The movie will reportedly center around a “multigenerational twist,” picking up years after Tess Coleman (Curtis) and her daughter Anna Coleman (Lohan) switched bodies. It will also tell the story of how “lightning might indeed strike twice,” referring to another potential switch between the mother-and-daughter duo.

Jacinto was born in Manila before moving to Canada in 1990.
