INTERVIEWS: Jamie Lee Curtis on Freaky Friday

This week is going to get a little freaky as Jamie Lee Curtis stars opposite Lindsay Lohan in Disney's remake of Freaky Friday. ComingSoon.net talked to the actress about the comedy.

Curtis stars as the mother figure in the film who somehow switches bodies with her daughter. We asked her what is different about the new film. "I think they've just taken the conceit of the first movie. I don't think there's anything that resembles the first movie in this movie," she tells us. "I think it's incredibly different, but the conceit is the same obviously, that there's conflict and then there's a switch, and then there's resolution. I think in a fable you have the opportunity of actually telling something magical, but then grounding it in some real reality. And I think that's what we tried to do here and did it very successfully so that you get both. You get the lovely light part, but then there's also this very specific reality these people are living with. You know, the death of a parent is a grim and tragic reality that's at the base point of a very funny comedy, so you have to then understand that you pay for it in the movie, and I think they do so beautifully in this movie."

Jamie Lee Curtis had to change her physical appearance for the role and she didn't mind dying her hair. "For me to be able to dye my hair in a movie, it's always good because it helps me become the character much quicker. If I'm playing somebody who looks a lot like me with nothing changed, it's harder for me. I like to go do something drastic because then it's okay, I'm no longer this person, I'm this person.

She plays a therapist with some odd patients. "I actually think what I brought to the movie was grounding the therapist's job more than, waaaay more than it was originally written. Originally, every single patient was so crazy that I said to them, it just makes this woman look crazy. I said, you know, it's a very wonderful profession, and I know many of them, and so, I said I'd like to make it that it's a real profession."

But with a comedy you can't get too serious, of course. "You're not going to have people in there with legitimate problems because that's not the movie you're making. I actually think we worked really hard to make her job real, and that she was a real doctor and that there was a real sense of it, and yet at the same time having funny patients. So, I actually think I brought a bigger dose of grounded reality to that element than was in there originally.

One of the funniest lines in the movie and the trailer is when Jamie screams out, "I'm like the Crypt Keeper". There's probably not too many actresses in Hollywood who would want to say that in a movie. "But I do look like the Crypt Keeper," she says, "I throw vanity out the window in every single thing I do. It's actually why I think I'm successful, because I don't care. And the jobs that I do where I may not care as much but a lot of people care, I think I stink. I think they're really stiff and wooden and it becomes really weird. I think the best I'll ever be is when I really let go and don't go."

She used the same thinking when deciding on the clothes for the character. "Getting to buy those clothes for this movie, the minute anything looked good on me, I threw it out the window. The minute something actually made me look almost attractive, it was like nope, forget that. Let's get the really boxy, you know because that's what it needed to be for this, and again, I much prefer to be the clown. Hide me more and more and more and more. It's harder for me if I'm supposed "Perfect". I'm dreadful in the movie because it's too much about what you look like.

You get to see what Curtis looks like when Freaky Friday opens on Wednesday.
