Announced back in February of this year, Jennifer Kaytin Robinson (Do Revenge) will be directing a brand new I Know What You Did Last Summer sequel for Sony Pictures, with Jennifer Love Hewitt and Freddie Prinze Jr. both said to be in talks to reprise their roles from the original two slasher movies. But let’s hold that thought for just a second.
Speaking with TooFab last week, Freddie Prinze Jr. makes it clear that he hasn’t actually been offered a role in the new movie. And that means he certainly hasn’t signed on to star.
“I have been offered nothing, nothing,” the actor clarifies. “They just said that to get people excited. I haven’t spoken to anyone at their company, my agents haven’t received an offer from them whatsoever. I had a conversation with the director a few days after they announced that, just to be like, ‘Yo, what the hell? Why are they saying I’m going to be in a movie that I’m probably not going to be in?’ And she said, ‘Let me pitch you the idea.’ So she’s spoken to me about the idea, but I haven’t said yes, I haven’t received an offer.”
Prinze Jr. continues, “I have no reason to lie to anyone, I have no skin in the game. I’m only gonna do things that I like and work with people that I like and there’s not gonna be any wiggle room this time around. I messed up the first time around; this time I just want to do stuff I’m passionate about. So yeah. I haven’t read a script.”
It sounds like this one is still a developing story at this time, so stay tuned.
Jim Gillespie directed the original I Know What You Did Last Summer back in 1997, written by Kevin Williamson (Scream) and based on Lois Duncan’s novel. The film spawned sequels in 1998 and 2006. Jennifer Love Hewitt and Freddie Prinze Jr. only came back for that first sequel.
In the 1997 slasher movie, “Four young friends bound by a tragic accident are reunited when they find themselves being stalked by a hook-wielding maniac in their small seaside town.”
