'I Know What You Did Last Summer' costume designer on Fisherman's new look, Easter egg
New sequel, new hook, new look. 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.

Getty Images for A24 '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.'

Sony Pictures 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. Advertisement '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. 13 The original Fisherman's costume was made of vinyl and included a basic ice hook for a weapon.

'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.' 13 The original 1997 Fisherman also wore a vinyl fisherman's hat to hide his identity.

'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.

'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.

Advertisement 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.' 13 Freddie Prinze Jr. as Ray Bronson and Jennifer Love Hewitt as Julie James in the original 1997 'I Know What You Did Last Summer.' ©Columbia Pictures/Courtesy Everett Collection 13 Sarah Pidgeon's overalls in this scene are a throwback to Jennifer Love Hewitt's overalls in the original. ©Columbia Pictures/Courtesy Everett Collection Advertisement '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.'

Sarah Michelle Gellar 'wasn't supposed' to return for 'I Know What You Did Last Summer' sequel
Spoilers below for 'I Know What You Did Last Summer.' Talk about a last-minute twist. Sarah Michelle Gellar wasn't initially meant to return as slain beauty queen Helen Shivers in the new 'I Know What You Did Last Summer' sequel, according to costume designer Mari-An Ceo.

Starbuck/AFF-USA/Shutterstock Ceo, who has also worked on other horror films like last year's 'MaXXXine,' revealed that Gellar was only on set to support her husband, Freddie Prinze Jr., who reprised his original role as Ray Bronson. Advertisement It was then that director Jennifer Kaytin Robinson, who is Gellar's close friend in real life, and writer Sam Lansky approached the actress about reprising her role as Helen for a surprise dream sequence cameo. 'Sarah Michelle Gellar wasn't supposed to be in our movie at all,' Ceo claimed exclusively told The Post. 'She was there with her kids, with Freddie, to come and just hang out.' 16 Costume designer Mari-An Ceo at the Los Angeles premiere of 'MaXXXine' on June 23, 2024.

Gellar and Prinze, who married in 2002 and have since welcomed two children, co-starred together in the original 1997 'IKWYDLS.' Despite being brutally murdered by the Fisherman shortly after becoming Croaker Queen of the 1996 Southport Beauty Pageant, Gellar makes a short surprise cameo in the sequel when Madelyn Cline's character, Danica Richards, falls asleep at a police station. 16 Sarah Michelle Gellar as Helen Shivers in the original 1997 'I Know What You Did Last Summer.' ©Columbia Pictures/Courtesy Everett Collection Advertisement 16 Sarah Michelle Gellar reprising her role as Helen Shivers for a surprise cameo in the new 'I Know What You Did Last Summer.'

But bringing Gellar's dream sequence cameo to life was not easy, Ceo admitted. The new 'IKWYDLS' was filmed in Australia and the Croaker Queen crown was either lost or destroyed after the original movie was finished filming. '[Robinson] said she wanted to do this dream sequence, so we replicated her look for the dream sequence, but we needed the old Croaker Queen crown that didn't exist anymore,' the costume designer explained. 'And we had to remake that in Australia, in like the smallest window of time,' she added. 16 Sarah Michelle Gellar's character, Helen Shivers, wearing the iconic Croaker Queen crown in the original 1997 'I Know What You Did Last Summer.' ©Columbia Pictures/Courtesy Everett Collection 16 Sarah Michelle Gellar filming a scene for the original 'I Know What You Did Last Summer.' ©Columbia Pictures/Courtesy Everett Collection Luckily, Ceo and her team were able to remake the crown in time to shoot Gellar's cameo.

'We got the box with the crown in it, and everybody had to put it on.' 'Sarah was like, 'Oh my god, this is amazing. It's even better than the original,'' she continued. 'We were all excited. It became like Croaker Queen Day, and everybody had to come see the crown.' 'It's just an homage to the original one, and I'm so glad we were able to do it.' 16 A poster for the original 1997 'I Know What You Did Last Summer.' ©Columbia Pictures/courtesy Everett Co Advertisement 16 A poster for the new 'I Know What You Did Last Summer' sequel.

'And honestly I didn't see how I could be in the movie until [Robinson] and [Lansky] pitched me that crazy dream sequence with [Cline],' she added.

