‘I Know What You Did Last Summer’: Freddie Prinze Jr. Loves Watching Pretty People Get Killed in Horror Movies [Featurette]

The ’90s slasher franchise I Know What You Did Last Summer returns to theaters in less than one month with a brand new movie, and it marks the return of original legacy characters Julie James and Ray Bronson. They’re pulled back into a past nightmare by a new group of fresh faces, and the cast previews what’s coming in a sneak peek featurette you’ll find below.

“It feels like a new movie but an homage at the same time,” Jennifer Love Hewitt teases. Freddie Prinze Jr. bluntly notes, “I love watching pretty people get killed in horror movies.”

Madelyn Cline (“Outer Banks”), Chase Sui Wonders (Bodies Bodies Bodies), Jonah Hauer-King (The Little Mermaid), Tyriq Withers (Him), and Sarah Pidgeon (“The Wilds”) star alongside Jennifer Love Hewitt and Freddie Prinze Jr., who reprise their roles from the 1997 slasher. The legacy sequel sinks its hook into theaters on July 18 from Sony.

In the new movie, “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.”

Jennifer Kaytin Robinson (Do Revenge) directs from a script she co-wrote with Sam Lansky, based on a story by Robinson and Leah McKendrick (M.F.A.).

Musician/model Gabbriette Bechtel, Billy Campbell (The Rocketeer), Austin Nichols (“The Walking Dead”), Lola Tung (“The Summer I Turned Pretty”), and Nicholas Alexander Chavez (“Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story”) round out the cast.
