Actor Chase Sui Wonders, known for her role as Emma in Bodies Bodies Bodies, is in talks to star in I Know What You Did Last Summer reboot from Sony.
If finalised, she will join the previously announced cast members Camila Mendes, Madelyn Cline, Sarah Pidgeon, Tyriq Withers, and Jonah Hauer-King. Jennifer Love Hewitt and Freddie Prinze Jr. are also in talks to reprise their roles from the first film.
Wonders has also starred in the HBO series Generation, On The Rocks, directed by Sofia Coppola, and the AppleTV Plus series City on Fire, created by Josh Schwartz and Stephanie Savage.
Directed by Jennifer Kaytin Robinson of Netflix's Someone Great (2019) and Do Revenge (2022) fame, the reboot of the slasher flick is scheduled to be released in theatres on July 18, 2025.
Jennifer Kaytin Robinson co-wrote the screenplay along with Sam Lansky after an initial script from Leah McKendrick. Neal Moritz, one of the producers of the original, is also producing the reboot.
The new movie will be the fourth film entry in the I Know What You Did Last Summer franchise. The original film, directed by Jim Gillespie, was released in October 1997. It was penned by Scream screenwriter Kevin Williamson and based on the 1973 novel of the same name from author Lois Duncan. The original film was followed by the 1998 sequel I Still Know What You Did Last Summer and 2006’s I’ll Always Know What You Did Last Summer. In 2021, the franchise was reimagined as a television series that debuted on Prime Video.
I Know What You Did Last Summer will be clashing with Naked Gun reboot at the box office. The latter is directed by Akiva Schaffer that features Liam Neeson as bumbling detective Frank Drebin.
