After the success of the Scream reboot in 2022, it seemed only a matter of time before I Know What You Did Last Summergot the same treatment.
The original 1997 film starred 90s heartthrobs Jennifer Love Hewitt, Freddie Prinze Jr., Sarah Michelle Gellar, and Ryan Phillippe. That film was written by Scream scribe Kevin Williamson, based on the popular YA novel by Lois Duncan.
After an immediate sequel and a more recently unsuccessful serialized reboot on Amazon, the franchise is again working its way to the big screen. And though the details around the film have been under tight lip since its announcement, Sony is starting to let us in on some specifics, including the just released premise and debut poster.
The film, aptly titled I Know What You Did Last Summer, follows five friends involved in a deadly car accident. After covering up their part, they make a pact to never speak of the incident again. But someone knows, haunting the group as they stalk the teens, hell-bent on revenge. But this has happened before. In desperate need of answers, they turn to the survivors of the legendary Southern Massacre of 1997.
In addition to franchise returnees Jennifer Love Hewitt and Freddie Prinze Jr., the new film also stars Madelyn Cline, Chase Sui Wonders, Jonah Hauer-King, Triq Withers, Sarah Pidgeon, Billy Campbell, Gabbriette Bechtel, Austin Nichols, Lola Tung, and Nicholas Alexander Chavez. Directed by Jennifer Kaylin Robinson, I Know What You Did Last Summer slashes its way into theaters on July 18
