'I Know What You Did Last Summer' costume designer on Fisherman's new look, Easter egg
The Fisherman is back to terrorize another group of friends in the latest 'I Know What You Did Last Summer' sequel, and with him is a fresh outfit to torment one more generation of scary movie fans.
Mari-An Ceo, the costume designer behind the slasher villain's new look, has opened up about how this movie's Fisherman costume differs from the one featured in the 1997 original.

'The original one was basically made out of just vinyl, which cinematically looked great in the movie from 1997,' Ceo exclusively told The Post. 'But of course, we've got to make everything much more intense now with how they shoot, with the new digital cameras and whatnot.'
'So we actually went through quite a process of testing different fabrics,' she shared. 'The fabric we ended up with was a wax cotton, and we painted quite a bit into it to make it look like it was wet.'

After doing several camera tests with director Jennifer Kaytin Robinson and cinematographer Elisha Christian, Ceo and her team created the slicker seen on-screen in the new 'IKWYDLS.'

While the original Fisherman wore a standard yellow slicker and hat made of vinyl, the new version features a darker raincoat and hood made of wax cotton.

'So it was actually a lot of work just to get that jacket to where it was that they really loved filming it, and it had to move and do all the special things that you need a costume to do, especially in a movie like this,' Ceo added.
Surprisingly, Ceo revealed that the new movie was not initially going to include a redesign for the Fisherman's costume.

'Funny enough, we weren't going to redesign it in the beginning,' she shared. 'And then as we were looking at it on the actor, and it's moving, Jen's like, 'I don't know. Maybe we can do something else?' And we all sort of thought that.'
After playing around with different concepts regarding how the costume could look, they came up with one new idea in particular.
'So it became this whole thing,' Ceo continued. 'Like, you know, maybe it's a hood, maybe it's this, and we had all these different ideas. I was like, let's try it.'

'We just kind of landed on the hood, which was funny,' she added. 'So that was the redesign for the new movie.'
Besides a darker and more menacing new costume, the Fisherman in the latest 'IKWYDLS' is also armed with an upgraded ice hook to torture and kill his victims.
Like the old Fisherman slicker and the new redesigned one, the new ice hook has some major differences compared to the original.

'It was basically the same hook, but they made it look a little more dangerous,' Ceo explained. 'Props and the art department were also incredible on this. They had to make it a little more dangerous and pointy, but also make it safe.'
'With anything that we do, they had many of them doing different things for close-ups and pursuits and all that,' she added.

Starring Madelyn Cline (Danica Richards), Chase Sui Wonders (Ava Brucks), Jonah Hauer-King (Milo Griffin), Tyriq Withers (Teddy Spencer), Sarah Pidgeon (Stevie Ward) and Gabbriette Bechtel (Tyler Trevino), the new 'IKWYDLS' follows five friends one year after they cover up their involvement in a deadly car accident.

Besides the direct connections between the 1997 original and the 2025 sequel, Ceo revealed that she and her team included some throwbacks to the first film by way of the costumes worn by the new cast members.
'I did watch the original, of course, before doing it,' she shared. 'And we did want to do a few throwbacks, like Jennifer Love Hewitt in the original wore these overalls. And so we ended up doing overalls on Sarah Pidgeon in the finale, which is really fun.'

'We tried to do a few homages from the original,' Ceo told The Post. 'Their clothes were just based on the characters for this. But we did reference some things from the original for what we did here.'
As for the movie's costume design itself, Ceo said that she was proud of how it all ended up looking on the big screen.
'We put a lot of thought and effort into it,' she said. 'I liked how everybody wore it, and they were all super happy and comfortable in their clothes.'
'I'm proud of the costumes, for sure, and I'm proud of the crew, the cast and everybody involved in it.'

