In 1997 slasher I Know What You Did Final Summer time, Jennifer Love Hewitt’s character famously screamed, “What are you ready for, huh?” Effectively, if she was speaking to Hollywood, they were waiting for precedent. And now, now that they have it, the character and franchise are ready for a big-screen comeback.
Deadline reviews that, after the successful reinvention of Scream, Sony is within the course of of creating a brand new sequel to I Know What You Did Final Summer time. The movie will mirror Scream (and Star Wars and Ghostbusters and on and on) by bringing again characters from the unique movie and passing the torch to new ones. On this case, the characters are those performed by Jennifer Love Hewitt and Freddie Prinze Jr., who survived the unique two movies. (It was adopted by a 3rd movie and an Amazon streaming show.)
The brand new movie can be directed by Jennifer Kaytin Robinson who co-wrote Thor: Love and Thunder with Taika Waititi—however, extra importantly, wrote and directed Netflix’s 2022 movie Do Revenge, which paid homage to teen movies of the Nineties. Robinson pitched the brand new thought for this franchise however will go away the script duties to Leah McKendrick. Prinze and Love Hewitt agreed to return again after listening to the pitch.
I Know What You Did Final Summer time adopted a gaggle of teenagers (additionally together with Sarah Michelle Gellar and Ryan Phillipe) who by chance kill a person (or assume they kill a person) in a automotive accident. They cowl it up, however the man returns hoping for revenge, with an enormous, bloody hook. It’s unclear in the mean time particularly how this sequel will incorporate the occasions of the unique and its sequel (or if the direct-to-DVD third movie will depend), however Robinson has actually confirmed herself a fan of the time interval and style these movies exist in. So we’d think about that is all discovered and might be as slick and sensible as both the brand new Scream, or the awesome Do Revenge.
