Dennis Quaid reflected on the 1998 cult classic film, and while he’d love to give fans the sequel they want, he doesn’t think it’s possible without the late Natasha Richardson.Quaid, whose character was Parker, the father who is clueless his twins, Annie and Hallie, played by Lindsay Lohan, have swapped after meeting as preteens for the first time at summer camp, spoke about the possibility of a follow-up film.

While walking the red carpet of his upcoming movie “Reagan”in Los Angeles earlier this week, the actor, 70, said he doesn’t see how a sequel could work without Richardson, who tragically died in 2009 at 45 from blunt-force trauma during a skiing accident.

Richardson starred as Elizabeth James, Parker’s former wife, who gave birth to twin daughters before their characters divorced, moved on opposite ends of the world, and each got custody of one child to raise while failing to tell the girls that two of them existed. “That would be fantastic, but Natasha.

How do we do it without Natasha?” Quaid responded when Entertainment Tonight asked about the potential “Parent Trap” sequel.He shared that Richardson’s unexpected death “still breaks my heart.”That doesn’t mean a follow-up won’t happen.“You never know,” Quaid added.
