We’re officially one step closer to the Freaky Friday sequel taking us away. On Monday, actress Lindsay Lohan took to social media to share her feelings about the final days of production on Freakier Friday, the highly-anticipated sequel to Disney’s 2003 hit. The sequel just confirmed its title at Disney’s D23 Expo earlier this month, along with the detail that the film is headed to theaters. This comes after Curtis recently confirmed that her time filming on Freakier Friday has wrapped, while also offering praise for her onscreen daughter.
