Sarah Michelle Gellar could not have an on-screen function within the deliberate I Know What You Did Final Summer season sequel however she is behind the scenes.
When Helen Shivers was murdered on July 4th, 1997, there was little doubt she was a goner. And but, Sarah Michelle Gellar retains getting requested if she is going to flip up within the upcoming I Know What You Did Final Summer season. However the purpose she received’t is exactly the identical purpose she wasn’t within the 1998 sequel. Yeah, she’s lifeless.
Sarah Michelle Gellar not too long ago instructed Folks that there isn’t an opportunity she is going to flip up within the deliberate fourth installment in the I Know What You Did Final Summer season sequence, bluntly confirming, “I am dead.” Nevertheless, she’ll nonetheless have a task behind the scenes, saying, “My best friend [Jennifer Kaytin Robinson] is directing it, so we joke that I have an unofficial job, which is I am continuity. So I’m always the one telling her, ‘Well, that would happen, or that wouldn’t happen with those characters,’ so I do have kind of an unofficial job title.”
So whereas we received’t see Sarah Michelle Gellar on the display, she does kind of hit on one other level of sequels that come years and typically many years after the final film: it’s not essentially that we’d like one other, it’s that the nostalgia brings us again to a time that that film helps encapsulate. Let’s take a look at one other horror franchise launched across the identical time, additionally by means of the lens of some supporting characters. Did we want to see Randy in Scream 3? Presumably not however his video tape enhanced the film and laid out what was actually at stake that point round. What about Billy Loomis turning up in 2022’s Scream? To me, it was fairly pressured and tried to be a bit of fan service that the story might have survived with out. Then once more, this might in concept be an method for the filmmakers to take in the event that they actually needed Helen Shivers again for the following film…
As of now, each Jennifer Love Hewitt (Julie James) and Freddie Prinze Jr. (Ray Bronson) are in talks to return to the franchise, whereas Brandy (sequel addition Karla Wilson) may be making a return. With or with out Sarah Michelle Gellar (and Ryan Phillippe), followers of the originals will little doubt be bumping this entry up on their checklist of most anticipated horror motion pictures.
Do you suppose Sarah Michelle Gellar might one way or the other be utilized within the I Know What You Did Final Summer season sequel?
