As a seasoned gamer and horror movie enthusiast who grew up watching the original “I Know What You Did Last Summer,” I can’t help but feel a tinge of disappointment hearing about Camila Mendes dropping out of the upcoming sequel. However, with her busy schedule filled with blockbuster projects like “Masters of the Universe” and her own production company, I understand that she has to prioritize her commitments.
It’s customary to find many horror movies in the pipeline being sequels, prequels, reboots, or revivals. Titles like “Terrifier 3,” “Apartment 7A,” and even “Nosferatu” will be common during spooky season and beyond. However, an actor who was initially cast for the upcoming legacy sequel of “I Know What You Did Last Summer,” which is being produced by Sony, has departed from the project and is no longer involved
Regrettably for enthusiasts of the TV series “Riverdale”, it appears that Camila Mendes, who plays Veronica Lodge, won’t be starring in the upcoming ’90s-style slasher spinoff as previously speculated. Instead, Mendes has chosen to focus on a different project: she will be part of the cast for Amazon MGM’s forthcoming blockbuster “Masters of the Universe”
It seems that despite the casting of Mendes as He-Man’s co-star in August 2024 for the movie “IKWYDLS” and her previous addition to the cast, the Mattel production has priority over the horror film. As reported by Deadline, due to scheduling conflicts between both projects, the actress from “Do Revenge” had to withdraw from the lower-budgeted release
Recently, Mendes has been quite swamped with work, transforming her years as Veronica into a plethora of professional prospects. This year alone, she acted in Carlson Young’s romantic comedy spin-off of Cinderella titled Upgraded, and collaborated with YouTube sensation Rudy Mancuso for his directorial debut Música. Additionally, she is involved in the production of the upcoming teenage comedy Griffin in Summer, which she’s handling through her newly established production company Honor Role, founded alongside Happy Death Day star Rachel Matthews
At this moment, it appears that “I Know What You Did Last Summer” is moving ahead as intended, with a likely focus on casting before the filming begins shortly. Although nothing has been officially confirmed just yet, original stars Jennifer Love Hewitt and Freddie Prinze Jr. have been in discussions to take on their characters, Julia and Ray, once more
Brandi has verified discussions are underway for a sequel to “I Know What You Did Last Summer,” and as an ardent fan, I can’t wait for them to cast her in the movie immediately
In July, Mendes joined a casting roster alongside Madelyn Cline from “Outer Banks,” Sarah Pidgeon of “The Wilds,” Tyriq Withers from “Tell Me Lies,” and Jonah Hauer-King, who stars in the live-action “Little Mermaid.” Jenn Kaytin Robinson is set to direct this project, using a script written by Leah McKendrick. The script is based on a story they co-created, which is said to be a continuation directly following the second film
At this moment, we’re unsure when “I Know What You Did Last Summer” will make it onto the 2025 movie schedule or if it might be released after that date. In the meantime, the TV version of the story is still accessible for streaming via an Amazon Prime membership
