Jamie Lee Curtis reacts to viral leaked picture from Freakier Friday set: Tried so hard to keep story a secret

Actor Jamie Lee Curtis, who finished shooting for the upcoming Disney sequel Freakier Friday, says the leaked pictures from the set show the joy they felt while working on the film.

The picture that has been leaked shows the two actors embracing each other.

“Because other outlets have posted it, I am going to take advantage of the intrusion of a paparazzi picture into the creative process of filmmaking,” Curtis wrote defiantly on Instagram. “We have tried so hard to keep our story a secret and private until it’s time for release but once in a while an image comes out, and it doesn’t tell you anything about the story or about what’s going on with the characters but it does show the joy and fun that we had making Freakier Friday and we know it will be the experience that you will have in the theaters next year.”

Also starring Lindsay Lohan who along with Cutis reprises her role from the first film, the production on the same was wrapped on Friday. Earlier titled Freaky Friday 2, the title Freakier Friday was revealed at the recent D23 Expo where several announcements on Disney and Pixar movies were made.

Returning cast members also include Mark Harmon, Chad Michael Murray, Christina Vidal Mitchell, Haley Hudson, Lucille Soong, Stephen Tobolowsky and Rosalind Chao.

New cast members who have joined the sequel are Julia Butters, Manny Jacinto, Jordan E Cooper, Maitreyi Ramakrishnan and Sophia Hammons.

Nisha Ganatra is directing the sequel from a script by Jordan Weiss. Freakier Friday is produced by Andrew Gunn and Kristin Burr. The sequel, which went on floors in June, will reportedly see Lohan reprising her role as Anna, who now has a daughter of her own and will soon have a stepdaughter. The official description of Freakier Friday reads, "As they navigate the myriad challenges that come when two families merge, Tess (Curtis) and Anna discover the lightning might indeed strike twice."

Although Disney has yet to announce a release date for Freakier Friday, it has confirmed a theatrical release will take place in 2025.