Saying this one simple phrase can prevent arguments in your marriage: ‘It works when your spouse is driving you crazy'
Sticks and stones can hurt — but the wrong words can blow up your marriage before you can spit out, 'You're overreacting.' The good news? There's a four-word phrase that can supposedly stop a fight before it starts — or keep you from snapping at your sweetie. According to writer Rachel Bowie, the lifesaver that can stop your love life from flatlining is as follows: 'Always assume good intentions.' 'The reason this phrase works when your spouse is driving you crazy is kinda obvious,' Bowie wrote in an essay for PureWow. 3 Four little words could slam the brakes on a blowup — or stop you from taking your sweetheart's head clean off. La Famiglia – 'The act of assuming good intentions serves as a reminder that we are, in fact, in tricky situations together, allowing us to reframe a messy moment and reminding me to pause, back up and put myself in my spouse's shoes,' she wrote. She suggested thinking, ''OK, before I blow my lid off, perhaps there's more to the story here? Maybe it was a hard afternoon. Maybe the baby started crying halfway into a game of Trouble. Maybe my husband deserves a bit of grace.'' Bowie admits she's tested it in real life — and it works. 'It's not about avoiding conflict or conversation around tougher topics (it was irritating that our home was a mess and that I stepped on two Yahtzee dice).' 3 Experts say this phrase works as you can ditch the rage, and you'll think clearly, stay calm and actually hear your partner out. bongkarn – 'It's more about making room for productive and thoughtful conversation, reducing conflict and achieving an improved way forward together. My husband and I have come to rely on the phrase in matters large and small.' It's even a two-way street. 'And spoiler: It helps him not get mad at me too,' she added. 'Like when I forgot to book a day camp only to find out the night before that it was sold out. Instead of freaking out, he put himself in my shoes. Life has been crazy busy, this detail fell through the cracks. We unified as a team. And yes, we did split the childcare the next day.' 3 It's about clearing the air so you can talk like adults, cut the drama, and actually move forward together. Prostock-studio – While this phrase can help avoid conflict — others might cause it. As previously reported by The Post, psychologist and author Jeffrey Bernstein warns that certain phrases are 'toxic' to relationships. 'When we first meet, and during the embryonic stages of loving relationships, we tend to be on our best behavior,' he wrote for Psychology Today. 'Yet, way too often, over time, we let down our guard and allow ourselves to respond to our partners in ways that don't feel good.' The repeat offenders? 'You're overreacting,' 'It's no big deal,' and 'You're too sensitive.' Even if you're trying to calm things down, Bernstein says such responses 'can feel dismissive and lead to your partner feeling judged.' Keep it up, and your relationship is likely 'doomed to fail.' Bottom line: Skip the dismissive zingers, ditch the scorekeeping, and avoid the silent treatment. In the heat of an argument, four little words — 'Always assume good intentions' — just might save your sanity… and your marriage.

Clip of Sydney Sweeney's expert shooting range run goes viral after Republican registration revealed, American Eagle ad fiasco
A video of 'Americana' star Sydney Sweeney perfecting her shooting skills at a gun range resurfaced online and quickly went viral after she was revealed to be a registered Republican amid outrage over her American Eagle ad. Sweeney, 27, has been in the crosshairs of online social justice warriors who said her ill-fated July advertisement had eugenics undertones, emphasizing her 'good jeans' — all while largely focusing on her bust. Soon after, it was revealed that the Emmy-nominated actress has been registered with the Republican Party of Florida in Monroe County since June 2024, according to public voter records viewed by The Post. Advertisement Now, a 2019 clip of the actress masterfully blasting a gun at a shooting range for an unspecified movie role is making its rounds online. 5 A 2019 video of Sydney Sweeney practicing for an unspecified Hollywood role at a gun range went viral.

Advertisement 5 Sweeney's advertisement with American Eagle has been slammed by lefty keyboard warriors. American Eagle The bombshell, who shot to fame after starring in HBO's 'Euphoria,' hasn't publicly responded to the advertisement's controversy, but made her first appearance at a screening of her upcoming film 'Americana' on Monday. At the viewing, Sweeney was heckled by a disgruntled fan who shouted that she should 'Stop the ad, that is being racist!' TMZ reported. 5 Sweeney made her first public appearance since the ad was released at a viewing for her upcoming movie 'Americana.' WireImage Advertisement Sweeney didn't respond and disappeared into her vehicle. American Eagle defended its advertisement, but removed the video from its social media accounts.

'Sydney Sweeney, a registered Republican, has the 'HOTTEST' ad out there. It's for American Eagle, and the jeans are 'flying off the shelves.' Go get 'em Sydney!' Trump wrote. 5 Sweeney has not addressed the controversies surrounding the advertisements or her political affiliation. Getty Images 'Or just look at Woke singer Taylor Swift. Ever since I alerted the world as to what she was by saying on TRUTH that I can't stand her (HATE!). She was booed out of the Super Bowl and became, NO LONGER HOT. The tide has seriously turned — Being WOKE is for losers, being Republican is what you want to be. Thank you for your attention to this matter!' Swift made an appearance at the 2025 Super Bowl to cheer on her longtime boyfriend and Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce before the team was trounced by the Philadelphia Eagles. She was reportedly booed by Eagles fans when shown on the jumbotron. The Post reached out to Taran Tactical Innovations, the gun store that provided the firearms used in Sweeney's gun range practice, for comment, but didn't immediately hear back.
