Back in April of ’99, Sony dropped “Idle Hands” on us gamers, a little over a decade after the tragic events at Columbine High School. It only managed to rake in around $4 million at the box office initially, but this flick has since become a favorite among us cult movie enthusiasts.
In the initial film, Rodman Flender was the one in charge, featuring actors like Seth Green, Elden Henson, Jessica Alba, and Vivica A. Fox. The movie titled “Idle Hands” presents Sawa’s character as a teenage pothead named Anton, whose hand, now under possession, becomes determined to carry out a deadly rampage.
In collaboration, Wolfhard and Bryk have both written the script and will direct the upcoming horror-comedy movie titled “Hell of a Summer,” which is produced by Neon.
This news follows Sony rebooting the horror franchise that began with the 1997 teen slasher movie I Know What You Did Last Summer. The new entry is set to hit theaters July 15, 2025.
