I Know What You Did Last Summer Reboot Loses Camila Mendes

As a cinephile who has spent countless hours immersed in the intricate tapestry of films and their behind-the-scenes drama, I must say, the news about Camila Mendes leaving ‘I Know What You Did Last Summer’ reboot has left me with a sense of both curiosity and anticipation.


The highly anticipated revival of “I Know What You Did Last Summer” has faced a setback with the departure of its lead actress, Camila Mendes, due to her involvement in another franchise reboot, “Masters of the Universe”. Her character was announced as one of the leads earlier this year alongside Madelyn Cline from “Outer Banks”. It’s currently undecided whether a new actor will take over Mendes’ role or if the project may be postponed for script revisions, potentially affecting its previously scheduled release date in July 2025

In a casual yet understandable manner: Per Deadline, Mendes’ role in “Masters of the Universe” conflicted with “I Know What You Did Last Summer”, causing the star to drop out of the project. She’d already committed to the Amazon MGM/Mattel film first, where she’ll take on the role of Teela, a.k.a. She-Ra, the Captain of Eternia’s Royal Guard responsible for protecting Nicholas Galitzine’s Prince Adam (He-Man)

After being stuck in production limbo for several years, the revival of “I Know What You Did Last Summer” was finally given the go-ahead in February 2023. Jennifer Kaytin Robinson (“Do Revenge”) is set to direct, with Leah McKendrick (“Scrambled”) writing the script. It’s been announced that Mendes and Cline will star, along with Sarah Pidgeon, Tyriq Withers, and Jonah Hauer-King. Although nothing has been officially confirmed, there are rumors that original stars Freddie Prinze Jr. and Jennifer Love Hewitt might also make appearances in the reboot

What Is the I Know What You Did Last Summer Reboot About?

The specific details about the remake of “I Know What You Did Last Summer” are yet to be disclosed, but as shared by Robinson, it’ll blend elements from “I Still Know What You Did Last Summer” into its narrative. Fortunately, it will disregard the 2006 sequel that went directly to DVD, “I’ll Always Know What You Did Last Summer”. In an interview with Collider earlier this year, the director hinted that social media will play a significant role in shaping the plot of the reboot

In today’s digital era, where transparency has become a highly regarded notion, the rise of platforms like TikTok and social media have brought forth figures such as Julie James. She is someone who thrives in a world devoid of secrets, crafting an image of both hero and villain, righteousness and its absence, skeletons returning to haunt you. Essentially, she is the embodiment of the big ideas about heroism, chivalry, and what is correct or incorrect conduct, how your bones come back to torment you

Paraphrasing in a conversational and easy-to-understand manner: “If you’re as much of an Office Guru enthusiast as I am, I bet you’re going to love it! I bet you’re going to succeed with it.”

Regarding Mendes’ departure from the film and its potential impact on the production timeline, only time will tell. Similar to the upcoming ‘Scream’ movie in 2022, ‘I Know What You Did Last Summer’ was set to have a young cast alongside veteran actors. The path this project takes next is something intriguing to observe. We’ll share updates on the project, including information about Mendes’ successor, as they become accessible
