Back in 1997, I was among the sole survivors of the chilling Southport Massacre, an event that still lingers in my memory. Now, nearly three decades have passed, and it seems like fate has brought me back to revisit this haunting past in the upcoming legacy sequel.
The upcoming movie titled “I Know What You Did Last Summer” will be directed by Jennifer Kaytin Robinson with a revamped plot. Unlike the original, which focused on four friends haunted by their past mistakes a year later, this new sequel revolves around five friends grappling with the aftermath of a fatal car accident. Prior to its release this summer, Sony Pictures has released the initial trailer, showcasing the fresh cast and appearances by Hewitt and Prinze Jr., reprising their legacy roles.
In the original movie from 1997, Hewitt portrayed Julie James and Prinze Jr. played Ray Robson. The film also starred Sarah Michelle Gellar, who is honored in the trailer, as well as Ryan Phillipe. However, only Julie and Ray made it through the slasher. They reappeared in the 1998 sequel titled “I Still Know What You Did Last Summer“, but they did not feature in the 2006 follow-up.
In the continuation of the original story, the tagline goes: “Five individuals unwittingly trigger a fatal car crash, choosing instead to hide their guilt rather than suffer the repercussions. A year passes, but their dark secret resurfaces, forcing them to grapple with a chilling reality: someone is aware of their summertime misdeed and has vengeance on their mind. As one by one they’re pursued by a murderer, they uncover that similar events have occurred before, prompting them to seek advice from the sole survivors of the infamous Southport Massacre of 1997.
The trailer suggests that viewers might find relaxation in baths unsettling following an initial grisly murder scene. Although the murderer employs the same lethal technique using a hook, they also introduce novel weapons and intriguing tactics to ensnare victims. The trailer hints at a bloody spectacle to come.
According to director Robinson’s statements, the upcoming slasher movie isn’t intended to be taken too seriously. Instead, it’s shaping up to be a lighthearted, exciting summer blockbuster event. However, don’t let that fool you – the horror elements have been significantly intensified in this production, making it much more gruesome than before.
She clarifies, “Every kill in this film has a specific strategy, which was missing in the initial one where it seemed like he was merely tracking and attacking his victims. The difference is that there’s less brutality and bloodshed in the first movie, but there’s definitely more of it here.