‘I Know What You Did Last Summer' fans speculate Jennifer Love Hewitt and Freddie Prinze Jr. shot scenes separately
Freddie Prinze Jr. and Jennifer Love Hewitt survived the original 'I Know What You Did Last Summer' — but they can't escape from new fan theories. Twenty-eight years after the 1997 slasher hit theaters, the movie returned with a sequel on July 18. 12 'I Know What You Did Last Summer' fans speculate about the film. X Along with new faces, including Madelyn Cline, Lola Tung, Nicholas Alexander Chavez and Chase Sui Wonders, audiences received the ultimate blast from the past. Prinze Jr., 49, reprised his role as Ray Bronson, while Hewitt, 46, brought back the iconic Julie James. However, on Saturday, one social media suggested that the stars didn't film their scenes together this time around. 'Okay guys. Let's spark a debate here,' they posted on X. 'Do you ACTUALLY think Jennifer Love Hewitt & Freddie Prinze Jr. filmed their scenes together for 'I KNOW WHAT YOU DID LAST SUMMER' (2025)?! People are starting to notice the 'cuts and separate shots'. This is too much lol.' 12 'I Know What You Did Last Summer' fans think Jennifer Love Hewitt and Freddie Prinze Jr. shot scenes separately. X The Sony reboot's director, Jennifer Kaytin Robinson, quickly cleared up any confusion. 'They absolutely shot their scenes together. Hope this helps,' she wrote on X with a heart emoji. The original poster apologized to the filmmaker and shared that they felt embarrassed. Robinson, 37, responded, 'No apology necessary! I totally get why people might think that cause of some of the coverage but they are absolutely acting off each other. It was electric!' 12 Jennifer Love Hewitt in the new slasher. ©Columbia Pictures/Courtesy Everett Collection Despite the pair filming their scenes together, Prinze Jr. revealed he hadn't seen Hewitt since shooting the 1998 sequel, 'I Still Know What You Did Last Summer.' 'We run in different circles,' the actor told Variety on Saturday. 'I hadn't seen her since we wrapped the second movie in '98, but we care a lot about these characters, and it was all still there.' 'After we finished that first scene, we had a chance to say, 'Oh, you have kids. And you have kids.' Honestly, I think the first scene we share in this movie, where Ray and Julie confront the reality of their relationship, is the best work we've done of all three,' Prinze Jr. continued. 'I'm really proud of it. Our director, Jenn Robinson, three-dimensionalized these characters.' 12 Freddie Prinze Jr. as Ray in the 2025 'IKWYDLS.' ©Columbia Pictures/Courtesy Everett Collection The 'She's All That' alum tied the knot with his 'I Know What You Did Last Summer' co-star, Sarah Michelle Gellar, in 2002. The pair share kids Charlotte, 15, and Rocky, 12. Hewitt, meanwhile, married her 'The Client List' co-star Brian Hallisay in 2013. The couple are parents to Autumn, 11, Atticus, 10, and Aidan, 3. There has been rumors of a decades-long feud between Hewitt and Gellar, 48. 12 Freddie Prinze Jr. in a scene from the new 'I Know What You Did Last Summer.' ©Columbia Pictures/Courtesy Everett Collection On Friday, the 'Holiday Junkie' actress revealed she hasn't kept in touch with her former co-star since starring in the 1997 project. 'I honestly don't even know what that was or how that all came to be,' Hewitt told Vulture. 'I just think people don't want the narrative to be easy. Why do we always have to be against each other and out for each other.' 'I haven't seen Sarah,' she explained. 'Literally, we've not talked since I saw her at 18 years old when the first movie came out. That's why it's so funny to me. People were like, 'Say something back.' And I'm like, 'What am I going to say? I've not seen her.' On my side, we're good. I have no idea where this is coming from.' 12 Jennifer Love Hewitt and Freddie Prinze Jr. in a scene from 'I Know What You Did Last Summer.' ©Columbia Pictures/Courtesy Everett Collection In the original horror film, Gellar played Helen Shivers, the beauty queen who was murdered.

'For everyone asking — I never got to see @jenniferlovehewitt, who is fantastic in the movie. I was inside with my kids when the big carpet happened. And unfortunately, JLH didn't come to the after-party,' Gellar wrote on Instagram at the time. 12 Jennifer Love Hewitt, Ryan Phillipe, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Freddie Prinze Jr. in 'I Know What You Did Last Summer.'

