Released in 1997, the post-Scream slasher I Know What You Did Last Summer is as nineties as horror movies get, the film’s cast loaded with the hot heartthrob actors of the time. We’re talking Sarah Michelle Gellar, Jennifer Love Hewitt, Ryan Phillippe, and Freddie Prinze Jr., with both Love Hewitt and Prinze Jr. reprising their roles in the subsequent 1998 sequel.
Freddie Prinze Jr. hasn’t starred in a feature horror film since I Still Know What You Did Last Summer, and the actor reveals today that it’s a return he’s been hoping for ever since.
When can we expect it? He may return to the genre as early as this year!
Prinze Jr. tweets this afternoon, “I’ve wanted to make another horror movie ever since IKWYDLS wrapped. Never found the right one but I think this year it’s gonna happen.”
In the wake of the Last Summer movies, Freddie Prinze Jr. did star in both Scooby-Doo and Scooby-Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed, live action films that were written by James Gunn.
Alas, that’s the closest he’s come to horror in well over 20 years…
