My guest this week on20 Questions on DeadlineisJamie Lee Curtis.
If Lindsay has a child that makes me a grandma!
In the previous film, mother and daughter (Curtis and Lohan) swapped bodies.
This time, withChad Michael Murray returning as the boyfriend characterJake, will he be involved in a swap?
That would be a movie, Curtis said.
That would be a different sequel.
No, I dont swap with Jake.
Ill let everybody know that Im not playing Jake.
I cant really say much.
Were right in the fat of it right now.
Adapted from the video game and directed by Eli Roth, the film was shot in Budapest during Covid.
After the recording of this podcast, Curtis chatted a little about that experience on set.
The best thing that happened was I met Cate Blanchett.
I went to Budapest because Cate Blanchett was going to be in the movie, honestly…
I left my family for three months in the middle of Covid and went to Budapest.
I became friends with Cate, and so it really became a kind of girls [club].
Ariana Greenblatt and Gina Gershon joined in.
So it just became like a girl power trip for me.
They were raised by Donna.
Theyre in a family of Donnas… Theres a combination of mental illness.
Curtis will play Scarpettas sister Dorothy.
We are about to start to create and bring it for you for next year.
Nicole is going to play Scarpetta, and its taken a long time to bring Scarpetta to a screen.
I think there will be some food porn.
There will be blood.
There will be blood, and copious amounts of it.
The film is set to premiere at the Toronto Film Festival in September.
It was made for nothing.
Under $2 million in 17 days, and it was fantastic, Curtis said.
I play [the showgirls] best friend, an ex-showgirl, ex-stripper, ex-cocktail waitress.
Shes in her 60s, shes an ex- everything.
And she might have a gambling problem and maybe drinks too much.
Her name is Annette.
