‘I Know What You Did Last Summer’… and It Was a Remake

By MrDisgusting on September 15, 2014@bradmiska

If the horror of the 90′s weren’t bad enough, Sony Pictures is bringing it back with a remake of the 1997 I Know What You Did Last Summer (this is where I show an emoticon of myself blowing my brains out).

Deadline writes that Sony is officially out of ideas as they’re rebooting the horror flick that ended up grossing $125M worldwide and spawned a sequel the following year. Both starred Jennifer Love Hewitt and Sarah Michelle Gellar, and was about friends being stalked by a killer after conspiring to cover up a fatal car accident.

I can see this working only if they really hone in on the supernatural aspect of it (think “Tales From the Crypt”), instead of letting the audience think it’s a normal human hellbent on revenge. I really don’t need to see remakes of Scream and Urban Legends in the pipeline. If anything, this feels incredibly meta, like a big joke on us horror fans. *Insert major eye roll here*

This one is being written and produced by Oculus co-writer/director Mike Flanagan adapting the 1973 Lois Duncan book again and producing along with Neal Moritz who produced the original.

Sources say that this picture is a high priority for Sony as they want to get it up and ready for 2016.

weird. The Onion’s layout today looks suspiciously like bloody disgusting..

Def do it. If they follow the book it would be more suspenseful but nobody really died in that story. The original was great and honestly with a few good actors similar to Hewitt, Gellar and Philippe they can make it work. Unless they fuck shit up like When a stranger calls or Carrie.

  I actually thought Carrie was alright. Definitely the epitome of mediocre but it wasn’t terrible. But When a Stranger Calls….yeesh. What a turd.

    the PROM NIGHT & THE FOG remakes remain 2 of the most insultingly bad remakes ever IMO. lol.

      Forgot about The Fog. That remake is utter shit. The original isn’t a masterpiece but it’s a damn good ghost story that deserved a much better remake than that atrocity.
    - http://www.wineandwatch.com/ Wine and Watch
      
      Totally agree with you on that one. I remember seeing The Fog in theaters. I can’t even begin to describe how much I hated it. Nothing worse than a boring horror movie.
- http://moviepilot.com/desolateearth K. Lee Adams
  
  Don’t forget Prom Night. It’s horrid. And When A Stranger Calls was indeed fucking awful.
drmodem

I imagine this is a reimagining of the source material rather than a remake of the 1997 movie? Wait… is that the same thing? Either way they should probably come up with a new name for it. Or the modern equivalent to Campfire Tales (also 1997) could be fun..?
Bruce Hannan

Loved all these late 90s, early 2000s horrors, I know what you did Last Summer, Scream 1 & 2, Cherry Falls, Urban Legend, The Faculty etc I think they are awesome as they are and dont need re-made
- J Jett
  
  Bruce, same here! i like/love all the movies you mention!
- http://moviepilot.com/desolateearth K. Lee Adams
  
  I really love Scream and Scream 2, The Faculty and Cherry Falls. Urban Legend is alright but it’s quite an offender when it comes to extremely convenient circumstances to make the story work. One side of me wouldn’t mind a remake of Cherry Falls because a lot of the violence and sexuality was cut from the original film but at the same time I get sad when I watch it because of Brittany Murphy’s tragic death and feel like it should be left alone (the same way I feel about The Crow). And Scream should never ever be remade. They can do their little MTV show based around it but I never want to see a remake of it.

Ohmigodohmigodohmigodohmigodohmigod this is the movie remake I have been WAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIting for since they remade the first movie remake. I am simply too excited to even sit still right now so I will go outside and run around in a circle and then maybe spin and spin and spin and spin until I throw up because this is the awesomest news that I have heard ALL DAY!

Wait… no… wait… Nope, sorry… I got this confused with them remaking “Hackers”.

IKWYDLS remake? The fact that someone thought of this in the first place sucks. Someone decided it was a good idea sucks more. Sony green-lighting it is suckness an order of magnitude greater than the largest known black hole.

I would rather watch “Melancholia” again.
diapers

I don’t see the point, but if they feel utterly compelled to go ahead, a total reimagining with lots of gore would work! I have a feeling the choice will be made to go PG-13.
- http://moviepilot.com/desolateearth K. Lee Adams
  
  Oh God, I didn’t even think about that. I seriously hope not. I don’t hate PG-13 horror but I do hate when they remake an R-Rated film as a PG-13 film.

