‘I Know What You Did Last Summer’ – Jennifer Love Hewitt “Can’t Confirm But Won’t Deny” She’s Back for Sequel

John Squires

Jennifer Kaytin Robinson (Do Revenge) is on board to direct the next installment in the I Know What You Did Last Summer franchise for Sony, with Leah McKendrick (M.F.A.) writing the screenplay. We don’t yet know if the original cast will be back for the new movie, but that’s something Jennifer Love Hewitt is refusing to deny at this point in time.

The actress told Entertainment Tonight over the weekend, when asked if Julie James will be returning in the upcoming sequel to the ’90s hit, “I can’t confirm but I won’t deny.”

Jennifer Love Hewitt notes in the same interview that she hasn’t yet read the script for the film, but her comments do generally seem to suggest she’s very much on board. We expect the next I Know What You Did Last Summer movie will mix new characters and legacy characters, as that tends to be the approach for this sort of franchise reboot here in the present day.

Stay tuned for more as we learn it.

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.”

More recently, the franchise returned with Amazon’s short-lived television series.
