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.”

Freddie Prinze Jr. Was Hooked By The Fresh Take On His And Jennifer Love Hewitt’s Characters In ‘I Know What You Did Last Summer’
In a Zoom conversation about I Know What You Did Last Summer the day the film arrived in theaters in July, Freddie Prinze Jr. admitted that at first, he wasn’t keen on the idea of reprising Ray Bronson for the new film.
However, when director Jennifer Kaytin Robinson told him how Ray and Jennifer Love Hewitt’s Julie James dealt with the trauma from the horrific events 30 years prior in much different ways “and it either makes that individual or it breaks that individual.”
“I liked what Jennifer had to say, so she pitched me the movie, which was wild and has a ton of secrets and spoilers and things like that, and I honestly knew before even the script was written that I was attached to the movie,” Prinze recalled.
“Her vision was so clear on how to bring in this new generation, but still pay, not just homage, but respect to the original cast to have them be a major part of the new story,” he added. “We were not just appearing in cameos to help sell the movie, so I loved her idea.”
