Director Confirms Hewitt & Prinze Shot Scenes Together in Reboot

UPDATE: Director Jennifer Kaytin Robinson has confirmed that Jennifer Love Hewitt and Freddie Prinze Jr. filmed their scenes together in the latest reboot of I Know What You Did Last Summer. This revelation comes after fans speculated about their on-screen chemistry amidst reports of editing concerns.

The film, released over the weekend by Sony, debuted in third place at the domestic box office, earning $12.7 million. The reboot, which features a new cast including Madelyn Cline and Chase Sui Wonders, aims to revive the iconic slasher franchise that first terrified audiences in 1997.

The speculation began on social media when a post questioned whether Hewitt and Prinze, who are reprising their roles from the original and its sequel, had actually filmed their scenes together. “People are starting to notice the ‘cuts and separate shots’,” the post noted.

Responding to the growing chatter, Robinson swiftly addressed the concerns, stating, “They absolutely shot their scenes together. Hope this helps,” accompanied by a heart emoji.

When the original poster expressed embarrassment over the speculation, Robinson reassured them, saying, “No apology necessary! I totally get why people might think that because of some of the coverage, but they are absolutely acting off each other. It was electric!”

The storyline follows five friends who face dire consequences after keeping silent about a tragic car accident, emphasizing themes of friendship and betrayal. In his review for The Hollywood Reporter, critic Frank Scheck praised both Hewitt and Prinze for their performances, highlighting that they “provide connective tissue to the original film and its sequel.”

As the film continues to gain traction at the box office, audiences are eager to see how the legacy of I Know What You Did Last Summer is reimagined for a new generation. Stay tuned for more updates as the film’s performance unfolds and fan reactions continue to pour in.
