generations.
