10 Things Scream Does Better Than I Know What You Did Last Summer (& Vice Versa)
Scream and I Know What You Did Last Summer are popular teen horror flicks everyone still has fond feelings about and that succeeded in different ways.
However, withI Know What You Did Last Summerconfirmed to pick up threads from its 1998 sequel, it remains to be seen whether the series' killer will make a third reappearance. Portrayed by Muse Watson, Ben Willis was last seen attacking Julie in the sequel’s final jumpscare, though this decision could easily be explained as a dream just like what the original movie’s final moments were retconned to be. With over 20 years passing and Ben having lost his son in pursuit of Julie and Ray, the sequel may see him target their children out of vengeance.
I Still Know What You Did Last Summer’s Brandy is also reportedly in talks to return for the legacy sequel.
Though Mendes' past work with Robinson inDo Revengedoes make her departure feel like a missed opportunity for a reunion, Wonders is still an excellent fit for theI Know What You Did Last Summerreboot. Not only does she have experience in the genre fromthe aforementionedBodies Bodies BodiesandDaniel Isn’t Real, but the feature continues in the footsteps of the original in bringing together a cast of up-and-coming stars for the feature. With Wonders seemingly set to join the production, a filming start on the revival may not be too far behind.
