With Freakier Friday’s August premiere getting closer every day, Lindsay Lohan and Jamie Lee Curtis are a big part of the 2025 movie schedule's summer fun. The flick obviously owes much of its buzz to Lohan and Curtis' earlier wacky body swap movie.

Curtis tells EW that a specific element of her life at the time might've prevented her from signing on opposite Lindsay Lohan.

Freaky Friday was nearly a very different movie. Instead of Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsay Lohan, it was originally meant to star Annette Bening and Michelle Trachtenberg. When Bening dropped out, the producers contacted Curtis - but she wasn't sure.
