I KNOW WHAT YOU DID LAST SUMMER Being Remade by OCULUS Director
Sony Pictures is rebooting the 1997 teen horror movie I Know What You Did Last Summer. Why? I don't know! The studio has even hired Oculus director Mike Flanagan to develop it. I liked Oculus, and I thought the director did a solid job with it. A remake of I Know What You Did Last Summer just doesn't make sense to me though. Is Hollywood really that desperate that they have to start remaking bad '90s horror movies?
The first film was based on the 1973 novel of the same name by Lois Duncan, and it starred Jennifer Love Hewitt, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Freddie Prinze Jr., and Ryan Phillippe. The story followed a group of friends being stalked by a killer after conspiring to cover up a fatal car accident.
Neil Moritz, the producer of the original movie, is back to produce the new version. Flanagan will direct the film from his own script. I don't see why people would want to watch this, but maybe there's actually a market out there that is excited about this reboot. If there is... heaven help us all.
