Freddie Prinze Jr., Sarah Michelle Gellar step out at 'I Know What You Did Last Summer' premiere
The cast of the new "I Know What You Did Last Summer," including Jennifer Love Hewitt and Freddie Prinze Jr., hit the red carpet for the film's Los Angeles premiere on Monday, July 14, nearly 28 years after the original slasher hit.
Prinze was joined on the carpet by his wife, Sarah Michelle Gellar. The actors met working together on the original "I Know What You Did Last Summer," the 1997 horror film in which they played friends who accidentally run over a pedestrian and are then stalked by a killer who knows their secret.
Speaking with USA TODAY about the new movie, which hits theaters on July 18, Prinze recalled how he and Gellar grew close on the first film.
"Sarah and I became really, really good friends on that movie, long before we ever went on a date together," he says. "We were just cool. I was always grateful for that relationship, even before we started dating. We started dating by accident. It just kind of happened."

Prinze and Gellar, who married in 2002, went on to work together again starring as Fred and Daphne, respectively, in 2002's "Scooby-Doo" and its sequel, "Scooby-Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed."
Gellar's fan favorite "I Know What You Did Last Summer" character, Helen Shivers, was killed off in the original movie. But Prinze reprised his role of Ray in the film's 1998 sequel, "I Still Know What You Did Last Summer." Almost three decades later, he now returns in the latest film, which reunites him with Hewitt and mixes the veteran actors with a new cast of stars who are stalked by a killer once again.
In November, Gellar caused a stir among fans when she posted a photo from the set of the new "I Know What You Did Last Summer." But she later clarified on "Live with Kelly and Mark" that her character is "dead" and noted she didn't realize she wasn't supposed to share the behind-the-scenes look.

"My husband's starring in the movie, and it was Thanksgiving, so I took our kids to Australia to go out there and visit him," she said. "I was sitting on set and I was like, 'Oh, what a great picture.' Then I posted it, and then I found out that they hadn't posted any pictures from the set yet, hadn't announced they started filming. That was (an), 'Oops, my bad!'"
Gellar added that it was "really cool" to bring her kids to set but admitted, "I got in a little bit of trouble."

'General Hospital' star Tristan Rogers diagnosed with cancer
Tristan Rogers, best known for his longtime role on the medical drama "General Hospital," is facing a health scare of his own. Rogers, who played Robert Scorpio on the classic ABC soap opera, has been diagnosed with cancer, publicist Anthony Turk confirmed in a July 17 press release to USA TODAY. The type of cancer that Rogers, 79, is battling was not disclosed. "While he remains hopeful and is working closely with his medical team on a treatment plan, this is a challenging time for Tristan and his family," the statement read. "As they face both the emotional and physical burdens that come with this diagnosis, the family kindly asks for privacy and understanding." Rogers has been married to Teresa Parkerson since 1995. The couple shares two children: daughter Sara, 32, and son Cale, 28. "They are deeply grateful for the outpouring of support and love from their friends and family," the statement continued. 'They just hated my character so much': Eva Larue on leaving 'General Hospital' Rogers, who was born in Melbourne, Australia, cut his teeth as a soap actor in the 1970s with roles on the Australian TV series "Number 96," "The Box" and "Bellbird." The budding actor traded the Down Under for the fictional town of Port Charles, New York, when he joined the cast of "General Hospital" in December 1980, playing super spy Scorpio. Rogers went on to enjoy a 12-year stint on the long-running drama before departing the series in 1992. He was nominated for two Soap Opera Digest Awards during his initial "GH" tenure, including a 1986 nod for outstanding daytime actor in a leading role. 'General Hospital' star John J. York opens up about 'very welcoming' return amid cancer battle After a nearly 15-year hiatus, Rogers returned to the show in 2006 for a series of recurring appearances, followed by additional guest performances in 2008, 2012-2016 and 2018-2024. In total, the fan-favorite actor has appeared on over 1,400 episodes of "General Hospital," according to Rogers' IMDb page. Rogers also appeared on several episodes of the "General Hospital" spinoff "General Hospital: Night Shift" in 2008. "Tristan sends his love to his fans and wants them to know how much he appreciates their loyalty and encouragement over the years," Rogers' cancer diagnosis announcement stated. "This support means more to him now than ever." Rogers isn't the only "General Hospital" alum to have a bout with cancer. John J. York revealed in September 2023 that he was diagnosed with myelodysplastic syndrome and smoldering multiple myeloma the previous year, though he has since returned to the show.

‘I Know What You Did Last Summer' Review: Oops . . . They Did It Again
Millennials adore the 1997 slasher film 'I Know What You Did Last Summer,' just as they do 'Hocus Pocus' and 'Space Jam.' The taste of millennials is hereby called into question. Based on a 1973 novel by Lois Duncan, it was written by Kevin Williamson, also the writer of 'Scream' and the creator of 'Dawson's Creek,' whose pop-culture-drenched characters, especially his swaggeringly insolent women, and steady stream of teasing references to genre conventions made him one of the defining voices of Gen X. 'Last Summer' starred a Mount Rushmore of 1990s teen idols: Jennifer Love Hewitt, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Freddie Prinze Jr. and Ryan Phillippe.
