Actor and producer Jamie Lee Curtis discreetly criticized paparazzi for their intrusion on the set of her upcoming film 'Freakier Friday'. According to Deadline, Curtis alleged that the production team intended to keep the film secret until its release. She pointed out that no significant narrative details were disclosed by the leaked photos and took the opportunity to share her own behind-the-scenes picture. Curtis posted an image of herself and co-star Lindsay Lohan embracing on the beach, emphasizing the 'joy and fun' of their filming experience.
'OK. 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,' said Curtis. '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 that doesn't reveal anything about the story or the characters. It does show the joy and fun we had making #FREAKIERFRIDAY, and we know it will be the experience you'll have in theaters next year.'
Following the completion of production, Curtis celebrated on social media, referring to Lohan as the 'ULTIMATE movie daughter.' In her own post, Lohan expressed her gratitude, describing the film as a story of family filled with love, laughter, and heart. 'Freakier Friday,' set for release next year, is the highly anticipated sequel to Disney's 2003 comedy 'Freaky Friday,' which starred Lohan and Curtis as a mother and daughter who swap bodies due to a mysterious fortune cookie incident.
Based on Mary Rodgers' children's novel, which was initially adapted into a 1976 film starring Barbara Harris and Jodie Foster, 'Freaky Friday' grossed over 160 million dollars worldwide and maintains a devoted fan base, as reported by Deadline.
