Lindsay Lohan never thought she would star in a sequel
Lindsay Lohan "never thought" she would star in a movie sequel.
The actor has reprised her Freaky Friday alter ego Anna Coleman to star in Freakier Friday, and Lohan is "manifesting" the 2025 flick because it felt "really special" to see how her character has evolved.
"I'm excited. It feels surreal. I've never thought I would do a movie where there would be a sequel," the 38-year-old told the US issue of Elle magazine.
"It's something you don't really think about. And then when you get to do it, and bring a character that you knew so well back to life, in a sense, it's exciting.
"There's a comfort with it that you don't find in a new character. It's evolved. What are they like now? How can we shoot it? So it felt really special, and so did doing my first feature back with Disney again after not doing features for such a long time.
"It's a really nice thing."
Lohan, who was 15 years of age at the time of making Freaky Friday, said doing the sequel felt like coming home, and the actor loves that she can "share" the film with her husband Bader Shammas and their toddler son Luai.
"And to be back there at this time and have a full life and be able to share it with my husband and my son, it definitely feels unique in a lot of ways, and it's nice."
Freakier Friday picks up years after Freaky Friday, where Tess (Jamie Lee Curtis) and her daughter Anna switched bodies and lived each other's lives following a freak incident.
Anna has a daughter and is about to have a step-daughter, and she and Tess fear "lightning might indeed strike twice" when the two families "merge".

The Chase star Anne Hegerty, aka The Governess, reveals new career move away from the popular quiz show
The Chase star Anne Hegerty — known to millions of people around the world as 'The Governess' — will step away from the popular quiz show to star as The Fairy Rose in a stage production of Beauty And The Beast. Hegerty, 66, announced she would be taking up the role during the Christmas festive period over December and January at the Scarborough Spa in the UK. The character of Fairy Rose stems from the Enchanted Rose in Disney's 1991 animated movie and 2017 live action film, which acts as a clock for the Beast — each petal fall is an indication of the time he has left to find his true love and break his curse. The multi-talented quiz show star is no stranger to the stage and has previously appeared in a production of Beauty And The Beast, among other pantomines, musicals and plays. Hegerty — who has appeared on The Chase UK and The Chase Australia — will return to the quiz show after her latest stint on stage. On Tuesday, Hegerty spoke to Sunrise hosts Nat Barr and Matt Shirvington about how she came to be a quiz master. 'I was finding (life a bit) difficult,' Hegerty said of her time before joining The Chase UK in 2010, when she had been working as a newspaper journalist and proofreader, struggling financially, and was on disability and housing benefits. 'I was a good proofreader (but) I was finding it difficult to keep up with the admin, I was spiralling a bit. 'I happened to accidentally discover there was a high-level quizzing circuit in the UK. I joined it. 'I started doing really well just at the time when The Chase had just filmed the first series, just 10 episodes, with only Mark (Labbett aka The Beast) and Shaun (Wallace aka The Dark Destroyer). 'They were thinking they were going to want a female chaser. I came on the scene at the right time.' Hegerty said she was initially called The Headmistress, before being renamed The Governess. 'Our UK host started to refer to me as The Governess. I said to producers I'd rather be called that,' she said. 'The thing about a headmistress is that she can't do everything she wants — she's got to answer to the board of governors and so on,' Hegerty explained, adding that The Governess is more like Mary Poppins. 'I want to be Mary Poppins. Really fierce.' Hegerty, who was diagnosed with Asperger's at age 45, said she's always wanted to be famous, even as a child. 'I wanted to be famous as I thought maybe I'd be a writer or maybe I'd illustrate children's books. I'm not remotely a good enough artist to do that,' she said. 'I just always thought you know, I want to be famous for something.'

Disney laying off several hundred in film, TV, finance
Media company Walt Disney is laying off several hundred employees in film, television and corporate finance, a source familiar with the matter says. The lay-offs affect multiple teams around the world, including film and TV marketing, TV publicity and casting and development, the source said. Disney and other companies are reshaping their business strategies in response to the migration of cable TV audiences to streaming platforms. In 2023, Disney cut 7000 jobs as part of an effort to save $US5.5 billion ($A8.5 billion) in costs. Disney also laid off nearly 6 per cent, or fewer than 200 people, in the ABC News Group and Disney Entertainment Networks in March. The company's most recent earnings report in May exceeded Wall Street expectations with an unexpected boost from the Disney+ streaming service and strong results from theme parks.
