WASHINGTON (US): Actor and film producer Jamie Lee Curtis discreetly criticised paparazzi for their intrusion on the set of her next film ‘Freakier Friday’, alleging that they intended to keep the film secret until its release, reported Deadline.
However, she explained and teased the media, stating that no important narrative or storyline was disclosed by the leaked photographs, and she released one BTS photo of her own. She took the opportunity to share one of the pictures herself, pointing out the “intrusion” while emphasising the “joy and fun” of her experience on the sequel.
“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, who posted a shot of her and co-star Lindsay Lohan embracing on the beach.
“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 #FREAKIERFRIDAY and we know it will be the experience that you will have in the theaters next year.”
Curtis had already taken to social media to celebrate the completion of production, referring to Lohan as the “ULTIMATE movie daughter,” while Lohan expressed her “heart is so full” in her own post.
Lohan shared, “I’m so grateful to have made this film, a story of family, mothers and their children and a film filled with love, laughter and a ton of heart! It has been a pleasure to work with my dear friend @jamieleecurtis who brings so much joy to our set everyday and she has made this all the more special!”
‘Freakier Friday’, set for release next year, is the long-awaited sequel to Disney’s beloved 2003 comedy Freaky Friday, which starred Lohan and Curtis as Anna and Tess, a mother and daughter who swap bodies after a mysterious incident involving a fortune cookie and get to experience life in each other’s shoes.
Based on Mary Rodgers’ children’s novel of the same name, which was originally turned into a 1976 film starring Barbara Harris and Jodie Foster, the picture grossed over 160 million dollars worldwide and continues to have a devoted following today, reported Deadline. (ANI)
