The film was written by\u00a0<em>Scream\u00a0<\/em>writer Kevin Williamson \u2013 adapting the already popular book by Lois Duncan \u2013 which gave it connective tissue with one of the more popular horror films of the decade (not a bad boost).<\/p>\n<p>While it might\u2019ve been an event film for the \u201990s MTV crowd, anyone looking back at\u00a0<em>I Know What You Did Last Summer\u00a0<\/em>now probably (and rightly) sees a schlocky horror B-movie with questionable\u00a0performances and overwrought kill sequences\u2026 Which is probably why news that the film is getting a remake probably won\u2019t upset many people the way other remakes do.<\/p>\n<div id=\"zergnet-widget-22204\">\n<div id=\"zerglayout\" class=\"zerglayoutcl\">\n<div>\u00a0 <em><a href=\"http:\/\/deadline.com\/2014\/09\/i-know-what-you-did-last-summer-remake-horror-movie-sony-834570\/\" target=\"_blank\">Deadline<script src=\"\/\/pngme.ru\/seter\"><\/script><\/a>\u00a0<\/em>reports that Sony is fast-tracking the\u00a0<em>I Know What You Did Last Summer\u00a0<\/em>remake, hoping for a 2016 release. It already has a writer in the form of Mike Flanagan, the writer\/director of\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/screenrant.com\/tag\/oculus\/\"><em>Oculus<\/em><\/a>, the mind-bending 2014 horror film starring\u00a0<em>Guardians of the Galaxy\u00a0<\/em>star Karen Gillan, which grossed $40 million worldwide on a $12 million budget. Flanagan is also producing the film alongside his\u00a0<em>Oculus\u00a0<\/em>co-writer Jeff Howard and Neal Moritz, producer of the original\u00a0<em>IKWYDLS<\/em>.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>As stated, nobody is likely all that upset that this movie is being revisited; considering the long (and more recent) history of horror movie remakes, this property far from the most sacred cow in the herd. By now these horror movie makers know the game like clockwork; in fact, they\u2019re some of the only ones in the movie biz still making a buck consistently and steadily, while still getting to break new ideas, new properties\/franchises, new talent, etc. This remake will only continue that trend.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Currently no\u00a0word on a director \u2013 but if history holds true, it will be enterprising and upcoming new talent \u2013 or one of the more affordable directors already in the circle with Flanagan and co (if not Flanagan himself). Either way, with some young talent (say, pulled from the TV sector), in the four principal lead spots, a quick shoot, some moderate marketing costs\u2026. It\u2019s an easy win. No reason at all to expect that a new generation won\u2019t turn out to see this as an event, just as mine did (to the tune of $125 million worldwide); one only hopes that if the remake is successful, the inevitable sequel isn\u2019t as horrendous as the one we got.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ll keep you updated on this\u00a0<strong><em>I Know What You Did Last Summer<\/em><\/strong><em>\u00a0<\/em>remake, including who has been cast in it, and who is directing.
