Curtis recently spoke openly about Freaky Friday while promoting the final movie in her slasher series, Halloween Ends.
She explained: “Something really touched a chord. When I came back, I called my friends at Disney and said: ‘It feels like there’s a movie to be made.'”
Lohan also recently spoke candidly about coming back to the franchise so many years later.
Lohan told The Times she and Curtis were “both open” to starring in a sequel.
“So, we’re leaving it in the hands that be,” she continued. “We would only make something that people would absolutely adore.”
Freaky Friday was based on the 1972 Mary Rodgers novel of the same name. It earned an enormous $160 million at the box office on a meagre $26 million budget.
