A "Freaky Friday" sequel is in the works and Lindsay Lohan and Jamie Lee Curtis are ready to swap bodies again, 20 years after the first film was released.
電影《辣媽辣妹》續集正在籌備中,(該片雙女主角)琳賽蘿涵與潔美李寇蒂斯,準備在該片首集上映20年後,再次互換身體。
In the 2003 hit, Curtis and Lohan play a mother and her teen daughter who are at odds with each other and must work together when — thanks to a curse put on them — they mysteriously swap bodies.

In an interview with the New York Times published Wednesday, Curtis said when she was doing press for "Halloween Ends," people would ask her about a "Freaky Friday" sequel. "Something really touched a chord," she said. "When I came back, I called my friends at Disney and said, ’It feels like there’s a movie to be made.’"
寇蒂斯在週三刊出的紐約時報訪問中表示,當她在為宣傳《月光光新慌慌:萬聖結》受訪時,總被問《辣媽辣妹》何時拍續集。「這真的是心有戚戚焉,」她說。「我回來後(指受訪結束)就打電話給我在迪士尼的朋友,說『看來要拍部電影了』」。
When the first film was released, Lohan was just 16 playing a grouchy teenager. Now, she’s an expecting mother herself.
