Sony Pictures has tapped the director of Oculus to helm a reboot of I Know What You Did Last Summer.
Quite possibly the definition of a long summer, the titular bad mojo season for a group of North Carolinian teens keeps coming back to haunt them, no matter how many movies attempts to leave the past sleeping with the fishes. Yes, they are remaking I Know What You Did Last Summer, but the word “reboot” sounds so much more inviting, doesn’t it?
As reported in Variety, Sony Pictures Entertainment has hired Mike Flanagan, director of Oculus, to helm a new version of I Know What You Did Last Summer.
The original I Know What You Did Last Summer was directed by Jim Gillepsie from a screenplay by the Scream trilogy mastermind, Kevin Williamson. Based on a novel by Lois Duncan, it reinvented the story of a group of kids who stupidly pissed off the wrong fisherman, when crashing him over and tossing him into the Atlantic drink, by including a cast of past and future WB (CW for youngins’) hopefuls like Jennifer Love Hewitt, Freddie Prinze Jr., and Sarah Michelle Gellar waiting to be skewered.
Maybe the remake can update it for the post-2010 sensibility? Of course, he knows what you did last summer, you posted it on Instagram!
