In an electrifying reveal at CinemaCon in Las Vegas, Sony showcased a tantalizing sizzle reel for the highly anticipated sequel to the iconic 1997 horror film, "I Know What You Did Last Summer." This modern follow-up brings back fan-favorites Jennifer Love Hewitt and Freddie Prinze Jr., while also introducing a host of fresh faces, including Chase Sui Wonders, Madelyn Cline, Sarah Pidgeon, Tyriq Withers, and Jonah Haur-King.
The trailer kicks off with Cline and her striking brunette partner in a lavish home, escalating the tension as she prepares for a relaxing bath—only to discover the disturbing truth: the water is not just tinted rose, but rather a chilling pool of blood! As she tries to find solace in music with her headphones, her boyfriend's horrifying fate unfolds as he meets a gruesome end at the hands of a familiar killer, evoking memories of the original 'hook killer' long before the notorious 'Scream' franchise came onto the scene. Amidst the mounting carnage, Wonders is heard anxiously declaring, "Something is coming after us," as fans get a glimpse of Hewitt, who dramatically poses the question: "Do you know what you did last summer?"
The film's gripping logline sets the stage: Five friends inadvertently triggered a deadly car accident and chose to conceal their involvement by making a secret pact. A year later, the consequences of their actions resurface, and they are hunted down by an unknown assailant, intent on bringing them to justice. In a race against time, the terrified group seeks guidance from two survivors of the notorious 1997 Southport Massacre, hoping to fend off their vengeful stalker.
Joining the spotlight alongside Hewitt and Prinze Jr. are Billy Campbell, Gabbriette Bechtel, Austin Nichols, Lola Tung, and Nicholas Alexander Chavez, adding depth to the chilling narrative.
Directed by Jennifer Kaytin Robinson, with a story crafted by Robinson and Leah McKendrick, the screenplay is a collaboration of McKendrick along with Sam Lansky, ensuring a fresh yet haunting twist to the classic tale of secrets and revenge. The film is produced by Neal H. Moritz, further raising expectations for this thrilling horror revival.
Mark your calendars—Sony is set to unleash this spine-chilling flick into theaters on July 18. Get ready for a summer of terror!
