Although he didn’t make the final cut of I Know What You Did Last Summer, perhaps Nicholas Alexander Chavez will live to see another sequel.

Following his and Lola Tung‘s scene getting cut from writer/director Jennifer Kaytin Robinson‘s requel to the 1997 teen slasher film, the Emmy winner shared his reaction and whether he’d return for a future installment.

“I mean, Jennifer is a good friend,” he told Us Weekly. “She’s really, really cool people, and, you know, me and Lola had a really, really good time. But, like, look — that’s filmmaking.”

Chavez added, “All I could think about was my time that I spent in Australia, which was hanging out with kangaroos, going on hot air balloon adventures over the plains at sunrise, going cherry picking with my girlfriend. That’s actually all I remember when I think about that movie.”

According to Jeff Sneider, Chase Sui Wonders (I Know What You Did Last Summer) is set to join Hulu’s upcoming reboot of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. As you might expect, details on her character are being kept under wraps, but Sneider hears she will guest star in the pilot.

The reboot series will star Ryan Kiera Armstrong as the new young slayer, but the series will also see the return of Sarah Michelle Gellar as Buffy Summers. “From the moment I saw Ryan’s audition, I knew there was only one girl that I wanted by my side,” said Gellar of Armstrong’s casting. “To have that kind of emotional intelligence, and talent, at such a young age is truly a gift. The bonus is that her smile lights up even the darkest room.“

The rest of the cast includes Faly Rakotohavana (Unprisoned), Ava Jean (Law & Order:...

The pilot episode of “The Studio” has perhaps its greatest cameo by a real-life Hollywood personality — none other than the auteur filmmaker himself, Martin Scorsese. In the extended guest appearance, the director is brought on to be the director for a “Kool-Aid” movie… although his version (a supposed passion project for the man behind “Raging Bull”) will actually be the story of Jim Jones’ notorious Jonestown massacre. He ends up getting fired, which offends Scorsese and every other major star in town, and at the end of the episode Seth Rogen and Ike Barinholtz’s studio mogul characters get kicked out of an exclusive Charlize Theron-hosted party.

Throwing Scorsese into a role that requires him to poke fun at his own persona, though, was a gamble — at least emotionally — for Rogen, who also co-wrote and co-directed the episode.

“It’s very weird,” Rogen told Variety. “The fact that he...

Seth Rogen has revealed that he is in the process of getting the A-list star of one of the most successful action franchises of all time to appear in season 2 of his hit Apple TV+ comedy series, The Studio. Co-created by Rogen, creative partner Evan Goldberg, Peter Huyck, Alex Gregory and Frida Perez, the series is in and of itself a satire of big-budget studios.

The Studio season 1 has proven to be a huge success, with the show earning 23 Primetime Emmy Award nominations in 2025, including for Outstanding Comedy Series. In addition to Rogen, the Apple TV+ comedy stars Catherine O'Hara, Ike Barinholtz, Chase Sui Wonders, and Kathryn Hahn, as well as numerous celebrity guest stars.

During a recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Rogen revealed that he had discussions with Vin Diesel, best known for starring in the beloved Fast & Furious franchise, about appearing in The Studio season 2. This...

As its sequel scares up decent but underwhelming box office returns, I Know What You Did Last Summerwon't be online for the whole summer. The cult classic slasher movie is set to leave Netflix imminently.

Per Collider, I Know What You Did Last Summer will leave Netflix on Aug. 1, becoming one of several feature-length titles to depart from the streaming giant that day. The film hit Netflix on New Year's Day (Jan. 1) and found success on the streamer, including when the sequel hit theaters earlier this month.

Starring Jennifer Love Hewitt, Freddie Prinze Jr., Sarah Michelle Gellar and Ryan Phillippe, I Know What You Did Last Summer was penned by Scream creator Kevin Williamson and helmed by eventual Venom director Jim Gillespie. The film kicked off a longstanding franchise based on Lois Duncan's titular 1973 novel.

The live-action “Scooby-Doo” may not be what Freddie Prinze Jr. is most known for, but it’s definitely the project his “I Know What You Did Last Summer” co-star Chase Sui Wonders grew up with. But, according to the actress, it got a bit awkward when she quoted the film to him on set.

Stopping by “Late Night With Seth Meyers” on Tuesday in support of the horror film, Wonders conceded that the original “I Know What You Did Last Summer” was a film she was a bit young for — she was one year old when it first released — but she had a love for other films her legendary co-stars have been in.

