Re: I KNOW WHAT YOU DID LAST SUMMER Franchise Reboot

Despite her best efforts, writer-director Jennifer Kaytin Robinson couldn’t
bring Sarah Michelle Gellar's Helen Shivers back to life for the I KNOW WHAT
YOU DID LAST SUMMER reboot.

In a recent conversation with Entertainment Weekly, Robinson said she "tried
relentlessly" to fit Gellar into the film. Her efforts were for naught,
however, because Robinson could not maneuver around the fact that Helen
Shivers is dead.

"I tried, okay? I harassed Sarah! But she is dead," Robinson said. "I tried to
pitch some crazy shit, too. I was like, 'What if it's like you weren't dead
and you're actually alive but in hiding?' And Sarah's like, 'I was on ice. I
was the most dead a person could be. You can see my frozen body.' I was like,
'Yeah, but what if?' And she said, 'I am dead. I am Sarah Dead Gellar.'"

While Gellar will be absent, original stars Jennifer Love Hewitt and Freddie
Prinze Jr. will return for the horror sequel. The film also stars newcomers
Madelyn Cline, Chase Sui Wonders, Lola Tung, Nicholas Alexander Chavez, Austin
Nichols, Sarah Pidgeon, Tyriq Withers, Jonah Hauer-King, Billy Campbell and
Gabbriette.
