I know you did last summer that was made the constant continuation could change the franchise

Given Juggernaut that the “Creek” franchise seems that the property is a clear and unconcealed champion of “the wave of teen horror films” that he gave rise to. Not so fast, Ghostface – while other applicants, such as “City Legend” and “Dracula 2000” movies, which has long been broken, the fisherman manages to continue returning.

Correctly: Another movie about Kevin Williamson’s horrors, “I know what you did last summer” 1997, gave rise to two sequels, a series of reboot in 2021And the hereditary continuation should be released in 2025 (at the time of writing). Although this is still not enough to compete with the “cry”, it is impressive that the franchise is far from the dead, especially given how many intricate turns and turning the continuity of property captured him a relatively short life. The central hook of the first film is a group of teenagers, and then covers the accidental death, only to be a threatening person who knows their secret in a year – undoubtedly powerful (the prerequisite, which Williamson adapted from the eponymous novel Lois Duncan). However, a cursory look at the franchise – it is all necessary to realize that the continuation could go any number of ways.

To this end, director Mike Mendes (veteran of B-films as “Monastery” and “Big ass!”) The bloody disgusting In 2022, after the success of the original movie, he was invited to accept his reception for the next events “I know you did last summer”. Colombian paintings clearly sought to take advantage of the popularity of the first film, seeing “I still know what you did last summer” – the continuation of the studio eventually ended – it came out almost a year after its predecessor in November 1998. Directed by Danny Kennon and written by Trey Callaui, the film followed by Jennifer Javate “Julie” Not quite dead fisherman (Muse Watson) And his son (Matthew to settle) at a remote resort on Bahamas.

If Mendes were given the opportunity to continue on the basis of its step, but it could take the franchise in a completely different and unique direction.

As Mendes described, his step for “Last Summer” would not be involved in Bahamas (or the unfortunate Dredy Jack Black), but would take the first film by installing the whole film at Julie College. He would also develop on the original movie tips Guy Julie, Ray (Freddie Prince -Jr.)potentially being a murderer. The consequences are that the first movie uses only as a red herring, but Mendes thought it could be used again thanks to a certain line that has in the original movie:

“From what I remember, my concept was mostly as follows: the hero Jennifer Law Hyiite went to college. This was played from this thing, which Freddie Prince told her in the first movie: ‘I will always be there, I will always follow you:’ something like that. It is actually awful as he says.

As the Mendes movie would continue, Julie would threaten if the murders began again, and it would not be clear whether it was a fisherman Watson (aka Ben Willis), or a beam of a princess behind the murder. If there would be a possible disclosure, Mendes planned to use the shock turn of Williamson two killers – a gift from the first “shout” in the novel – showing that Ben and Ray had both Killed people in the pursuit of Julie, but not on one side. As he explained:

“So there are two fishermen killers who are both trying to kill Julie … It ends in the appearance of a” baby 3 “, in great entertainment with both murderers who are trying to get her. But they also hate each other to jump out of each other, and tried to make her. I wanted to do it big, zany,

Although the actual continuation of the “last summer” ended in the discovery of two killers instead of one, he made it a typical “shout” fashion in which the killers were linked to each other and their interests were aligned. By sounding this, the Mendes step was rather the situation “alien against the predator”, in which the final girl Julie hit between two killers who did not work on the team – a concept that still feels quite unconventional.

Although the memory of Mendes “I know what you did last summer” and “Creek” was a little inaccurate (he called them the bloodless PG-13 films, two things that are untrue), the general perception of both franchise seeks to coordinate with Mendes, that is, they are ” While both properties undoubtedly have hips, a populist approach, in fact they were more biting them than you could expect. Where “Creek” goes deeply into the topics of life that mimic art, injury to generations and the origins of toxic behavior, the “last summer” franchise effectively – “Friday 13th” to the “Halloween” of this film, based on the theme of guilt and a curse that can never be broken. Dastip: None of the first two films “Last Summer” has a final end, as Julie seems to be attacked by a fisherman who can be either true or just be her deep fault and paranoia that torments her.

With the third movie, “I always know what you did last summer,” all the rates were officially disabled. All because the film, which was ordered by the check of the previous two records and went forward and made the fisherman a completely supernatural essence. Similarly, when human Ben Willis participated in the first two films, which will be able to shoot some rather complex pranks and settings for their victims, the third in the “last summer” party should never justify the ability of the fisherman. This is to continue the comparison of “Friday 13th”, “Friday 13th part VI: Jason lives” franchise “last summer, that is, a record when the property ceases to play with stretching and head immersion in paranormal. Although the title of direct video footage is only freely related to the first two films, it feels like a turning franchise, not a complete reboot.

Reboot can really become ethos for the continuation of the “last summer” 2025, which Seem (“A -L 1998” “Hallowe H20”). Although it is a pity that the idea of ​​a supernatural fisherman seems to be postponed, the fact that it happened at all-cut with the old Mendes step-testing that the fisherman may still be more tricks and a surprise in the handle.