We should instead talk about this song and video. Remember when Mtv played music and they had a show named 12 Angry Viewers where they reviewed the latest videos every week? I recall this one getting a perfect score:

  Oh yeah! Still love this song.
Midaroco

Gellar wasn’t in the sequel.
Grimphantom

Yeah agree that this time should be on the supernatural but also hope the story is better……didn’t like the 1st and the sequel tho Jack Black and Jeffrey Combs where the only ones worth watching that crap.
HoneyTree EvilEye

Wasn’t I’ll Always Know a supernatural film? It sucked balls, that’s the only thing I’m positive about. The first one is pleasant for sentimental reasons, if I ever wanna be taken back to high school and I’m tired of watching Varsity Blues or something. The sequel was tolerable, not saying it was good, just tolerable. Nothing at all that needs to be remade and if you go by the book nobody dies.
Khy

The first movie was great and the sequel was a lot of fun. I think both movies get a lot of unwarranted flack. I’m a bit torn on this. On one hand if it is very close to the actual novel that could be refreshing but I’d also miss that big shiny hook. Need more details.

See, bad movies get remade too.
Bouncy X

they tried the supernatural angle with the 3rd movie, turning him into a zombie and it was very very terrible.
Bobby Jones

if it doesn’t have Jennifer Love Hewitt’s breasts, then no thank you
J Jett

i very much like the original Hewitt/Gellar film. it has one of the best, if not THE best chase scenes i’ve ever seen. Helen’s chase scene is even to this day perfection. even the way it ends…it’s brutal and so tragic because SHE WAS SO CLOSE to making it to safety!! very good movie.

i didn’t realize the book was a supernatural themed book. if they change enough (from the original movie and make it more(?) supernatural-ish) and kind of make the movie their own then i’d possibly be up for this new film.
- wehoaks
  
  The book has zero supernatural elements.
  - http://moviepilot.com/desolateearth K. Lee Adams
    
    There weren’t even any deaths in the book, were there? Other than the kid they ran over. I might be remembering it wrong but I’m fairly certain what I said to J Jett above is how it went down in the book. And I do definitely remember there was nothing supernatural about it at all. Just a flesh and blood human stalker who didn’t wear any kind of costume.
    - J Jett
      
      thanx for the clarification guys!
      - http://moviepilot.com/desolateearth K. Lee Adams
        
        You’re welcome, bud!
  - http://moviepilot.com/desolateearth K. Lee Adams
    
    Nevermind. Others here in the comments have confirmed what I though. There were no kills in the book.
- http://moviepilot.com/desolateearth K. Lee Adams
  
  The book is so different. It’s not supernatural at all and there’s no killer in a slicker with a hook running around offing people. If I remember correctly the 4 teens (whose names all come from the book) run over a kid on a bike and just drive off. Then naturally they start getting stalked but if memory serves none of them get killed in the book and the identity of the stalker (which I won’t reveal in case you want to read it, plus I don’t remember who exactly who it was) is someone related to the kid. The book was more of a thriller/stalker story but they turned it into a slasher for the film. Which I’m not complaining about (i love slashers) but the movie is indeed very different from the book.
http://www.wineandwatch.com/ Wine and Watch

I read the book when I was in middle school and was surprised with how much they changed in the movie. I actually love the first one (especially that EPIC chase scene and that awesome trailer I used to watch on the VHS for Anaconda on repeat when I was little) and think the second one is….pretty bad. I’m not one who is typically against remakes but I just don’t really want to see this because I love that first one so much. That being said, if they are doing it as a straight adaptation of the novel I could see it working somewhat. Time will tell I suppose….
zigwardScissorHands

I personally think I Know What you did Last Summer sucks. I liked it as a kid but watching it fairly recently it didn’t hold up at all. My initial reaction was, “this is a terrible idea” but given my low opinion of the original there’s nowhere to go but up!
magnus dissmoll