“Really, what sealed the deal, ‘Heartbreakers’ is a film I can quote front to back. Sigourney Weaver, Jennifer Love,” she said. “And then ‘Scooby-Doo,’ one of my most watched.”

Freddie Prinze Jr. played Fred in the film,...

Stars: Madelyn Cline, Chase Sui Wonders, Jonah Hauer-King, Tyriq Withers, Sarah Pidgeon, Billy Campbell, Freddie Prinze Jr., Jennifer Love Hewitt | Written by Jennifer Kaytin Robinson, Sam Lansky | Directed by Jennifer Kaytin Robinson

In the era of legacy sequels, it was only a matter of time before 1997’s I Know What You Did Last Summer was also revived for the modern-day. From the title to the threatening image of a hook, it is an iconic slice of ’90s horror which helped revitalise the slasher subgenre and is remembered fondly as part of many viewers’ nostalgia. But, to borrow a line from returning final-girl Julie James, “Nostalgia is overrated,” as we are now left with 2025’s I Know What You Did Last Summer.

Returning to her hometown of Southport, Ava Brucks (Chase Sui Wonders) reunites with her past friends at the engagement party for her bestie, Danica Richards (Madelyn Cline). As the...

Luca Guadagnino's upcoming feature about the whirlwind rise of artificial intelligence just made an exciting addition. The film follows the real-life drama behind the firing of Sam Altman at OpenAI, as well as the tumultuous and dangerous state of the AI industry. The Challengers director has put together another impressive cast that will surely do the material justice, which grows increasingly relevant with each passing day.

Ike Barinholtz (The Studio) has been cast as Elon Musk in Guadagnino's Artificial, joining the likes of Andrew Garfield, Monica Barbaro (A Complete Unknown), and Yura Borisov (Anora). As previously reported, Musk's role in the script for the film serves primarily as comedic relief, so Barinholtz's casting, especially after his fantastic performance in The Studio, seems like a perfectly inspired choice by Guadagnino. However, Barinholtz is now tasked with playing one of the most controversial (and hated) people on the planet. So, no pressure,...

I Know What You Did Last Summer Worldwide Box Office: Update After 4 Days ( Photo Credit – Instagram )

I Know What You Did Last Summer had an underwhelming start this weekend, its opening weekend. But it has achieved an interesting feat regarding its return on investment: It has earned more than half of its breakeven number worldwide in just four days. Keep scrolling for the deets.

The film debuted at #3 in the domestic box office chart, and it’s not its fault as Hollywood tentpole releases are hogging all the limelight. It is a reboot of the Og classic, which was released in 1997. The film maintains a stronghold at the 3rd rank and is expected to continue until Thursday. On Friday, The Fantastic Four: First Steps will be released, pushing it further down in the list. The Big 3 – Superman, Jurassic World Rebirth, and The Fantastic Four: First Steps will dominate the box office.

Jennifer Love Hewitt has a brilliant idea, and we’re hoping the 9-1-1 creative team listens to it. On the heels of opening weekend for Jennifer Kaytin Robinson’s I Know What You Did Last Summer, which sees Hewitt reprise the role of Julie James after nearly three decades since originating it, the actress grabbed a seat opposite Tommy Didario on his I’ve Never Said This Before podcast. It was there that she came up with and spitballed her plans for a one-of-a-kind event that would see 9-1-1 pay homage to the iconic slasher franchise.

During the pair’s chat, the star of the beloved ABC procedural was musing about what might happen to her character — 911 dispatcher Maddie Han — in upcoming episodes when she struck gold with a killer idea:

“What if I get a call at the 911 call center from a girl being chased by a fisherman?...

Even though some fans may be disappointed that Julie and Ray are no longer together in the new I Know What You Did Last Summer movie, Freddie Prinze Jr. agrees that the characters should be divorced. While both Freddie Prinze Jr. and Jennifer Love Hewitt appear in the new slasher film, it primarily follows a new group of characters who are hunted by the Fishermen.

Chase Sui Wonders and Madelyn Cline lead the cast of the legacy sequel, which sees history repeat itself as their friend group accidently causes the death of a Southport resident. Even though anticipation was high for the sequel, many fans don't agree with certain story decisions, which has led to plenty of negative reviews for I Know What You Did Last Summer.

One of these controversial story decisions was splitting up Julie and Ray, who were last seen as a happy couple at the end...

The latest legacy sequel to a ‘90s slasher classic may hit many familiar notes, but its final act sets up some truly ambitious surprises that will shock franchise fans

Warning: This feature has Heavy Spoilers for 2025’s I Know What You Did Last Summer.

