Columbia Hooks Third "Summer"
Columbia Pictures confirmed Monday that it is making a third installment in the I Know What You Did Last Summer series.
However, according to studio sources, the new entry into the franchise--which was originally conceived by Scream writer Kevin Williamson and starred Teen People pinups like Jennifer Love Hewitt, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Freddie Prinze Jr., Ryan Phillippe and Brandy--will be drastically revamped.
Although I Know 3 will stick to the same premise as its predecessors--a group of teens caught in a moral predicament that leads to deadly results--it will feature an all-new cast.
Plot details are scarce, but Daily Variety says the movie will take on a Deliverance feel by introducing "totally different characters" who are being hunted by a tormentor "in the wilderness while on a sort of Outward Bound expedition."
And in an unusual move, the sequel will also undergo a change in tone. Given Scary Movie's success at parodying the Scream and I Know series, producers are reportedly considering removing the comedy and camp elements of the first two, and getting back to the traditional roots of the teen horror genre with more of a morality tale (see: Halloween, Friday the 13th and the Nightmare on Elm Street series).
Coming out after Williamson's similar-themed and enormously popular Scream, 1997's original I Know centered on a group of teens (Hewitt, Gellar, Prinze and Phillippe) who cover up a hit-and-run accident and, one year later, are killed off one by one by a hook-wielding killer who apparently knows their secret. The film grossed over $72 million domestically, while its 1998 sequel, I Still Know What You Did Last Summer (with Brandy and Mekhi Phifer joining Hewitt and Prinze battling the hooked killer at a remote resort), ratcheted up $40 million.
Producers at first had no plans to do a third sequel, but were won over by a pitch from scribe Simon Davis Barry, who cowrote the upcoming Wesley Snipes thriller, The Art of War.
Barry, who's signed to pen the third Summer, has another script, The 51st State, starring James Bond baddie Robert Carlyle and Samuel L. Jackson, slated to go into production in the fall.