Haha! Oh man.. I gotta see this.
LuJr81

Good God. When they start remaking movies from the 90s. It really makes me feel old lmao. Remember when this first came out, I liked it. The sequel not so much but hey, I’m not surprised that they’re remaking this already. Thats Hollywood’s cash grab tactic they love using. Im just glad I grew up in an era where most of the films that came out were original and new ideas, or at least sequels to them lol. BTW I’m only 26 but still lol
- http://moviepilot.com/desolateearth K. Lee Adams
  
  I hear ya. I’m 25. I have to say this idea doesn’t bother me because I don’t love IKWYDLS. It’s a decent film but I definitely think there’s room for improvement. I think I may just be spoiled by Scream, which is my favorite 90′s slasher (and one of my favorite movies ever) so I feel like everything after it pales in comparison.
  - LuJr81
    
    Yeah man totally agree with you Lee. Scream is also one of my all time favorites and I think its Craven’s best besides ANOES. Just wish he would have treated the sequels with a little more care lol. Especially 3
    - http://moviepilot.com/desolateearth K. Lee Adams
      
      Haha! Scream 3 is ridiculous. I agree that the original is Craven’s best alongside the original Nightmare. I love Scream 2 and enjoy Scream 4 for what it is but 3 is definitely the black sheep of the franchise. I can’t even watch it unless it’s with someone who hasn’t seen the Scream films and then we watch all 4 but otherwise I avoid that one.
REC03

this is crazy they are remaking movies i saw in the theater in high school. i think it would be interesting to follow the teens kill a kid plot of the book but still have slasher elements. i love the original but the ending is pretty weak so they can definitely improve on that.
- http://moviepilot.com/desolateearth K. Lee Adams
  
  I agree about the ending. They pull that Friday the 13th shit where we’re the killer ends up being someone we haven’t even seen the entire movie. Granted we saw the fisherman early on but he was covered in blood and unrecognizable and then we never saw him again until the end. Same with Mrs. Voorhees. I think it’s a cheat (even though I like Mrs. Voorhees).

what is that image from?
- Toni White
  
  It looks like the killer from the THIRD summer movie “I’ll Always Know What You Did Last Summer” but i’m not sure, i only saw that movie once.

Love the original, but the best part about this movie was the 90s young Hollywood cast. Who would they get for the remake?
Victor

Why are so many people complaining about this? Like your gonna end up watching it anyways so stop fucking complaining and be appreciative whether its bad or good it doesn’t take away from the original that we’ve seen already. I saw the first one when I was 6 and I personally love it, its a teen slasher so get over it you act as if its suppose to be a damm prize possession. It’s definitely one of my favorites 90′s slasher and IM SO READY TO SEE ANOTHER ONE FOR THIS GENERATION! I SAY BRING IT ON SONY AND TWIST THIS ONE UP A BIT! I’ll be at the theaters with my popcorn in hand watching this. People complain so damm much SHUT UP AND APPRECIATE THAT WHERE GETTING ANOTHER HORROR FILM! Say what you want these films were a fun watch and im ready for another!!!!!
HorrorFan__180

Yes!! OMG Yes!! I’ve been thinking about a reboot for this for a couple years now, I for one am SUPER pumped for this, but an absolute NO to ANY supernatural aspects. The fisherman is HUMAN. Yay for 90′s horror slowly making its way back!
- Khy
  
  Agreed. I still need some more details before I truly get excited, but I’d love if they kept it simple. I also hope they keep the fisherman and the hook. *crosses fingers*.
- Victor
  
  YES I AGREE!!!!
anthonyd1

I grew up in the 90s and love most of the 90s slasher films. I Know What You Did Last Summer and I Still Know What You Did Last Summer will always have a special spot with me. I fucking love Sarah Michelle Gellar and her chase scene from the original still gives me chills and makes me yell at the screen every time I watch it. I really do not think they need to be remaking this franchise so soon (It has not even been 20 years). I do not think they will find a cast to match the original, especially Sarah Michelle Gellar, she was the scream queen of the late 90s and early 2000s. I love these two films and this remake gets me upset but I heard that the original flick and the book are completely different so lets just hope they follow the book and not try to imitate the 1997 flick.
- Adam Clifton
  
  they shouldn’t remake this movie, period. It’s way too soon. And the book is different to the movie. From what I heard, no character was murdered in the book. That won’t make for a good horror movie, that’s why they spiced it up a little for the 1997 film
  - Diego
    
    It’s not supposed to be a horror movie. It’s supposed to be a thriller. They didn’t “spice it up” they reduced it to slasher film.
    
