The Fisherman is back in I Know What You Did Last Summer, and his hook is sharper than ever. Just ask star Madelyn Cline (Glass Onion, “Stranger Things”), whose character Danica becomes ruthlessly targeted by the killer.
Danica bears obvious parallels to the original slasher’s Helen Shivers (Sarah Michelle Gellar), including an ill-fated Fourth of July road accident that puts her and her four friends in the Fisherman’s crosshairs. That also extends to the character’s survival instincts, especially when it comes to the franchise’s beloved staple: chase sequences.
That the Fisherman is more vicious than ever meant a physically demanding role thanks to multiple chase scenes and harrowing encounters. It’s probably worth noting, then, that I Know What You Did Last Summer marks Cline’s first slasher role. It was a challenge that Cline was excited to tackle, picking up a few slasher tricks along the way.
“First of all, chase sequences are awesome,” Cline tells Bloody Disgusting. “I got so excited that I got a good couple in there. Tricks-wise, chase sequences are very physical. Everything is heightened. You think about it; I guess in terms of adrenaline, it’s a lot of physical triggers. Breathing is a big one, and psyching yourself out physically to help with the translation of it, in a way.
