Twenty years later, Lindsay Lohan and Jamie Lee Curtis are in talks to reunite in a sequel to the hit body-swap comedy “Freaky Friday” (“Crazy Friday”).

The sequel is in the works at Disneyand Lohan and Curtis are expected to reprise their roles as mother-daughter duo Anna and Tess Coleman. Elyse Hollander is writing the script.

Based on the homonymous novel by Mary Rodgers In 1972, the story was adapted for the screen twice before the 2003 film: in 1976, starring Barbara Harris and Jodie Fosterand in 1995, with Shelley Long and Gaby Hoffmann. But the Lohan-Curtis version found the biggest hit, grossing more than $160 million at the box office.

Rumors about a possible sequel began circulating in February, when Curtis posted a photo of her and Lohan on Instagram with the caption: “It’s Friday. Just say! Fingers crossed strangers!”

“It’s going to happen,” Curtis explained in an interview with Variety at the Producers Guild Awards on February 26.

The news was revealed in an interview New York Times with Lohan and Curtis celebrating the 20th anniversary of the 2003 film, directed by Mark Waterswhich follows a mother and daughter who wake up on a Friday morning to find that they have swapped bodies.

“As ‘Halloween Ends’ went around the world, people wanted to know if there was going to be another ‘Freaky Friday,’” Curtis told the New York Times. “Something really struck a chord. When I got back, I called my friends at Disney and said, ‘Looks like there’s a movie to be made.’

Lohan added: “Jamie and I are open to it, so we just leave it up to you. We would only do something that people would absolutely love.”