It’s been 27 years since an I Know What You Did Last Summer film was in theaters. The horror landscape has significantly evolved since the late ‘90s, yet there’s been more and more of a push to return to the nostalgic creature comforts of the past. Legacy sequels have become the new normal and the past decade has featured follow-ups to Halloween, The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, Candyman, and even The Exorcist. This practice has become increasingly normalized to the point that a legacy sequel to 1997’s I Know What You Did Last Summer makes perfect sense, especially during a time where Scream’s own...

The director of the latest I Know What You Did Last Summer movie knows about Jennifer Love Hewitt and Freddie Prinze Jr.’s chemistry in the new film.

Sony’s feature reboot from director Jennifer Kaytin Robinson hit theaters over the weekend, landing in third place at the domestic box office with $12.7 million. Madelyn Cline, Chase Sui Wonders, Jonah Hauer-King, Tyriq Withers and Sarah Pidgeon round out the cast for the latest entry in the slasher franchise that kicked off with the original 1997 film of the same name.

A social media user’s post on Saturday asked fellow fans whether they thought Hewitt and Prinze — who reprise their roles from the original movie and its sequel — “filmed their scenes together” in the 2025 installment. “People are starting to notice the ‘cuts and separate shots,'” the post continued.

Robinson was quick to clear up any confusion surrounding the pair’s scenes.

There’s a new sequel to the 1997 slasher I Know What You Did Last Summer (watch it Here) and its 1998 follow-up I Still Know What You Did Last Summer (watch that one Here) in theatres now (JoBlo’s own Tyler Nichols gave it a 4/10 “dumpster fire” review that can be read at This Link). Jennifer Love Hewitt, who played heroine Julie James in the first two films, and Freddie Prinze Jr., who was Julie’s boyfriend Ray Bronson in those films, reprise their roles – and they’re facing off with a new “Fisherman” killer that’s stalking a whole new cast. One of those new cast members is Madelyn Cline (Outer Banks), who revealed during a conversation with The Hollywood Reporter that some reshoots were filmed just last month! There were some Spoilers in the conversation, so beware of the quotes below.

Jennifer Kaytin Robinson (Do Revenge) directed the film...

Jennifer Love Hewitt’s return to I Know What You Did Last Summer came down to a deep “love” of the horror franchise.The 45-year-old actress is reprising her role as Julie James nearly 30 years after first appearing in the iconic teen slasher, and has now credited the new film’s creative team with bringing the franchise back with a lot of heart. She told Variety of director Jennifer Kaytin Robinson and co-writer Sam Lansky: “What was very apparent from the word ‘Go’ is how much both of them loved the original movie.“I feel like, if you’re going to go back and make something new but pay homage to an original, you have to love it. You have to understand it. “So, I was just blown away and it meant a lot to me.”The new instalment, set for release in 2025, follows a fresh group of teenagers in Southport,...

The following contains major spoilers for I Know What You Did Last Summer.

The I Know What You Did Last Summerfranchise is back with a new entry. The film is a direct sequel to 1998's I Still Know What You Did Last Summer, and it brings back two original stars, Jennifer Love Hewitt, who played Julie James, and Freddie Prinze Jr., who played Ray Bronson.

Once the film hit theaters, fans were treated to a surprise cameo from one of the original stars - Sarah Michelle Gellar. The actor played Helen Shivers in the 1997 original I Know What You Did Last Summer, and, although she is dead in the franchise, was featured in a dream sequence in the new film. Since she's a part of the new slasher, Gellar surprised moviegoers in theaters, and even saw a familiar face in the audience - her own nanny, per her own Instagram.

If you wait long enough, everything comes back around. Still, so much time has passed since the 1998 slasher I Know What You Did Last Summer, fans might not know what they did last weekend, let alone 27 years ago.

But then six _Scream_s can’t be wrong, so back we go to Southport, North Carolina, for this glossy legacy sequel, which introduces likeable Ava (Chase Sui Wonders), ditzy Danica (Madelyn Cline), jock Teddy (Tyriq Withers), mopey Milo (Jonah Hauer-King) and odd-one-out Stevie (Sarah Pidgeon), whose defining characteristic is that she’s poor. A year after accidentally killing someone – on Reaper’s Curve, no less – they start receiving notes saying, “I know what you did last summer”, then getting picked off one by one.

What’s different this time? A fresh, largely female crew, headed by director Jennifer Kaytin Robinson (Do Revenge) and co-writer Leah McKendrick (Mfa). And the return of...

