Sony will reboot the teen horror franchise I Know What You Did Last Summer with Oculus' Mike Flanagan writing the script, The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed.
He and co-writer Jeff Howard, with whom Flanagan wrote Oculus, will take a new stab at the 1997 slasher film in which four friends are hunted by a murderer after they cover up an accident in which someone was killed.

Sony-based Neal Moritz (22 Jump Street) will produce through his Original Film banner. Moritz produced the original version, which starred Jennifer Love Hewitt, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Ryan Phillippe and Freddie Prinze Jr and was scripted by The Following creator, Kevin Williamson. It grossed $125 million and launched a sequel the following year, which Moritz also produced.

The films are based on the 1973 young-adult suspense novel by Lois Duncan, whose book Down a Dark Hall is currently in development at Lionsgate.

You just know what somebody in the meeting to get this reboot going must have yelled.

"we need a big titted teen for a reboot!"

 

[Protein]

Will Jennifer Love Huge..Hewitt be in it?

 

[Arkos]

*Facepalm* ok the reboots are finally starting to get to me

 

[daffy]

Fucking yes

 

[WesternHeretic]

Ah.. the movie that introduce me to Jennifer Love Hewitt.

Good times... good times.

 

[TAJ]

"we need a big titted teen for a reboot!"

Such an easy first post layup and you threw the ball into the stands.

 

[SneakySneaks]

Let's see if this one is closer to the novel

Spoiler

which is not a Scream rip-off or Giallo, just a suspense novel with hardly any deaths

.

 

[jon bones]

yissss

 

[Slayven]

Saw both in theaters, no regrets.

 

[SneakySneaks]

Saw both in theaters, no regrets.

But have you seen the third one?

Yes there is a third one.

 

[sixteen-bit]

When's the reboot of I Know Who Killed Me?

 

[MIMIC]

Scary Movie version: WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR, HUH?!

 

[Slayven]

But have you seen the third one?

Yes there is a third one.

I did not know this. But I have seen 75% of the Land before time movies.

 

[entremet]

Will Jennifer Love Huge..Hewitt be in it?

She had a baby and settled down recently.

 

[anaron]

shared universe with Scream

 

[Escape Goat]

"we need a big titted teen for a reboot!"

Jennifer Love Huge tits!

 

[massoluk]

But we already knew what the did last summer.

 

[-duskdoll-]

Let's hope it doesn't suck. The only reboot i enjoyed was of The Evil Dead.

Yeah the association with Scream is purely correlary. Same writer (and Williamson did a good job on IKWYDLS) and time period, but the book existed long before, and it's a "straight" horror film. Williamson later did Teaching (Killing) Mrs Tingle by the same author of IKWYDLS.

I hope it's a reboot rather than a remake. The original is a classic of 90's horror

 

[anaron]

Jennifer Love Huge tits!

"she's gone and she's not coming back!"

 

[Escape Goat]

"she's gone and she's not coming back!"

I love her running away. Anna Farris was so good in those movies.

[plasmawave]

I don't know...

On the other hand, horror movies for the most part have been pretty stale these days, so I guess it's cool?

 

[Extra Sauce]

Let's hope it doesn't suck. The only reboot i enjoyed was of The Evil Dead.

The ending was a letdown though after all that buildup about "the Abomination".

 

[NoctisVsStar]

Buffy looked great in that movie boy she's hot.. Shoutouts to Sarah

 

[EulaCapra]

Not sure how I feel about this. They can use the name, but I hope they don't just rehash the plot and setting and characters.

Sarah Michelle Gellar's long ass chase was brutal yet so good. And Brandy jumping off a roof and crashing into a greenhouse lol.

Brandy was in the sequel right?

 

[Arkos]

Brandy was in the sequel right?

Along with Jack Black as the stereotypical white wannabe Jamaican stoner

Edit: Brasiliaaaa

 

[StopMakingSense]

THE CAPITAL OF BRAZIL IS BRASILIA.

 

[illmatic22]

yeah sure why not

 

[MrCunningham]

I know what you did last summer will always be the poor mans Scream, and I didn't even really like Scream 3 or 4. The first two are still alright though. The third movie in the 'I Know What You Did" series was straight to video hillaribad and had one greatest twist endings ever. It was so random, that I don't think anyone could have seen it coming.

But If you are going to remake a series, might as well take a mediocre one an try to make it better.

 

[MagnaderAlpha]

Was never a fan of that post-Scream/late 90s-00s "CW horror"(where stars from Party of Five, Buffy and such were casted to appeal to kids who loved those shows). That being said, bring on the reboot, as long as it goes for an new take on the material. Don't feel obliged in trying to capture the late 90s feel(it's not the late 90s anymore and that kinda of CW horror" isn't in style anymore).

And yeah, I'd be up for a more "true to the novel" take. It would definitely be different than the J. Love Hewitt flick!

 

[Timeless]

Disappointed that they aren't being inspired by Arthur.

[zeemumu]

Rebooting series that rely on twists doesn't seem like a good idea. Even if you change it, we're all going to be expecting it.

 

[J10]

Who was asking for this?

 

[jwk94]

shared universe with Scream

wait, seriously?

 

[StuBurns]

wait, seriously?

SMG dies in both, seems unlikely.

 

[Sho_Nuff82]

I saw this movie in theaters while visiting my eventual alma mater my senior year in HS. No Hollywood, this is too soon.

SMG dies in both, seems unlikely.

Doesn't mean a thing, look at Raid 1/2 or the Kevin Smith films.

Did anyone see part 3? The twist at the end to explain the killer's amazing ability to be multiple places at once was

Spoiler

he was a g-g-g-ghost!

 

[x-Lundz-x]

I'm cool with this. We need to good horror movies.

 

[jwk94]

SMG dies in both, seems unlikely.

I really shouldn't have read that =/ whoops.

 

[StuBurns]

I really shouldn't have read that =/ whoops.

Shit, sorry.

 

[Banjotanooki]

I know what you did last summer
I still know what you did last summer
I'll always know what you did last summer

.....I remembered what you did last summer?

 

[jwk94]

Shit, sorry.

It's fine. Oh well.

I know what you did last summer
I still know what you did last summer
I'll always know what you did last summer

.....I remembered what you did last summer?

I forgot what you did last summer so lets do it over again?

 

[george_us]

I was about to ask why they're rebooting something so recent...until I realized the first two came out almost 20 years ago. Damn I feel old.

 

[Escape Goat]

It's fine. Oh well.

Its not like you watch these to find out who dies. Most of the casts in these types of movies end up dead. The jnteresting part is how they die.

 

[SamuelSupreme]

Jesus...does Hollywood even have an original thought these days?

 

[davepoobond]

Jesus...does Hollywood even have an original thought these days?

its always been like this

 

[James Woods]

The first one was alright.

 

[anaron]

wait, seriously?

yup, all culminating in 2017's THE KILLERS

lol

 

[hodayathink]

Jesus...does Hollywood even have an original thought these days?

You do realize the first movie was an adaptation, right?

Hollywood's been remaking movies for 80+ years, I don't know why people get so pissed off about it now.
