It’s The Best Work We’ve Done


Freddie Prinze Jr. is praising his work with co-star Jennifer Love Hewitt on the I Know What You Did Last Summer sequel.

The thriller directed by Jennifer Kaytin Robinson reunites Prinze and Love Hewitt to reprise their roles of Ray Bronson and Julie James, respectively.

“Whatever a high school union feels like, that’s what it felt like,” Prinze told People about the reunion. “You have no idea what’s changed, what’s the same. You’re excited to show what you think you’re better at, you know what I mean? You hope they notice it. It was all those things.”

Prinze noted that returning to the roles and a tight filming schedule had to have them trust each other, adding, “I didn’t have any reason not to trust her. I know how much this character means to her. She puts everything into this girl and always has since the first movie.”

The duo starred in the original 1997 film and later reprised their roles in the 1998 sequel, I Still Know What You Did Last Summer. Prinze revealed that he never saw the 2006 sequel titled I’ll Always Know What You Did Last Summer, which didn’t have either him or Love Hewitt.

“I know when we got together, they’re the best scenes that we’ve put on camera together, of any of the three movies,” he said, noting, “I know there was another one in there, but I never saw that one.”

Prinze went on to say, “I’m really proud of the work that Love and I got to do on screen. I think it’s the best work we’ve done in all three of the movies that we did together. And I don’t think it’s close.”

I Know What You Did Last Summer is scheduled for release in theaters on July 18. Other actors in the sequel include Madelyn Cline, Chase Sui Wonders, Jonah Hauer-King, Tyriq Withers, Sarah Pidgeon, Billy Campbell, Gabbriette Bechtel, Austin Nichols, Nicholas Alexander Chavez, and more.