The director of the I Know What You Did Last Summerreboot explains why one original cast member did not appear. The slasher horror franchise is back this year, as a new group of friends are stalked by a hooked-handed killer who knows about a dark secret from their past. This installment is directed by Jennifer Kaytin Robinson.

The cast of this horror reboot is full of a lot of new faces. This includes Madelyn Cline, Chase Sui Wonders, Tyriq Withers, and Jonah Hauer-King. However, the 2025 I Know What You Did Last Summer cast also includes Sarah Michelle Gellar, Freddie Prinze Jr., and Jennifer Love Hewitt returning to their lead roles.

Now, Robinson explains to People why Ryan Phillippe did not return in I Know What You Did Last Summer. The writer-director explained that including Phillippe's character "just got to be too much," so Barry Cox was relegated to a shoutout.

“Nostalgia is overrated.”

Warning: This feature has Heavy Spoilers for 2025’s I Know What You Did Last Summer.

Pop culture has reached a dangerous inflection point where everything old is new again. It’s no longer enough to franchise out IP and reboot beloved classics, but the past decade has been rich in legacy sequels that are largely dependent on the power of nostalgia. There are so many hollow legacy sequels that coast on inauthentic sentimentality that cinema has reached a point where these franchise extensions feel inevitable, rather than exciting. Legacy horror sequels like Exorcist: Believer, Halloween Ends, and Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2022) hit diminishing returns. A project like a new I Know What You Did Last Summer almost seems set up to fail by this metric, yet Jennifer Kaytin Robinson’s movie becomes a powerful commentary on the benefits and dangers of nostalgia. A narrative tug-of-war takes over the...

The following contains major spoilers for I Know What You Did Last Summer, in theaters now.

I Know What You Did Last Summerstar Madelyn Cline explains the new movie's last minute changes.

Speaking to The Hollywood Reporter, Cline opened up about the fact that test audiences were overtly upset by the death of her character, Danica, in the newly-released I Know What You Did Last Summer threequel. According to Cline, she "only got the news that I was coming back about two-and-a-half weeks ago," leading to a round of reshoots in which it is shown that Danica did indeed survive her ordeal with the latest murderous Fisherman.

Directed by Robinson from a screenplay co-written with Sam Lansky, I Know What You Did Last Summeris a sequel to 1998's I Still Know What You Did Last Summer and 1997's I Know What You Did Last Summer, completely ignoring 2006's much-maligned supernaturally-charged direct-to-video threequel,...

Update July 20, 2025: Superman is still flying high at the box office.

DC Studios and Warner Bros.' James Gunn-led reboot soared to another box-office victory over the July 18-20 weekend, earning $57.3 million domestically — marking a 54 percent drop from its opening weekend. Universal's Jurassic World Rebirth roared into second place with $23.4 million in its third week, while new releases from Sony's I Know What You Did Last Summer ($13 million) and Paramount's Smurfs ($11 million) struggled with underwhelming openings. Warner Bros.' F1: The Movie rounded out the top five with $9.6 million.

Superman is just the latest success story for Warner Bros. this year — the studio's sixth number-one movie following Mickey 17, A Minecraft Movie, Sinners, Final Destination: Bloodlines, and F1. Warner Bros. currently ranks as the top studio of 2025, with $1.32 billion in domestic receipts. However, that position may shift as Disney's highly anticipated Fantastic Four: First Steps is...

Spoiler Alert: This story contains major spoilers from “I Know What You Did Last Summer,” now in theaters.

Sarah Michelle Gellar never thought there would be an “I Know What You Did Last Summer” movie released in 2025.

“I don’t think I had that one pegged,” Gellar told me Thursday at the taping of the Las Culturistas Culture Awards in Los Angeles.

The new movie, directed and co-written by Jennifer Kaytin Robinson, follows a group of former high school friends being targeted by a serial killer a year after they were involved in a deadly car accident.

“Jenn Robinson brought it up to me like three or four years ago – this has been a long process – I thought, ‘It’s such a good idea, but you don’t know. Do people still love the movie? Do people still watch the movie?’” Gellar said.

Just days before Las Culturistas, Gellar appeared...

“Superman” continues to rule the worldwide box office, powering to $406 million after two weekends of release.

Those ticket sales include $171.8 million overseas and $235 million from the North American market. Turnout remains softer than expected at the international box office, where “Superman” added $45.2 million in its second weekend. Outsized global appeal is vital because the comic book reboot, starring David Corenswet as the Man of Steel, has the lofty goal of launching a new phase of superhero movies for the Warner Bros.-backed DC Studios. Two interconnected spinoffs, “Supergirl” and “Clayface,” will land in 2026, while a new “Wonder Woman” movie is in the works. Plus, “Superman” will face steep competition next weekend as another comic book adventure, Disney and Marvel’s “The Fantastic Four,” opens in theaters.

