Sony Pictures is gearing up to release a new legacy horror film with the newest version of the slasher film “I Know What You Did Last Summer,” and has dropped a brand new trailer for the film helmed and co-written by Jennifer Kaytin Robinson that is heading to theaters on July 18.
The cast assembled for “I Know What You Did Last Summer” features Madelyn Cline, Chase Sui Wonders, Jonah Hauer-King, Tyriq Withers, Sarah Pidgeon, Billy Campbell, Gabrielle Bechtel, Austin Nichols, Lola Tung, and Nicholas Alexander Chavez. Along with franchise actors Freddie Prinze Jr. and Jennifer Love Hewitt returning for the new installment to help carry on the horror film’s legacy, with a new batch of actors.
An official logline for the new horror film from Sony:
When five friends inadvertently cause a deadly car accident, they cover up their involvement and make a pact to keep it a secret rather than face the consequences. A year later, their past comes back to haunt them and they’re forced to confront a horrifying truth: someone knows what they did last summer…and is hell-bent on revenge. As one by one the friends are stalked by a killer, they discover this has happened before, and they turn to two survivors of the legendary Southport Massacre of 1997 for help.
“I Know What You Did Last Summer,” which originally debuted back in 1997, was part of a wave of modern slasher horror films that came out after Wes Craven‘s subversive hit “Scream,” which banked hard on casting extremely popular young/rising stars from across film and television. The original cast included Sarah Michelle Gellar (“Buffy The Vampire Slayer”), who would go on to appear in “Scream 2” a few months later.
It would go on to spawn a sequel, “I Still Know What You Did Last Summer,” a year later, bringing back “The Fisherman” killer, a direct-to-video standalone flick, and a series version at Amazon Prime Video in 2021.