    If they plan on making this a proper adaptation of the book, then it sounds promising.
- Victor
  
  I dont think there gonna copy or imitate the original I think there gonna have a similar story but I know it will be completely different!
macguffin54

I don’t know that everybody has as big of a problem with this movie as this site does. I have no problem with them remaking this. It was a decent movie, but not an untouchable classic. Cheesy fun, w/Buffy, Ryan Phillippe and his pouty lips. Nothing cerebral but a good Scooby-Doo mystery. Besides, the movie stole the premise from “I Saw What You Did”, and if ever a movie could do with a new (third, or fourth if you count “Summer”) version this is it. Maybe they can infuse some of the classy noir suspense of the true source materials.
- Victor
  
  Exactly considering these films are from my generation from the 90′s IM READY FOR A REMAKE!!!!!
BloodyDe1ty

I have never watched the original or its sequels so this gives me a reason to. Also I have never read the book. This gives me two new movies to watch (skipping “Always”) and a novel to read. I know its not gonna be a straight “slasher” remake since Mike Flanagan is at the helm so i’m optimistic for a really good book interpretation possibly.
Jer

Geez, just report the news. This isn’t an oped for christ’s sake. But if you’re going to complain, then at least report the facts correctly. Sarah Michelle Gellar was NOT in both films. She was only in the first.

I have no problem with this getting remade. On the topic of Urban Legend, I would actually love if it got a remake too. Maybe they could make a solid franchise this time around instead of going the stupid “movie in a movie” direction. The 3rd was better, but it still missed the mark. Going back to I Know What You Did Last Summer, I think they could really make a solid movie. We shall see what happens.

fucking ridiculous….wayyyyy too early for a movie that doesn’t even warrant a remake

Ashton Simpson

if it’s being written by the same mastermind who gave us the mind-fuck that is Oculus, and is a RE-ADAPTATION of the original book, then i’ll look at this with a much more open mind
cuz in the original book, the teens ran over a ten-year-old boy on a bike and it was the kid’s brother avenging his baby bro’s death, and was based purely on stalker-suspense, and not by the hand’s of Captain Hook in a rain coat

  I didn’t actually know it was based on a book.
  Is it a decent read?
  - Ashton Simpson
    
    yeah, way back in like the 60s or 70s
    i never actually read it, just the synopsis on Wiki
    but the story’s great, and it was written by the same author of “killing Mr. Griffin” which had a somewhat similar story, so i’m sure it is

    The book is great! I’m really hoping the remake goes in its direction.

I was wandering when Sony will run out of ideas and will start a reboot to this.
Adam Clifton

You want to see a supernatural version of it, watch I’ll Always Know What You Did Last Summer. That movie killed the series, they should have kept it based in reality. A sequel continuing from Part 2 would be better than a stupid remake
Dave Be

How about a prequel? I Have Sufficient Evidence To Suggest Your Activities During The Upcoming Summer Season.
Darnell

Sarah Michelle Gellar was not in I Still Know What You Did Last Summer. She died in the first film might want to correct that in your article.

Also these movies don’t need to be remade. They were crappy 90s horror films that have not held up well. The first one is still entertaining some what but the sequel really did not hold up well over time.
- Khy
  
  “Also these movies don’t need to be remade. They were crappy 90s horror films that have not held up well”
  ….Um then what movies DO need to be remade if it aren’t movies that don’t hold up well throughout the years? lol
tyler

In other words, they are rebooting a great movie too soon, with a horrible writer/director (Occulus proves that), and will MOST likely cast unknown and much uglier actors. This one will end up making the straight to DVD, part 3 look amazing.
- James
  
  Wait I know what you did last summer is great but oculus is bad? Are you sure you have that? I know what you did was fun and I enjoyed it, but oculus and Absentia easily surpass it.
  - tyler
    
    “Hated” isn’t a strong enough word for “Occulus” to me. I was bored to death. The lead actress annoyed me so bad that she literally gave me a headache. As much as I despise Paranormal Activity films – I’d rather watch every single one of them back to back before having to sit through Occulus again. It’s good that you enjoyed it though!

