Get the image? More than three many years after Hayley Mills wooed followers in 1961’s The Parent Trap, Disney reboot the traditional and produced an equally as massive field workplace hit.
The 1998 movie, which starred Lindsay Lohan as an identical twins, Annie James and Hallie Parker, adopted the sisters after they’re reunited whereas attending the identical Camp Walden summer season camp forward of their twelfth birthday.
While the twins had no concept that the opposite existed — Annie lived in London with their mother, Elizabeth James (Natasha Richardson), and Hallie grew up in California with their dad, Nick Parker (Dennis Quaid) — they shortly bonded.
Sure, the women had a battle of wits on the all-girls camp, however in the end, they hatched a plan to change locations and optimistically reunite their dad and mom. Hallie enlisted the assistance of the twins’ grandfather (Ronnie Stevens) and butler Martin (Simon Kunz) whereas attending to know her mum in England.
Annie, for her half, was tasked with breaking apart their dad’s new relationship. Nick had fallen for a younger 26-year-old named Meredith Blake (Elaine Hendrix) whereas her sister was away at camp, however fortunately, Annie (who was pretending to be Hallie) had housekeeper Chessy (Lisa Ann Walter) in her nook.
Two many years after The Parent Trap hooked a brand new technology on the twin-switch story line, the forged nearly reunited. During their chat, the group remembered their late costar Richardson, who died in March 2009.
“Natasha had such an elegance and grace, and she was so maternal to me,” Lohan recalled in July 2020 whereas talking along with her former castmates and director Nancy Meyers.
Quaid added: “[She was] somebody so giving and glad to be there and transmitted that joy of being able to do what we do. It just made everything that much better.”
The following 12 months, Hendrix solely informed Us Weekly about how her villainous character has advanced through the years, revealing that many viewers now see Meredith as a badass feminine who knew her price.
“One of the keys to playing villains is that the characters, you never think of yourself as a villain, like, ever. So Meredith Blake, no. Like to me, everyone else is catching up to everything I had already thought about her and that narrative Meredith thought about herself,” she stated in June 2021. “So of course, she wasn’t the villain. Of course, she was the victim to these two little monster twins and their parents.”
Walter — who grew to become real-life BFFs with Hendrix regardless of their characters hating one another — solely informed Us in April 2022 that she would fortunately group up with the entire forged once more for a sequel. (Yes, which means Meredith Blake must make a comeback of some kind.)
“I think it would be really fun if we were pursuing the story [of Chessy and Martin]. Because people all the time are like, ‘Why is there not a 2? Not a remake, but a Parent Trap where the Lindsay character grows up and they’re twins and they have to get Martin and Chessy back together,” Walter revealed. “People will come up with story ideas like that. … And of course [I’d love if] somehow Meredith is involved just because I would die to do another version of working with Elaine in those roles.”
She added: “My best friend is Elaine and we kind of got hit at the 20-year reunion mark [with new fans] because of the fact that they air it so frequently and new generations find it.”
