Jennifer Love Hewitt and Freddie Prinze Jr. Remember ‘I Know What You Did Last Summer’ as Cult Classic Nears Anniversary
Nearly three decades after the release of the iconic teen thriller I Know What You Did Last Summer, stars Jennifer Love Hewitt and Freddie Prinze Jr. are reflecting on the film’s lasting impact. Hewitt, who played the lead role of Julie James, and Prinze Jr., her on-screen love interest Ray Bronson, helped define late 90s horror with their memorable performances.
The 1997 slasher film, which centers on a group of teenagers haunted by a deadly secret, became a staple of pop culture and launched the careers of its young cast. While Sarah Michelle Gellar was not part of this film, her frequent collaborations with Prinze Jr. in other projects like Scooby-Doo have kept both actors prominent in Hollywood conversations.
As fans eagerly await any potential reboot or sequel, the original movie continues to be celebrated for its suspenseful storytelling and charismatic leads, cementing its place in the horror genre pantheon.
