‘I Know What You Did Last Summer’ Reboot: A Summer Must-See

As a writer and a fan of the original I Know What You Did Last Summer, Sam Lansky knew he wanted to do right by everyone who loved the original before co-writing (with Jennifer Kaytin Robinson) the script for the new reboot of the franchise. “I hope fans will have a really good time, because you will recognize things and be like, ‘Oh sh**, I see what they did there,’ in a way that will feel really fun.” One of the things fans will recognize is the return of some of the original stars. “Both Jennifer [Love Hewitt] and Freddie [Prinze Jr.] really, really cared about who these people would be all these years later, and how to bring that to the screen with so much integrity and authenticity and depth,” but also “make this really, really fun for the fans.” But ultimately, Lansky wants people to put their phones down and go see the new iteration of the franchise in theaters. “Everything is capital F, capital U, for you. When you go to a movie theater, you get to have a rare communal experience of entertainment.... This is a fun summer popcorn movie, it is meant to be a blast.” See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