Meanwhile, Universal’s “Jurassic World Rebirth” had another huge showing with $40.2 million from 82 overseas territories in its third weekend of release. So far, the...

Superman has transformed into a bonafide crowd pleaser at the box office in a much-needed inaugural win for the Warner Bros.-owned DC Studios, which is run together by James Gunn — also the film’s director — and producer Peter Safran.

The big-budget tentpole was all but assured of staying atop the domestic box office in its second weekend, but estimates were all over the place as to how it would hold up.

But, buoyed by strong word-of-mouth and reviews, it declined a less-than-expected 54 percent to $57.2 million for a pleasing 10-day domestic tally of $235 million through Sunday. That’s a narrow decline for the struggling superhero genre and the same as Marvel’s summer 2024 billion-dollar blockbuster Deadpool & Wolverine. Overseas — where the franchise has always faced challenges because of the comic book character’s pro-American traits — Superman earned another $45.2 million for an international tally of $171.8 million and $406.8 globally in a major win for DC and Warners,...

The original cast of I Know What You Did Last Summer, Jennifer Love Hewitt and Freddie Prinze Jr., reunited, alongside Sarah Michelle Gellar, at the Los Angeles premiere of the fourth installment in the I Know What You Did Last Summer franchise.

Jump to a Look:

1. Classic Drama: Jennifer Love Hewitt in Aquazzura Pumps & Rachel Gilbert Dress 2. Whimsical Glam: Sarah Michelle Gellar in Orange Le Silla Pumps & Butterfly Dress 3. Romantic Minimalism: Madelyn Cline in Paris Texas Mules & Conner Ives Gown 4. Sultry Sparkle: Chase Sui Wonders in Aquazzura Heels & Wiederhoeft Lingerie Look 5.

But more than just a nostalgic reunion, the black carpet event turned into a fashion showcase. From the ‘90s stars making a fashionable comeback in eye-catching, whimsical dresses to the next wave of scream stars showcasing fresh glam in pastels, the black carpet offered a chic blend of retro charm and modern edge.

Warning: Spoilers Ahead!

The 2025 reboot of I Know What You Did Last Summer is now in theaters, and director Jennifer Kaytin Robinson is addressing the movie’s divisive twist.

In the film, similar to the 1997 original 1997, a group of friends are terrorized by a stalker who knows about a gruesome incident from their past.

But the director revealed that she knew not everyone would love this new movie’s ending.

Keep reading to find out more…

In the 2025 movie, one of the film’s killers is revealed to be Ray Bronson, the character Freddie Prinze Jr. originated in the first film.

His character’s motive is that he’s angry the town has erased the 1997 massacre to promote tourism, so he reminds everyone of the fisherman’s murder spree by helping his employee Stevie (Sarah Pidgeon) get revenge on her friends who caused a deadly car accident.

Julie James (Jennifer Love Hewitt...

Having risen to fame in the late ’90s, Jennifer Love Hewitt was among the many starlets caught in the crosshairs of bubblegum misogyny in the early aughts, particularly when it came to tabloid media and paparazzi.

In a sprawling profile with Vulture tied to the return of scream queen Julie James in the legacy sequel I Know What You Did Last Summer, Hewitt said she only recently realized she experienced sexism en masse while viewing the documentary Framing Britney Spears, which exposes the harsh treatment the singer received from the public and media at the height of her fame and conservatorship.

“When I started watching it, I was like, ‘Oh, they talked to me like that, oh.’ I started crying for her. And then I realized I was crying for me,” the actress said.

The 9-1-1 mainstay said the reality of her experience “bothers” her moreso now as she...

During a recent interview with Vulture, Jennifer Love Hewitt said she hasn’t spoken to her “I Know What You Did Last Summer” co-star Sarah Michelle Gellar since the slasher debuted in 1997. Despite the lack of communication, Hewitt maintains there is no beef between them.

“I honestly don’t even know what that was or how that all came to be,” Hewitt said of her rumored feud with Gellar. “I just think people don’t want the narrative to be easy. Why do we always have to be against each other and out for each other?”

She continued, “I haven’t seen Sarah. Literally, we’ve not talked since I saw her at 18 years old when the first movie came out. That’s why it’s so funny to me. People were like, ‘Say something back’ And I’m like, ‘What am I going to say? I’ve not seen her.

