They were one of the most successful horror series of films from the tail end of the 1990s, and now Sony Pictures are looking to revive the I KNOW WHAT YOU DID LAST SUMMER movies for modern audiences.
The films, which started in 1997 with I KNOW WHAT YOU DID LAST SUMMER, before spawning sequels I STILL KNOW WHAT YOU DID LAST SUMMER and the direct-to-DVD hit I’LL ALWAYS KNOW WHAT YOU DID LAST SUMMER as recently as 2006, were hugely successful and starred the likes of Sarah Michelle Gellar, Jennifer Love Hewitt, Ryan Phillippe and Freddie Prinze, Jr.
The story, adapted from a 1970s novel by SCREAM writer Kevin Williamson, revolved around a group of high school students who are involved in a hit and run accident late one summer’s evening. Believing that the man they run over died, the students go about everyday life, only to discover that he did not perish at all. The story evolves into a blood-thirsty revenge tale a year later, with the stranger setting about picking off the students one by one.
Mike Flanagan, who delighted with the Karen Gillan led OCULUS earlier this year, has been tasked with putting a 2015/16 spin on the source material for producer Neal Moritz.
So, we’re you a fan of the original movies? What do you think of the plans for yet another reboot?
