We’re getting a new I Know What You Did Last Summer film, it’s official. A sequel to the well-liked 1997 horror movie, which starred Jennifer Love Hewitt, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Ryan Phillippe, and Freddie Prinze Jr., was announced by Jennifer Kaytin Robinson on February 6 according to Deadline.
The project will be the fourth entry in the slasher film series, which was sparked by Lois Duncan’s 1973 book “I Know What You Did Last Summer.” Additionally, in 2021, the narrative was turned into a TV series on Amazon Prime, however it was discontinued after only one season. Sony Pictures is currently bringing the series back to theatres.
The three previous films depict a gang of youngsters who mistakenly kill a man and then throw his body in the ocean to cover the evidence, however specifics of the latest movie are still being kept under wraps. They make a pact to never talk about what happened, but a year later, when they get a threatening letter from someone claiming to know their terrible secret, they are forced to relive the accident. Soon later, a killer with a hook starts stalking them.
What will the new film be about, then? Will any of the original cast members be making a comeback? For all the information we currently know about the “I Know What You Did Last Summer” sequel, please scroll through the slideshow.
“I Know What You Did Last Summer 4” Cast
Although the cast hasn’t been formally revealed, rumours suggest otherwise. Hewitt and Prinze Jr., who portrayed Julie James and Ray Bronson in the original two I Know What You Did Last Summer movies, are in talks to reprise their parts. The forthcoming movie won’t be a reboot, according to Deadline, in contrast to the 2021 TV version. Sony Pictures instead plans to portray a “passing of the torch”-style tale that will centre on the characters played by Hewitt and Prinze Jr. while also introducing fresh faces for a contemporary audience.
“I Know What You Did Last Summer 4” Director
The movie’s director, Jennifer Kaytin Robinson, has been officially announced. She previously wrote and directed the Netflix comedies “Someone Great” and “Do Revenge,” both of which are romantic comedies. Robinson created and produced the MTV series “Sweet/Vicious,” as well as contributing to the writing of “Thor: Love and Thunder.”
“I Know What You Did Last Summer 4” Screenwriter
Leah McKendrick, who has previously penned thrillers like “No Service,” “M.F.A.” and “Deviant Love,” will compose the screenplay for the movie.
“I Know What You Did Last Summer 4” Villain
The villain for the upcoming “I Know What You Did Last Summer” sequel will probably be Ben Willis, alias The Fisherman, who employs a hook to kill his victims, just like in the previous movies in the franchise. Willis will return to exact his vengeance on the teenagers who managed to elude him twice, despite the fact that he looked to have died at the end of the second movie. However, this is a slasher movie franchise, so anything is possible. The Fisherman Killer made a zombie comeback in the direct-to-DVD third installment from 2006, which only leaves the question of whether those events will be reconned.