In 2021, when the “Framing Britney Spears” documentary dropped, most people were probably not likening the story to Jennifer Love Hewitt’s career. The overwhelming discourse Hewitt was subjected to in the late-’90s as a teen actress — in the middle of a string of hits including “Party of Five,” “Can’t Hardly Wait,” and the original “I Know What You Did Last Summer” — was so normalized at the time that no one questioned how it could have impacted the actress. Hewitt herself hadn’t really seemed to think about it, either. But then she watched the Britney FX/Hulu doc.

“When I started watching it, I was like, ‘Oh, they talked to me like that. Oh,'” Hewitt said in an interview with Vulture. “I started crying for her. And then I realized I was crying for me.”

The “911” actress went on to explain how the constant conversations in the...

Spoilers: This post contains details about I Know What You Did Last Summer (2025)

As I Know What You Did Last Summer slashes its way into a new generation, Jennifer Kaytin Robinson‘s requel has plenty of surprises in store for fans of the Og.

The latest horror franchise to come back from the dead, amid the likes of Halloween and Scream, the followup to the 1997 slasher flick and its ’98 sequel I Still Know What You Did Last Summer takes some big swings with its killer reveal, as well as some top-secret cameos that longtime fans will appreciate.

With Jennifer Love Hewitt and Freddie Prinze Jr. reprising their roles from the previous two films as survivors and high school sweethearts Julie James and Ray Bronson, nostalgia was inevitably going to be a major factor in this new installment, which also boasts a young cast of new potential victims (and suspects), including Chase Sui Wonders,...

I was in high school when I Know What You Did Last Summer hit theaters in 1997. Like many teens, I was excited by the sudden revival of the teen slasher genre, spearheaded by Scream and its many sequels. I Know What You Did Last Summer, while never quite on the level of Scream, was a solid enough slasher that made a lasting impression. It catapulted Jennifer Love Hewitt—already popular thanks to Party of Five—into full-fledged “It Girl” status, while Freddie Prinze Jr. and Ryan Phillippe quickly became rising stars. Sarah Michelle Gellar, of course, was already a household name thanks to Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

The sequel, I Still Know What You Did Last Summer, flopped, as did the direct-to-video third film, and a poorly received Prime Video series that ignored the original films altogether.

Now, Sony is hoping to revive the franchise with I Know What You Did Last Summer...

“Superman” is still atop the hierarchy of power at the box office in its second weekend, flying above new wide releases “I Know What You Did Last Summer,” “Smurfs” and “Eddington.”

The DC Studios universe-rebooter earned $16.6 million on its second Friday to boost its domestic total to $194.4 million. Factoring out preview screenings from last week’s opening day gross, that’s a 50% drop. The Warner Bros. release has pushed ahead of fellow superhero feature “Thunderbolts*” ($189 million) to now rank as the eighth-highest grossing North American release of the calendar year.

“Superman” should fly to a $235 million domestic total through its first 10 days. Comic book adaptations have become susceptible to hard plummets, given how fans can front-load sales by flocking to opening weekend screenings. The James Gunn-directed “Superman” looks to avoid that fate and resonate beyond its property’s built-in groupies. As comps, Gunn’s three “Guardians of the Galaxy” films had second-weekend drops,...

This article contains spoilers for "I Know What You Did Last Summer."

If you're a casual fan of slasher films, you may think an article about who the killer turns out to be in the latest "I Know What You Did Last Summer" movie is fairly standard. Yet the property, despite its resemblance to other slasher franchises, has a few subversive tricks up its sleeve. For one thing, even though it's technically a whodunit film series carrying on the template that began in Lois Duncan's source novel, the reveal of who the killer or killers are in each film isn't typical. To wit: Ben Willis (Muse Watson) was the killer in both the original 1997 movie and its sequel, 1998's "I Still Know What You Did Last Summer," which added Willis' son Will (Matthew Settle) as his accomplice. In the direct-to-video sequel "I'll Always Know What You Did Last Summer,...

I Know What You Did Last Summer is back, and it features some exciting changes. The slasher franchise premiered in 1997 and has featured some unsuccessful sequels, each entry getting worse reviews from both critics and the audience.

The 2025 legacy sequel changes all that. The new entry has Jennifer Kaytin Robinson at the helm, and a brand-new group of friends with a dark secret, but it also brings back two legacy characters: Julie James (Jennifer Love Hewitt) and Ray Bronson (Freddie Prinze Jr.). I Know What You Did Last Summer is officially out in theaters, and it has critics and audiences in disagreement on Rotten Tomatoes, while also featuring a very exciting franchise first.

