Lindsay Lohan 'in talks over Freaky Friday sequel' with on-screen mum Jamie Lee Curtis

Lindsay Lohan has been enjoying a comeback to acting with her newly-released Netflix hit Falling For Christmas.

Now the star is reported to be in talks with on-screen mum Jamie Lee Curtis to bring back the 2003 classic Freaky Friday for a follow up film.

The Disney produced film was a twist on the 1977 movie, and was a box office hit for Lindsay and Jamie Lee bringing in $160.8m when it was released nearly 20 years ago.

36-year-old Lindsay is now reported to be working on a follow up plot to the hit film, as the actress wants to 'come full circle'.

A source spoke to Hollywood Life to reveal Lindsay's sequel plans. They said: "[Lindsay and Jamie Lee] are certain that they are going to make this happen and they have a ton of incredibly talented and willing people around them who are extremely determined to get this project off the ground and in the works.

"They already have a plot developed and are talking with several different studios and producers who are all extremely interested."

They added: "For Lindsay, it is coming full circle. She is getting a second chance at her career, and she is determined to do it right this time. When she did Freaky Friday, that catapulted her into stardom.

"As she sits at the pinnacle of her massive comeback, she knows that this film will mean so much to her, just as it will to Jamie Lee."

Lindsay also appeared to confirm the sequel could be on the cards when she appeared on The Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon. Lindsay said: "I was on set filming at the time and Jamie Lee Curtis writes you and you just get excited and distracted immediately. So I had to bring myself down to earth.

"Then she said ‘Freaky Friday 2’ and I got more excited. We would both be into it."

The original Freaky Friday film was released in 1977 with actress Jodie Foster, before it was remade with Lindsay Lohan and Jamie Lee Curtis in 2003.

The film sees Lindsay's teenage character Anna and mum Tess, played by Jamie Lee, forced to confront each other's differences when they wake up and have been swapped into each other's bodies.

Fans of Jamie Lee Curtis also thought they spotted a subtle hint to the remake on the 63-year-old's Instagram.

The star shared a snap of her alongside Lindsay, and wrote: "Seeing @lindsaylohan sleigh the carpets and circuit shows with her Falling For Christmas @netflix movie makes me miss our time together and it’s Friday so I’m sayin I freakin miss her!"
