It’s been a deal with for a lot of followers to see Lindsay Lohan reprise her function as Anna Coleman alongside Jamie Lee Curtis when the sequel Freakier Friday hit the 2025 film calendar. The follow-up to the 2003 flick turned the “#1 comedy in America” upon its launch, which naturally bought individuals occupied with revisiting different LiLo motion pictures. The Guardian Entice from 1998 stays a much-beloved title, however ought to a sequel even be an possibility with out Natasha Richardson? Lisa Ann Walter weighed in.
Lisa Ann Walter is well-known as of late for her function on Abbott Elementary, however even her colleagues on the ABC sitcom keep in mind her as Chessy from The Guardian Entice. Talking to Folks lately, the actress appeared into the thought of reviving the function, however she stated Natasha Richardson’s loss of life must be acknowledged thoughtfully, and different members of the solid won’t be as into the thought. Walter stated:
Dennis [Quaid] has stated that he would not suppose it is doable with out Natasha, and I perceive that. The film — it’s a youngsters’ story, but it surely’s a love story. So to have a love story that entails that grief, that disappointment — if it was written fantastically, perhaps it’s doable.
It could undoubtedly be a tough matter to broach, and Dennis Quaid — who performed Nick, the daddy of twins Annie and Hallie — ought to undoubtedly have a say in whether or not or to not proceed the Parker-James story with out Natasha Richardson — who performed their mom, Elizabeth. Lisa Ann Walter might be proper, although, in that there’s possible a delicate and honorable solution to do it. “If Nancy Meyers wrote it,” Walter stated, she’d undoubtedly be in.
Natasha Richardson died tragically in 2009 after falling and hitting her head throughout a snowboarding lesson. She thought she was OK however hours later developed a extreme headache. She was airlifted from Quebec to a hospital in New York Metropolis, the place she died two days later from a mind bleed.
It feels like if a Guardian Entice reboot or sequel have been to occur, everybody concerned — assuming Dennis Quaid and Lindsay Lohan could be on board — would need to deal with the late actress’ reminiscence as delicately as doable. As for if it ought to occur or will occur, we’ll have to attend and see.
This actually isn’t the primary time Lisa Ann Walter has mentioned such a undertaking. She even pitched an thought for The Guardian Entice 2 that (not surprisingly) included a redemption arc for Meredith Blake — the supposedly evil would-be stepmother to Lindsay Lohan’s twins. In actual life Walter is finest buddies with Elaine Hendrix, who performed the villain in query and, while you actually give it some thought, perhaps Meredith wasn’t as unhealthy as we initially thought.
I’ll be excited to see if any talks develop so far as furthering Annie and Hallie’s story (or Chessy and Martin’s, which was one other thought from Lisa Ann Walter). Within the meantime, although, the 1998 basic is out there to stream with a Disney+ subscription or as a part of a Disney bundle.