I Know What You Did Last Summer debuted with a "rotten" 46% score from the critics. While that sounds awful for every new release out there, its initial score was a franchise best, ahead of the 1997 original with 45%. However,...

Navigating relationships can be tricky. It takes patience, understanding, and solid communication to keep the chemistry firing on all cylinders, whether with your romantic partner or otherwise. Sometimes, when your best friend is of the opposite sex, the green-eyed monster of jealousy can rear its ugly head. Will (Seth Rogen) and Sylvia’s (Rose Byrne) friendship is iron-clad, but at what cost to others in their orbit? In the new trailer for Platonic Season 2, Will and Sylvia test the boundaries of their mutual adoration while trying to keep their repressed emotions in check.

The 10-episode sophomore season will premiere globally on Wednesday, August 6, 2025 on Apple TV+, with the first two episodes, followed by one episode weekly until October 1, 2025.

Co-created, directed and co-written by Nick Stoller and Francesca Delbanco, Platonic Season 2 picks up with everyone’s favourite pair of best friends (Rogen and Byrne) as they contend with new midlife hurdles,...

James Gunn’s Superman leapt past the $300 million mark at the worldwide box office on Thursday as it heads into its second weekend. That number includes an impressive domestic haul of $177.7 million after enjoying strong midweek business.

The DC Studios and Warner Bros. superhero pic will have no trouble staying atop the chart in its sophomore outing and is trouncing new offerings I Know What You Did Last Summer and Smurfs. Both films are reboots, and are projected to open to less than $13 million domestically.

From Sony’s Screen Gems, the R-rated horror pic I Know What You Did Last Summer earned $2.2 million in Thursday previews. While Jennifer Love Hewitt and Freddie Prinze Jr. reprise their roles from the original films, the new installment otherwise introduces a host of newcomers to the series, including Madelyn Cline, Chase Sui Wonders, Jonah Hauer-King, Tyriq Withers, Sarah Pidgeon and Gabbriette Bechtel.

I Know What You Did Last Summer's Rotten Tomatoes score has set a surprising franchise record. Co-written and directed by Jennifer Kaytin Robinson, the latest film in the slasher franchise features a new group of friends who are targeted by another hook-wielding killer one year after they covered up a car accident in which they supposedly killed someone.

The I Know What You Did Last Summer cast is comprised almost entirely of franchise newcomers, including Madelyn Cline, Chase Sui Wonders, Jonah Hauer-King, Tyriq Withers, Sarah Pidgeon, Billy Campbell, and Austin Nichols. However, Jennifer Love Hewitt and Freddie Prinze Jr. return to reprise their roles as Julie James and Ray Bronson, after appearing in the first two films.

Now, on the day of its theatrical release, I Know What You Did Last Summer hasdebuted with a 69% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes. The movie only has 100+ verified ratings at the time of writing,...

“I Know What You Did Last Summer” slashed its way to $2.2 million in Thursday previews, while A24’s “Eddington,” a satire set during the height of the pandemic, picked up $625,000. Paramount’s “Smurfs,” the weekend’s other major new release, didn’t hold preview screenings.

The three films, which are aimed at vastly different age groups and demographics, are unlikely to unseat “Superman” from its throne. The superhero reboot dominated the domestic box office last weekend, earning $125 million and is expected to repeat as champ, earning $55 million to $62 million in its second weekend of release. That would be a 50% to 55% drop, a respectable result that “Superman,” which was well-liked by critics and audiences, should pull off. The film needs to keep packing in crowds as it cost $225 million to produce and is intended to launch a new phase of superhero films for DC Studios and its parent company, Warner Bros. Discovery.

The original “I Know What You Did Last Summer” instantly became an iconic horror film in 1997 thanks to its impeccably cast ensemble consisting of Jennifer Love Hewitt, Freddie Prinze Jr., Sarah Michelle Gellar, and Ryan Phillippe. Hewitt and Prinze have now returned to reprise their characters in the requel of the same title, but once she had them aboard, co-writer and director Jennifer Kaytin Robinson faced a daunting challenge: finding rising stars to play the new characters who could live up to the standard set by the first movie.

“I tried not to think too much about the pressure of it all, because then you can just drive yourself insane,” Robinson told IndieWire on an upcoming episode of the Filmmaker Toolkit podcast. “For me, it was always just about wanting to find the people that disappeared into the roles, and also the alchemy of the five of them together. Because you can have five actors,...

I Know What You Did Last Summer Movie Review: A Sequel That Clings To Ghosts Of The Past (Photo Credit – Instagram)

What’s Good: The slasher formula remains true and proven, so watching the characters die is always fun.

