Freddie Prinze Jr. Officially Joins New I KNOW WHAT YOU DID LAST SUMMER Movie
Freddie Prinze Jr. has officially joined the cast of the upcoming I Know What You Did Last Summer film, which is going to be a sequel to the original 1997 horror movie.
Jennifer Love Hewitt is also currently in talks to reprise her role as well. They will star alongside Chase Sui Wonders, Madelyn Cline, Sarah Pidgeon, Tyriq Withers and Jonah Haur-King.
Riverdale’s Camila Mendes was originally cast in the film, but she recently stepped away from it due to scheduling conflicts. It probably has something to do with her role in the Masters of the Universe movie that is in development.
Years after the first film was released, Prinze revealed that he nearly quit the movie because director Jim Gillespie was “such an asshole” to him on set. He said there was tension because the director wanted to cast another actor, Jeremy Sisto, in the role that eventually went to Prinze.
Prinze said: “It was a struggle to finish work every day. I was in pain every single day on that movie. However, it prepared me for this business in a way. That Was Pretty Scary.
“I’m forever grateful to Jim for being such an asshole because I’ve never met one like that since…no other director I’ve met felt crossing those lines would be OK. I’ve been prepared for every lesser A-hole in the business.”
I’m sure this time around will be a better experience for the actor. The movie is being directed by Jennifer Kaytin Robinson (Do Revenge, Someone Great). She also co-wrote the script with Sam Lansky from a draft by Leah McKendrick (Scrambled). Neal Moritz is returning as a producer.
Sony Pictures will release the film in theaters on July 18, 2025.
