\n\t\t\tPlaying a legend! While many celebrities had iconic career milestones through the years, it can be an impressive feat to see such accomplishments recreated on the big screen. Celebrities such as Dolly Parton, Justin Bieber and Hillary Clinton are among the few who already have casting ideas in mind, though no films have officially been [\u2026]\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

After years out of the spotlight, Lohan has made a major acting comeback in recent years with films like Falling for Christmas<\/em> and Irish Wish<\/em><\/a>, which are part of her creative partnership with Netflix. Her third movie<\/a> for the streaming service, Our Little Secre<\/em>t, is due later this year and follows two resentful exes who are forced to spend Christmas under the same roof after discovering that their current partners are siblings.<\/p>\n

Lohan also made a cameo in the 2024 movie musical adaptation of Mean Girls.<\/em> The sequel to her 2003 hit Freaky Friday<\/em><\/a> with Jamie Lee Curtis<\/strong>, meanwhile, has received a green light, with a second source telling Us<\/em> that production on the film is set to start in a couple of weeks in L.A. The insider notes that Lohan \u201cand the fans are so excited are the second installment.\u201d<\/p>\n

After years of rumors around a follow-up film, Lohan confirmed<\/a> during a March appearance on Sirius XM\u2019s Radio Andy<\/em> that the much-anticipated sequel was happening but played coy about sharing any details. \u201cI don\u2019t want to say too much,\u201d she teased. \u201cBut we\u2019re both excited. I\u2019m going to speak for Jamie.\u201d<\/p>\n

Later that month, Variety reported that Nisha Ganatra<\/strong> \u2014 known for her work on comedies like The High Note<\/em> and Late Night<\/em> \u2014 would take the reins from OG director Mark Waters<\/strong>, with Jordan Weiss<\/strong> writing the script. A casting call shared by Ganatra later revealed some plot details, with Lohan\u2019s Anna as a mom to her own snarky 14-year-old daughter, Harper.<\/p>\n

\u201cHarper is in a bit of a mood these days because her longtime single mom is set to marry British restaurateur Eric Davies,\u201d the description read. \u201cIf that wasn\u2019t bad enough, Eric comes with his own 14-year-old daughter, sharp-tongued Lily. Harper and Lily do not see eye to eye. Harper would like to see things go her way and use her intelligence to stop this marriage from ever happening.\u201d<\/p>\n

That means Freaky Friday 2<\/em> will see Anna and her mom, Tess (Curtis), switch bodies \u2014 but not with each other. Instead, they will both swap places with teenage girls Harper and Lily. \u201cHarper should channel \u2018Anna\u2019 (Lindsay Lohan) and Lily should channel \u2018Tess\u2019 (Jamie Lee Curtis),\u201d the audition slides read, per Entertainment Weekly<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n

In addition to her growing work schedule, Lohan is thriving as she balances new motherhood after welcoming son Luai with husband Bader Shammas<\/strong> in July 2023. And although Lohan hopes to expand her brood in \u201cthe next year or two,\u201d acting remains a priority.<\/p>\n

\u201cLindsay\u2019s in the best place<\/a> of her life and career,\u201d a third insider told Us<\/em> in March. \u201cShe\u2019s never been healthier physically and mentally.\u201d<\/p>\n
