What’s Going On With the ‘I Know What You Did Last Summer’ Remake?
With ’90s slasher I Know What You Did Last Summer turning 20 years old this coming October (how crazy is that?!), we can’t help but wonder what’s going on with the remake/re-adaptation of Lois Duncan’s novel that we first heard about a few years ago.
We learned back in 2014 that Oculus and Ouija: Origin of Evil duo Mike Flanagan and Jeff Howard were writing the script, but all has been quiet on that front for a while now.
So we reached out to Flanagan for an update today. We don’t have much to share, but we can at least note that Flanagan and Howard are incredibly happy with their script.
“I don’t have any updates on [I Know What You Did Last Summer]. I haven’t heard anything in quite a while,” Flanagan told us. “Our involvement ended at the script stage, which we delivered and were happy with, but I’m not sure what’s happening now.”
Flangan continued, “I was never attached to direct – Jeff and I were only responsible for the script. It’s a great property and it is in terrific hands with [producer] Neal Moritz, so I really hope it gets made.“
Last we heard, Flanagan and Howard had come up with a new take on all of the source materials, penning a tale quite a bit different than the one found in the 1997 film that took place after a nasty accident, four friends begin to drift apart. One year later Julie James gets an anonymous message and then a slicker wearing, hook-wielding killer begins to rip apart her life.
We’ll update you as we learn more.
Daniel Roebuck has been cast as Santa Claus in Terrifier 3, Bloody Disgusting can exclusively report.
Writer-director Damien Leone is currently wrapping production on the highly-anticipated sequel, in which Art the Clown unleashes chaos on the unsuspecting residents of Miles County as they peacefully drift off to sleep on Christmas Eve.
“I’ve been holding this secret for a long time!” Roebuck tells Bloody Disgusting. “I’ve been really excited about it. I’m actually entering into the movies that I watch. It’s extraordinary. This is Terrifier bigger, badder, best.”
Roebuck appears in Terrifier 3 alongside returning cast members David Howard Thornton, Lauren LaVera, Samantha Scaffidi, Elliot Fullam, and AEW superstar Chris Jericho.
No stranger to iconic horror properties, Roebuck has squared off against Michael Myers in Rob Zombie’s Halloween II, played The Count in Zombie’s The Munsters, succumbed to The Tall Man’s sphere in Phantasm: Ravager, and investigated death in Final Destination.
A distinguished character actor with over 250 credits, Roebuck has also appeared in The Devil’s Rejects, 3 from Hell, Bubba Ho-Tep, John Dies at the End, The Fugitive, Lost, Agent Cody Banks, and The Man in the High Castle. Incidentally, he’s also playing Santa in the family drama Saint Nick of Bethlehem, due out later this year.
Terrifier 3 will be released in theaters nationwide later this year via Cineverse and Bloody Disgusting in conjunction with our partner on Terrifier 2, Iconic Events Releasing.
