‘I Know What You Did Last Summer' Red Carpet: Cast Talks Keeping A Killer Secret
Nearly 30 summers later, Jennifer Love Hewitt and Freddie Prinze Jr. reunited on the red carpet for Monday's world premiere of I Know What You Did Last Summer. On the red carpet at the United Artists Theater in DTLA, Prinze told Deadline 'it was very surreal' sharing the screen with Hewitt again as they reprised their roles as Ray Bronson and Julie James in writer/director Jennifer Kaytin Robinson's update of the 1997 slasher film. More from Deadline Freddie Prinze Jr. On Reuniting With Jennifer Love Hewitt For 'I Know What You Did Last Summer' Sequel: "It's The Best Work We've Done" Rachael Leigh Cook & Freddie Prinze Jr. Set 'She's All That' Reunion In Christmas Movie For Fox Entertainment Studios Vertical Acquires Chad Hartigan Rom-Com 'The Threesome' Starring Zoey Deutch, Jonah Hauer-King & Ruby Cruz 'It was weird, man,' said Prinze. 'I never went to a high school reunion, but it was close to that as I could imagine 'cause I hadn't seen her in 20-plus years.' Prinze walked the red carpet with his wife Sarah Michelle Gellar, whom he met on the set of the original, and who previously sparked rumors of her return when she got in trouble for leaking a photo from set while visiting her husband. While there are quite a few satisfying cameos and canonical surprises, Robinson made one thing clear: Helen Shivers is dead. That didn't stop her from pitching longtime friend Gellar to reprise her role. 'I was like, 'Maybe you aren't dead. Maybe you faked your death. Maybe you have a twin,'' Robinson said. 'I really pitched any version of Helen Shivers being alive to Sarah, and she was like, 'I am dead.'' Co-writer Sam Lansky, who made his feature debut alongside Robinson, called the opportunity 'the most surreal dream come true' after growing up on the original. 'The care that these actors put into crafting these characters is extraordinary, and I was so heartened by that as a fan, to realize how deeply these actors care about these characters and care about the fans, and want to protect the characters and their legacies for the fans,' said Lansky. 'Nothing about it was casual, there was a lot of really, really deep thought and critical consideration that went into it on Freddie and Love's part that you just felt to your marrow.' Jonah Hauer-King, who plays Milo Griffin, was excited to 'recreate that brilliant universe that everyone fell in love with' while working with Prinze and Hewitt. 'They're great. I don't think the film could have really been made without them,' he raved. 'They're kind of synonymous with the original film, and I think having them back was such a stamp of approval for this new wave and for the new script. Them being back was sort of an endorsement for us and do our thing and bring our own fresh take too.' And with a new era in the slasher franchise, which was based on Lois Duncan's 1973 novel, comes a new slasher to unmask. The reveal is sure to give longtime fans a shock as the cast and creators wrestle with the killer secret. 'I know Jen's original plan was that we were going to shoot multiple endings. I can neither confirm or deny that,' said Sarah Pidgeon, who plays Stevie Ward. Prinze seems to have had a little more insight. 'No, there was a singular focus, there was a singular story. It wasn't Clue, there was no multiple endings,' he said with a laugh. For Lansky, keeping a lid on the who's behind the hook 'has been really hard' leading up to the movie's July 18 premiere in theaters. 'Keeping secrets is always really hard,' he added. 'But I think we knew there were things that we wanted to do that would be fun and surprising for the audience, and that's all I'm gonna say. I hope that everyone feels that element of surprise when they're watching in the theater for the first time.'