    I will LOL you into oblivion. If I ever run into Mike Flanagan in person, I’m mugging him.

I too wouldn’t mind to see this franchise return but I rather they either continue on somehow or do more of a re-imagining rather than a remake. This type of film only works when it has a great story, is suspenseful and with an awesome reveal that the audience just can’t see coming. With a remake more than likely we’ll see an alternate version of the story that we all already know the ending to.
- Khy
  
  I doubt it’ll be an actual remake. The writer on twitter referred to it as a “reboot” so it’ll most likely be a new set of characters, scenario ect only keeping the title. Like most “remakes” these days.
  - https://soundcloud.com/tomgraczkowski TDimension Studios
    
    Perhaps, but take the new Carrie for example that was basically a rehash of the original. I just hope they won’t do that with the new IKWDLS.
Johnny Prothero

Well after the third one. Which was just awful, all they can do is a remake. The third one, all of the main stars didn’t return for it.
Peter Johnson

Since it’s Mike Flanagan, I actually have some hopes for it. Absentia and Oculus were some of the better horror movies to come out in recent years (not just with style and scares, but with substance as well; Absentia is deeeeeeep), so I can’t help but think that he will work some of his magic to make this pretty interesting
http://moviepilot.com/desolateearth K. Lee Adams

Man, a lot of people on various sites hating this idea. Which is fine. I believe everyone has a right to their opinion and the right to voice that opinion but I’m just not clear on where some of this is coming from. Is I Know What You Did Last Summer suddenly considered a classic, along with the likes of Halloween or Nightmare On Elm Street (genuine classics considered sacred that both received horrible remakes, no offense to fans of them)? I’ve never heard of many people being so into this movie until now. This isn’t meant to be douchey, it’s just genuine curiosity.
- Bruce Hannan
  
  I think your right that it is one of these movies that doesn’t get talked about anymore, maybe it’s just not considered cool.. It’s never going to be in a top horror movie list for Empire, uncut, Rolling Stone or what ever other hip magazines there are out there… I wouldn’t consider it a classic myself but is a movie I really like and would be in my top 20 horror list ahead of frequent mentioned movies such as Suspira, The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, Cabin In The woods , Black Christmas, Audition etc. Don’t get me wrong I do like these movies but seems to be a kind snobbery against movies like I know what you did last summer and I think it’s great that talk of a re-make has given fans of the original to have an opportunity to speak about it, an opportunity that doesn’t come up that often because for whatever reason it just doesn’t seem cool. Also just wanted to say I also love Eight Legged Freaks… Has nothing to do with anything but feel it never got the praise and coverage it deserved.
  - http://moviepilot.com/desolateearth K. Lee Adams
    
    Very well said and thank you for your reply. I appreciate the clarification. And I agree with what you said about snobbery. It’s all over horror fandom and I think it’s ridiculous and sad that people use movies to separate themselves from one another. We’re all horror fans at the end of the day, regardless of whether we love or hate all the same movies so enough of the fighting. Celebrate horror with other people who love it. I may be overly optimistic but I don’t think it’s impossible to get along with someone despite having a different opinion. I do it all the time so I can’t understand why it’s so difficult for some people. I understand that there are big fans of IKWYDLS out there who will be vocal about this new version and I respect that. I don’t love the movie (I don’t hate it, either, I think it’s fine) so a remake of it for me seems like a possible opportunity to elevate the material. Only time will tell if it turns out good but I enjoyed Oculus quite a bit so I have some faith in Mike Flanagan. I will say this shouldn’t be supernatural. I’d rather it stay a whodunit with a human killer (and not go the route of the original movie and have the killer be someone we haven’t even seen the whole movie, it makes guessing the killer’s identity impossible and I feel like it’s a cheat). Keep the hook and the slicker (or a new costume) and really play up the mystery angle, like Scream did so well and have a great reveal. Again, thank you for answering my question and helping me better understand where the varying stances on this remake are coming from. And I haven’t seen Eight Legged Freaks. One of my biggest fears is spiders so I have a hard time watching movies about them!
    - Victor
      
