The film "Freakier Friday" is now available on digital platforms such as Amazon, Fandango, and Apple TV since October 7, and is streaming on Disney+ starting November.
The filming location of the bachelorette party scene gave fans an exclusive look behind the scenes. Director Nisha Ganatra shared her experience balancing humor and chaos during the movie’s most complex moments.
“It was just so fun,” Ganatra said. “When you have Vanessa Bayer, everything’s gonna be funny, especially with Lindsay and Jamie involved. I really wanted to get the switch right, because that’s the magic of the movie. If you don’t buy that moment, everything falls apart.”
Ganatra described the four-way body swap as one of the most complex sequences she has ever directed.
“Oh my God, it was so confusing on the page,” she laughed. “You’re really directing eight performances with four actors. It’s super challenging, but they made it look easy.”
Regarding a potential third installment, Ganatra hinted at a new twist.
“I think it’s time for the guys to swap. But to me, the joy of ‘Freakier Friday’ is the celebration of sisterhood and chosen family — just unapologetic female energy.”
Author’s summary: "Freakier Friday" showcases seamless humor and complex scenes under director Nisha Ganatra, celebrating sisterhood with stellar performances from Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsay Lohan.
