Summer mischap's dark return unveiled in the debut trailer for the I Know What You Did Last Summer reboot
Title: I Know What You Did Last Summer's Return with a Thrilling Legacy Sequel
Sony's long- awaited I Know What You Did Last Summer remake/sequel has finally made its way to our screens! This suspenseful thriller, released in 2023, carries the torch from the 1997 original while spinning a brand-new tale. Part reboot, part sequel, this movie hopes to ride the wave of popular legacy reboots, much like Scream did.
The story unfolds in the picturesque town of Southport where a group of friends are stalked by a masked killer, infamous for his hook-wielding fury. A macabre reminder of the deadly car accident they'd rather forget, the teens find their secret is anything but buried. But who could be seeking vengeance a year later? None other than Julie James (Jennifer Love Hewitt) and Ray Bronson (Freddie Prinze Jr.), fan-favorite survivors from the first two flicks.
Directed by Jennifer Kaytin Robinson, the film is set to pass the torch from old heroes to a new generation ready to face the chilling horror of their own summer. As summer never ends, neither do slashers!
Featuring an impressive cast, the new I Know What You Did Last Summer promises to keep viewers on the edge of their seats. Alongside the returning stars, we'll see fresh faces like Madelyn Cline, Tyriq Withers, Chase Sui Wonders, and Jonah Hauer-King. With Sarah Pidgeon, Lola Tung, and Nicholas Alexander Chavez rounding out the cast, this horrifying reboot is shaping up to be a must-see!
The film's antagonist remains the iconic Ben Willis, the Fisherman, who continues his brutal, relentless pursuit of vengeance. The 2021 reboot/sequel masterfully blends the old with the new, creating a tense and gripping tale that will leave viewers wondering, 'Who will be the next to fall prey to the Fisherman's wrath?'.