Jennifer Love Hewitt, 46, is still a Hollywood pinup in low-cut dress 28 years after I Know What You Did Last Summer
Jennifer Love Hewitt made a rare red carpet appearance on Monday evening at the I Know What You Did Last Summer movie premiere. Hewitt — who starred in the original 1997 slasher and reprises her role in the 2025 sequel — uncovered a new look at the Los Angeles event. The 46-year-old actress strayed from her signature brunette locks as she spiced things up with a fresh ginger hue. To complement the novel hair color, she stepped out in a cleavage-flashing, figure-hugging, 3-D beaded black dress from Rachel Gilbert. Rounding out the ensemble, Jennifer slipped her feet into a pair of pointy-toe black pumps with silver line detail. The BareNaked singer looked beautiful with an edgy smokey eye, mauve-toned blush, and coordinating matte lipstick. She accessorized with stacked rings and bracelets on one of her wrists. The mom-of-three, who is married to Brian Hallisay, wore her newly colored tresses in a center part and ironed straight. As she posed for photos along the step-and-repeat, she was joined by her castmates including Chase Sui Wonders, 29, with whom she shared a giddy exchange. Also at the star- studded gathering were longtime couple and former IKWYDL co-stars Sarah Michelle Gellar, 48, and Freddie Prinze Jr., 49. Gellar, whose character was killed off in the original movie, hit the premiere dressed in a strapless, blue, butterfly Oscar de la Renta mini dress. She picked up on the frock's subtle orange accents with matching accessories — a square-shaped clutch and pointy heels. Her signature blonde locks were arranged in a half-up, half-down style with tight, sultry waves throughout. For his part, Prinze Jr. was equally fashionable in a navy blue suit with a double-breasted jacket. He kept the look effortlessly cool and modern by layering a crew neck white shirt underneath his outer layer. And his suave co-ord was finished with a pair of sleek, dark, leather loafers. Sarah and Freddie met on the set of 1999's I Know What You Did Last Summer and became Hollywood's 'it' couple shortly after. The longtime husband and wife are mom and dad to two children — daughter Charlotte Grace, 15, and son Rocky James, 12. Actor Seth Green, 51, posed with former Buffy the Vampire Slayer co-star Sarah at the starry movie premiere. He attended the soiree with longtime wife, model and actress Clare Grant, 45. Green wore a black suit, dressing it down with the addition of textured pink and black sneakers. The look was tied together with a graphic T-shirt with a pink, yellow, and teal print that peeked out from under his buttoned blazer. His bombshell wife, whom he wed in 2010, put on a leggy display in a plunging, black, long-sleeved mini dress and heels. The couple marked their decade-and-a-half wedding anniversary in May, with Clare writing on Instagram, 'Marry your best friend. 15 years!' Chase looked like a bombshell in a cream-colored satin mini dress complete with a corset bodice and lacy detail Chase looked like a bombshell in a cream-colored satin mini dress complete with a corset bodice and lacy detail. The actress, who was previously romantically linked to her Bodies Bodies Bodies co-star Pete Davidson, bared her toned legs in the look. She also put on a busty display in the figure-accentuating frock, which she teamed with studded open-toe heels. And the beauty rocked a jaw-length bob that was styled in a center part with one side of the front tucked behind her ear. Madelyn Cline, 27 — who also briefly dated Pete — arrived in a bubblegum pink dress with a plunging neckline. The look gathered at her hips and over her thighs, before flowing into a subtle train that spilled around her feet. In June, Sony Pictures threw fans into a frenzy with the release of a new trailer for I Know What You Did Last Summer, which features an epic callback. The film is a continuation of the 1997 flick of the same name, which starred Hewitt, Prinze Jr., Gellar and Ryan Phillippe as four teens who cover up a horrific accident, only for it to come back to haunt them one year later. The new iteration — in theaters July 18 — brings back Hewitt and Prinze Jr. as Julie James and Ray Bronson from the original, as they try to help a new group of kids being stalked by a killer fisherman. The studio released a first-look trailer in April, which offered a glimpse at Hewitt and Prinze Jr. along with the new cast. The latest teaser shows a slew of new footage, ending with Hewitt repeating her iconic line from the first film — 'What are you waiting for?'
