First Look: ‘Freakier Friday' Sets Summer 2025 Date

October 11, 2024 Jordan Ruimy

Disney has just given “Freakier Friday” a release date — the film is set for theatrical release on August 8, 2025. That’s the same day as Paul Thomas Anderson’s “The Battle of Baktan Cross,” although both films don’t share the same audience, so don’t expect PTA’s film to move anywhere.

We also have our first look at “Freakier Friday” (above) which is the sequel to 2003’s “Freaky Friday.” Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsay Lohan are set to return in their respective mother/daughter roles for the sequel.

The 2003 original was a very likeable, and entertaining, body-swapping comedy. Nothing more, nothing less. A harmlessly well-made comedy that used familiar tropes in humorous ways. Apparently, the film can also count Quentin Tarantino as a major fan. “Freaky Friday” director, Mark Waters, had spoken to THR about his run-in with Tarantino at a party:

One time, I got cornered at a party by Quentin Tarantino, who outlined in great detail shot by shot that sequence of the House of Blues to me. He was like outlining why it was a genius scene and a perfect ending for the movie, and I was like, ‘This is cool man. Quentin Tarantino was like, fan-geeking me.'

The scene Tarantino was raving about from the teen comedy had Lohan’s character performing the song “Take Me Away” with her fictional band Pink Slip in a battle of the bands, shot at House of Blues in Hollywood.

It’s not the first time Tarantino has praised “Freaky Friday.” He once gushed about Lohan, saying “I’ve always loved Lindsay. She is a terrific, terrific actor. I think the work she did in “Freaky Friday” was just top notch acting.”

As for Lohan, she’s … changed. The actress is now married to Dubai financier Bader Shammas, with boat loads of plastic surgery, and barely any movie roles in over 10 years. Lohan did make an acting comeback in late 2022 with the Netflix hit “Falling For Christmas” — it was her first prominent acting gig since the 2013 Paul Schrader-directed “The Canyons.”
