Sony Rebooting I Know What You Did Last Summer

With the help of Oculus' Mike FlanaganOf all the titles being fed into the maw of the Reboot Machine, we really didn’t think anyone would add 1997 horror I Know What You Did Last Summer to the conveyor belt. Still, Sony has other ideas, hiring Oculus co-writer/director Mike Flanagan to go back to the source novel – yes, the film had one – for a new stab.Flanagan, who is working once again with co-producer Jeff Howard (who contributed to the script that turned Oculus from a short into a successful horror film), is working from Lois Duncan’s 1973 book about a group of teens that cover up a fatal car accident, only for them to be stalked and slaughtered in revenge.The story spawned the 1997 original, which saw Jennifer Love Hewitt, Sarah Michelle Gellar and Ryan Philippe among the leads, and 1999’s I Still Know What You Did Last Summer, which reunited Hewitt and some of the cast for more slasher action.Sony will no doubt be hoping Flanagan can bring his abilities with lower budget horror to help kick off a profitable new franchise.