      I personally think its a classic from 90′s horror slasher! It was one of the original teen slasher from the 90′s along with Scream. To me this film is a classic to myself considering I was 6 years old when I first saw it at the theaters with my mom ( I’m 23 now ). I’ve always enjoyed this film for what it was and was actually disappointed that It did not get the proper 3rd film (trilogy) it deserved. So a remake to me wouldn’t be so bad considering its to late to make a 4th sequel. The cast from the original can’t be replaced, since sony wants to release this by 2016 it would actually be 19 years since the original so I think the time slot is perfect as well as re-inventing the film for this ages generation. So I don’t see why people hate on this fact so much, honestly I’m interested in seeing a fresh take on this considering I’m a fan of the original and sequel. Being a huge fan of slasher I wouldn’t mind seeing the Fisherman in his black fishing gear slashing off teenagers one by one with his hook on the big screen again.
      - http://moviepilot.com/desolateearth K. Lee Adams
        
        Slashers are my favorite sub-genre of horror. That and the fact that I don’t love the original IKWYDLS (I don’t hate it, though, it’s decent enough) makes me kind of interested in seeing a new version of it.
      - Victor
        
        Exactly so why not right? It doesn’t hurt anybody I just hate the fact people are so close minded to just shut these idea out.
      - http://moviepilot.com/desolateearth K. Lee Adams
        
        I agree. I love Halloween and A Nightmare On Elm Street and I hate the remakes of both of them but they don’t affect my love of the originals at all. I’m no longer bothered by remakes because sometimes they turn out great and if they turn out bad the superior original film is always there for me to watch. Take The Crow, for instance. It’s my favorite non-horror movie of all time and they’re still trying to remake it. At one point I was beyond irritated by it but then I let it go when I realized it didn’t matter. I already have the best Crow movie (and Brandon Lee is Eric Draven, no one else is gonna change that for me) so they can go off and remake it if they want. It doesn’t bother me anymore. I’ll be at home watching the original. As for the I Know reboot, I’m actually really curious to see what they’re going to do with it and I’m always up for a slasher movie so fingers crossed.
      - Victor
        
        I agree!!! 100% i’m very interested to see how this one will turn out to be…. The original will always hold a special place in my heart so I say bring on this reboot and lets see what they can cook up!!

      I try to be but the negativity towards people’s hard work – whether or not it’s good or bad – is obnoxious at this point.

        I hear ya! It’s a struggle to stay positive online (the net is the home of the trolls, after all). There’s nothing wrong with giving your honest opinion on something (I encourage it) and if people get mad that’s their problem but it’s a completely different thing to endlessly trash something or shit on others who have a different opinion. I respect a troll’s right to be an asshole but it doesn’t mean I have to like it or acknowledge it. As hard as it may be you just have to ignore it. I’ve seen comments on this site and others that genuinely irked me because it was unjustifiably hateful but I politely post my thoughts and move on. I’ve certainly been sarcastic on the net but never hateful to something or someone without a damn good reason for it.

Fuck it, add some 21st century gore and it could actually be fun this time around.

Part 1 and 2 hold memories for me and i enjoy them but they are really stupid movies. The second one being really dumb. I honestly can put my memories aside and say they shouldn’t remake this movie and just let it die but maybe it will prove me wrong. It works as a 90s movie with 90s tv stars… who is a star now that can act in this remake (given i do not watch tv anymore like i did during the 90s) ? They would have to completely change the film in that case WHY NOT JUST MAKE A NEW “ORIGINAL” SLASHER! The killer in that movie is fucking laughable now. No one sees the guy with a hook and slicker on during 4th of July? what a joke. just saying.

i’ve never seen part 3… thats a picture of the killer? why is his slicker so neat and clean if he is a zombie?

The original film wasn’t that original so why not remake it? Sure, it’s silly, but there are a new generation of movie goers that never saw the original. What will make me laugh is if a studio remakes The Exorcist.

JLH was so hot in this.

“Both starred Jennifer Love Hewitt and Sarah Michelle Gellar”
Uhm… Sarah Michelle Gellar is not in the sequel man.

  unless you count a picture of her in one scene. But that’s quibbling.