What’s Bad: The revival doesn’t do anything to stand out, and what is there feels rather generic and played out.

Loo Break: Missing the killings might be a bad idea when they are the only element that really makes the film watchable.

Watch or Not?: Only watch if you are a huge fan of the slasher genre. If you aren’t, there is very little here to justify the ticket price.

Language: English (with...

Some legendary divas just refuse to stay down forever. The 2025 sequel to I Know What You Did Last Summer is a genuinely refreshing, stylish, and totally unexpected resurrection of an underrated ’90s classic, pairing glossy next-gen mayhem with a distinctly vintage slasher flair. It’s the perfect Brat Summer massacre, a red Solo cup brimming with sun‑soaked dread and a killer with an appreciation for theatrics.

Directed by Jennifer Kaytin Robinson (Do Revenge), the film Trojan-horses traditional horror tropes in neon and camp, weaponizing style and good taste in order to sharpen every silly little beat. The story picks up decades after the original, with a new set of fresh-faced friends: privileged, chaotic, well-intended, and guilty as sin. A year after an unfortunately tame Fourth‑of‑July roadside accident, a brand new “I know what you did last summer” note kicks off a methodically tense and surprisingly funny killing spree.

It's always great to watch an acting duo who have an on-screen chemistry that has snowballed into a very robust relationship off-screen. It always helps, especially when they have to star alongside each other in rom-coms. The entire experience is elevated on the strength of their synergy. On the red carpet for the premiere of I Know What You Did Last Summer earlier this week, Freddie Prinze Jr. revealed to Deadline that he’s gearing up to shoot a brand-new holiday romantic comedy, The Christmas Affair. Even better? He’ll be reuniting with a familiar face, his She’s All Thatco-star, Rachael Leigh Cook.

The project will mark a full-circle moment for both stars, who have worked closely in previous films. According to the actor, filming will take place in New York City this October and November. The project promises to be more than just a sugary holiday flick, bringing...

In the twenty-seven and a half years since the first incarnation of I Know What You Did Last Summer assaulted movie theaters in 1997, the film has spawned a 1998 sequel as well as a 2021 television series. Now, the story returns to theaters with a reinvented version that does little to warrant the continuation of the franchise moving forward, despite multiple nods to previous installments that will surely please fans of the series.

As did the original film, this one begins with a lengthy prologue of sorts that sets up the unfolding of events throughout the story. A year ago, five friends accidentally cause the death of a motorist in a car accident. But it is their pact to cover up the incident and their involvement that leads to deadly consequences on the anniversary of the “murder,” when they begin receiving messages that someone knows what they did. Then, one by one,...

I Know What You Did Last Summer is back with a new entry. The 1997 original starred Jennifer Love Hewitt, Freddie Prinze Jr., Sarah Michelle Gellar, and Ryan Phillippe.

The new legacy sequel brought back Hewitt and Prinze Jr., the only remaining survivors of the two installments. However, although Gellar refused to return, given that her character was killed in the first installment, she attended the new sequel's premiere to support her husband, Prinze Jr. Since Gellar had no interactions with Hewitt, the internet started speculating that the two had a feud, something Gellar clarified on her Instagram immediately.

I Know What You Did Last Summer is back again, but this time with a reboot that drags the old story into fresh waters with new faces, old scars, and the same killer hook. A year after yet another accident, another group of friends ends up being hunted by the Fisherman, the figure that never seems to hang up his raincoat. The new film, directed by Jennifer Kaytin Robinson, tries to blend nostalgia with modern frights, and while it lands a few punches, most critics are not biting.

I Know What You Did Last Summer Rotten Tomatoes Score

This time, Madelyn Cline, Jonah Hauer-King, Chase Sui Wonders, Tyriq Withers, Sarah Pidgeon, and Billy Campbell lead the cast. However, the return of Jennifer Love Hewitt and Freddie Prinze Jr., stepping back in as Julie and Ray from the 1997 original, has been hyped the most.

Chicago – The original 1997 “I Know What You Did Last Summer” was – in the vernacular of “Seinfeld” – a “time slot hit.” Coming from writer Kevin Williamson of the original “Scream” movie, it cashed on the late 1990’s slasher revival by playing off an association with a proven hit without offering anything particularly distinctive or memorable. It was successful, but it wasn’t all that good.

This legacy reboot, taking another page from the Scream playbook, fails to improve on the original. But it does introduce a group of Gen Z protagonists who make you want to root for the sinister Gorton’s Fisherman who’s impaling them with various pieces of fishing gear, including that famous hook.
