I Know What You Did Last Summer was one of the first films to capitalize on a rejuvenated slasher movie craze shortly after the original Scream dropped at the end of 1996.
Releasing just one year later, the shocker helped make stars of Jennifer Love Hewitt, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Freddie Prinze Jr., and, to a lesser degree, Ryan Phillippe. It also featured memorable turns from Johnny Galecki and Anne Heche, while giving fans a cool new horror icon that subsequent releases failed to capitalize on.
But it?s a good time to check in on it to see how things are moving along, and here?s what the Inquisitr has managed to turn up from the files of IMDb.
Firstly, Mike Flanagan, the guy behind the film Oculus has been hired to write the script. No word on whether it will follow the 1997 film or Duncan?s 1973 young adult novel more closely.
Breck Eisner, the guy behind Sahara, The Crazies, and Vin Diesel?s upcoming The Last Witch Hunter is rumored to direct.
Josh Scott Bentley is the only confirmed star at this point, and he will be playing a character named Collin Finn.
For the lead role of Julie James (Hewitt in the ?97 version), producers are reportedly looking at Lucy Hale, Victoria Justice, or Selena Gomez.
