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.