'I just heard that there's this whole thing where they think that Sarah and I were fighting or something. There's all these things out there,' she said on Tommy DiDario's 'I've Never Said This Before' podcast. 'I've really enjoyed going and trying to read the stuff now and be like, 'What are people saying about when we did the movie before, now, all of that stuff?'' Hewitt continued. 'Somebody the other day was like, 'Yeah, I think Julie made sure that she was killed because girl actresses don't like to work with girl actresses.' I was like, 'What are you talking about?'' 12 Sarah Michelle Gellar, and Freddie Prinze Jr. in 'I Know What You Did Last Summer.' ©Columbia Pictures/Courtesy Everett Collection 12 The cast of 'I Know What You Did last Summer' poses at the film's premiere on October 8 in Hollywood. Fred Prouser 'I was 18,' the 'Party of Five' alum said. 'They were not taking script notes from me guys. Like what are you talking about?' That same month, Gellar was asked if Hewitt would return for the new 'I Know What You Did Last Summer' film. 'I have nothing to do with that,' she responded before walking away from the interviewer. Gellar later clarified why she left on her Instagram Stories. 12 Sarah Michelle Gellar and Freddie Prinze Jr. at the 2025 premiere of 'IKWYDLS.' FilmMagic 'Aspiring actors please note: This 'deer in the headlights' reaction is perfect for when you are excited to see so many old friends in one project but have already stupidly forgotten what NDA means once this month,' she penned beneath a shot from the film's Australian set. Hewitt also confirmed that the entire cast got along great on set in the '90s. 'All of us were in that experience together, kind of figuring it all out and everything,' she recalled. 'I root for her and Freddie and think it's the cutest thing in the world that they've been married for 100 years and have kids. It's adorable. So yeah it's been really funny to see all this stuff that people think.' 12 Jennifer Love Hewitt on the red carpet of 'I Know What You Did Last Summer.' Sony Pictures via Getty Images This time around, Prinze Jr. had just as good of an experience. 'Whatever a high school union feels like, that's what it felt like,' he told People earlier this month. 'You have no idea what's changed, what's the same. You're excited to show what you think you're better at. You hope they notice it. It was all those things.'

Freddie Prinze Jr. and Jennifer Love Hewitt 'Run in Different Circles' After Rumored Feud
Freddie Prinze Jr. and Jennifer Love Hewitt may have a long history since they starred in I Know What You Did Last Summer together in the '90s. But that doesn't mean they've always remained tight. Freddie opened up about the nature of his relationship with Jennifer after a rumored feud between them was recently debunked. During an interview with Variety, Freddie admitted that before reuniting with JLH for the I Know What You Did Last Summer reboot, they hadn't seen each other in nearly three decades. 'We run in different circles,' he explained. 'I hadn't seen her since we wrapped the second movie in '98, but we care a lot about these characters, and it was all still there. After we finished that first scene, we had a chance to say, 'Oh, you have kids. And you have kids.'' The Scooby-Doo alum, who has been married to fellow IKWYDLS star Sarah Michelle Gellar since 2002, added, 'Honestly, I think the first scene we share in this movie, where Ray and Julie confront the reality of their relationship, is the best work we've done of all three. I'm really proud of it. Our director, Jenn Robinson, three-dimensionalized these characters.' Per Us Weekly, fans have long speculated that Jennifer had a tiff with SMG after the first film and requested that her character be killed off from the franchise. The Ghost actor debunked the rumor during a 2024 appearance on the I've Never Said This Before podcast, saying, 'I was 18. They were not taking script notes from me, guys.' She also clarified that she was 'totally' friends with Sarah back then, adding, 'All of us were in that experience together and, kind of, figuring it all out and everything. I root for her and Freddie and think it's the cutest thing in the world that they've been married for 100 years, and have kids. It's adorable. It's just been really funny to see all of this stuff that people think.' After the premiere of the latest IKWYDLS movie, Sarah entered the chat in her Instagram comments section to clarify where she and Jennifer stand. 'For everyone asking—I never got to see @jenniferlovehewitt who is fantastic in the movie. I was inside with my kids when the big carpet happened. And unfortunately JLH didn't come to the after party,' she wrote. She added, 'If you have ever been to one of these it's crazy. I sadly didn't get pics with most of the cast. But that doesn't change how amazing I think they all are. Unfortunately some things happen only in real life and not online.' The film's reboot, which stars Gen Z powerhouses Chase Sui Wonders, Madelyn Cline, Jonah Hauer-King, Gabbriette Bechtel, and Sarah Pidgeon, continues in the same timeline as the original 1997 movie. Director Jenn Kaytin Robinson brought Freddie and Jennifer's OG characters back for the legacy sequel and shot down theories that the pair shot their scenes separately amid their longstanding feud rumors. 'They absolutely shot their scenes together. Hope this helps,' Jenn wrote in response to a social media post that sparked a debate between fans of the iconic franchise. TL;DR: it seems like there isn't any bad blood between these scream queens and kings.