I think you guys are kinda mean with 90s slasher… Sure, they are not the smartest movies, but I think the american horror genre would be quite different without Scream or I Know What You Did Last Summer. I mean, it was dead back then !!
Am I totally wrong?
- Khy
  
  You’re RIGHT. I don’t get the hate for late 90s/early 00s slashers like Scream, I Know, Urban Legend, Valentine ect. They all still hold up and are great movies.
  - Maxime C
    
    Must be a generation thing.
  - wehoaks
    
    To me it is less about them actually hating it and more about hopping on the bandwagon of it being hip to hate something so successful after it’s initial success passes. Brads full of shit.

      That’s so true. The Nolan Batman trilogy only ended two years ago and suddenly it’s fashionable for people to hate on it. I’m sure some genuinely never liked it but I think a lot of them are the kind of people you’re describing.

    They still hold up compared to what? Other crappy slasher films? The only one out of the bunch listed that was decent was the first scream, and that was only for the novelty of it!

        I agree I love the 90′s slasher genre Valentine, Urban Legend, IKWYDLS, Scream there all such a fun watch and have extremely good elements and chase scene’s Im so ready to see that element brought back to the big screen its been too long!

  only scream did that job.. i know what you did and stuff are like copys of scream.. dont get me wrong,they are not bad because of that fact.

I would love this but definitely NO supernatural. That’s a terrible idea. The original is an awesome movie. Slow building through out the middle then the chase scenes are fantastic! Last Summer is one of my favorite movies and if they remake it, I really hope the incorporate some of the best elements of the original like the Helen chase scene, the awesome look of the town it was filmed in, and it ending on a boat. But there are some elements they could do without like the corny dialogue at the end and the dream sequence “last scare” scene.

Ugh, same crap every year. Remake remake remake, sequel, prequel, trilogy. Come the f*ck on hollywood. This is exactly why i go for foreign films these days.
Adam Clifton

I’d rather a real part 3 instead of a remake. Make it different. Have it that Ben Willis’ innocent members of his family are being hunted and killed by a mysterious figure (not the Fisherman) and he is forced to turn to Julie James (JLH) for help. She is obviously reluctant to help him after everything that’s happened and clearly doesn’t trust him, but the new killer is targeting innocent people and may be coming after her as well. Who is the killer and why would he want vengeance on Ben Willis? It’d be a different type of sequel and maybe different enough to bring JLH and Muse Watson back
- Full Frontal Squashing
  
  How about we shelve the whole idea and move on to something else!

finally got to see oculus in its entirety this week and loved it. then I googled the director and found out about this remake… dammit

Rebooting I Know What You Did Last Summer???? Wow. I feel old, and I’m only 27. lol.

I still enjoy the first two films (there’s nothing wrong with Still, IMO. Solid follow up to the first film & Jack Black is hilarious). As long as they ignore everything in the horrendous I’ll Always Know What You Did You Last Summer and the zombie Fisherman, I’ll take a “wait and see how everything plays out” approach to this one.

If someone tries to remake Event Horizon, I’m going to lose my mind…I know its a little off topic, but since we are dipping into the late 90s for material now, I’m nervous.
- Peter Johnson
  
  Event Horizon should be remade by someone better suited for horror than Paul W.S. Anderson
Javi Simon

Remaking late 90s horror just makes me feel old. But, an Urban Legends remake might not be a bad idea. Think of all the stupid online urban legends that have been crawling on the Web since the 90s ended.
Justin Demers

Damn, a remake? I loved I Know What You Did Last Summer and the sequel I Still Know What You Did Last Summer, those movies were awesome, one of the first “horror” flicks I watched as a kid. The 3rd film “I’ll Always Know What You Did Last Summer” was meh, not good and not horrible. I was always hoping for a real 3rd film that picks up where the 2nd one ended with Jennifer Love Hewitt & Freddie Prinze Jr., but looks like that won’t be happening. I’ll still watch it, pending the cast and the plot changes.
Trisha Tachanawa

Ugh I wish we could just bring back slasher films, not remake the ones already done.

I’m sorry, maybe it’s just me, maybe I’m the one who’s a little messed in the head but I reaaaaaaaaaaaally enjoyed the living hell out of the original I Know What You Did Last Summer. Like REALLY enjoyed it.
