I Know What You Did Last Summer trailer has fans MELT DOWN over Jennifer Love Hewitt callback
Sony Pictures threw fans into a frenzy with the release of their new trailer for I Know What You Did Last Summer, which features an epic callback.
The film is a continuation of the 1997 film of the same name, which starred Jennifer Love Hewitt, Freddie Prinze Jr., Sarah Michelle Gellar and Ryan Phillippe as four teens who cover up a horrific accident, only for that to come back to haunt them a year later.
Instead of rebooting the story entirely, this new project - in theaters July 18 - brings back Love Hewitt and Prinze Jr. as Julie James and Ray Bronson from the original, as they try to help a new group of kids being stalked by a killer fisherman.
The studio released the first trailer back in April that offered a first look at Love Hewitt and Prinze Jr. along with the new cast.
This trailer offers a slew of new footage, with the trailer ending with Love Hewitt repeating her iconic line from the first film - 'What are you waiting for?'
Fans quickly took to social media to praise the trailer and this eagerly-awaited callback and offer their theories as to who the killer in the black slicker really is.
The trailer opens with Danica Richards (Madelyn Cline)'s engagement party, where her friends Ava (Chase Sui Wonders), Milo (Jonah Hauer-King), Teddy (Tyriq Withers) and Stevie (Sarah Pidgeon) have gathered.
Danica opens one last card, which only has the cryptic title phrase written on it - "I Know What You Did Last Summer" - as they show a flashback to an accident similar to the one from the original film.
Also like the original film, the group of friends swore that night never to tell anyone about what happened, but clearly someone knew, and is coming after them.
When they dismiss any notion of going to the cops, they track down both Julie and Ray, survivors of the now-infamous Southport Massacre of 1997.
The trailer features Julie and Ray trying to help the friends, with one cryptic shot even showing Ray pointing a gun at someone off camera.
Another shot shows Julie telling Ava, 'Get them, before they get you,' adding, 'Whoever is doing this, it's personal to them.'
One of the final shots shows Julie telling one of the other youngsters, 'We are not gonna die today,' though the final line had all the fans talking.
The final shot showed a subdued Love Hewitt saying to someone off camera, 'What are you waiting for?' calling back to her famous line in the original where she screamed it out loud for her killer to hear, that has become one of the film's most lasting moments.
Fans didn't hesitate to react on social media, with X user Robert Anthony (@robanthonyeadon) stating in all caps, 'JULIE SAID IT!!!'
Aussie Corpse (@adam_mossman) quote-retweeted that tweet, adding, '#jenniferlovehewitt said THE THING! #IKnowWhatYouDidLastSummer.'
Amy Koto (@TV_Fanatic_Girl) shared a GIF of Love Hewitt's line from the original, adding, 'Ohhh she said it!'
Fear Horror Guru (@fearqueerhorror) said, 'Queen #jenniferlovehewitt will always have the last words #IKnowWhatYouDidLastSummer #horror.'
Nick Greeley (@NickGreeley) added, 'She said the thing!' while another X user, JayJay (@JJ353774) recalled how the original line first came to be.
'The kid who won the contest which allowed him to direct a scene & requested Jennifer Love Hewitt say 'what are you waiting for' has now paid off twice. #IKnowWhatYouDidLastSummer,' he said.
Back in 2018, while promoting her role on Fox's 9-1-1, Love Hewitt revealed to US Weekly that was actually at the direction of an unnamed kid.
'That scene was actually directed by a kid who won a contest to come on and create a moment for the movie, and it became the biggest part of the movie,' she began.
'I have no idea where he is but he's like I want her to stand in the street and turn around and just scream "What are you waiting for, huh?" I was literally like, "Are you kidding me right now? This is what I'm gonna do? OK. This was a great idea,"' she admitted.
She joked, 'Every Halloween, I'll be wherever with friends in different neighborhoods and somebody will have a little too much of something while they're trick or treating and they'll come around the corner and be like, "What are you waiting for, huh?" I'm like, "Not you buddy, keep moving. Keep moving."' It's really funny, it makes me laugh.'
I Know What You Did Last Summer grossed $126 million worldwide from just a $17 million budget.
It spawned the 1998 sequel I Still Know What You Did Last Summer, and the 2006 straight-to-video film I'll Always Know What You Did Last Summer.

Married At First Sight's Katie Johnson defends Ozempic use - but issues chilling warning about the popular weight-loss drug
Married At First Sight alum Katie Johnson has opened up about Ozempic use and the little-known dangers that come with taking it regularly. The reality TV star, 37, took to Instagram on Monday to defend her use of weight-loss drugs while also issuing a chilling 'warning' about their effects. 'I have to issue a major warning. If you are on GLP1 or if you know of anyone who is on GLP1, please send them this message,' she began. GLP1 receptor agonists are used to target a naturally occurring hormone in the body that helps regulate blood sugar levels, appetite and digestion, and is an umbrella term that encompasses popular weight loss drugs such as Mounjaro and Ozempic. 'I've been learning so much about the GLP1 medication and it works. It does the job. You lose your appetite,' she told the camera. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. 'But what I didn't realise and what I didn't fully understand is that people are so unaware - through no fault of their own - that you are sending yourself into malnutrition,' she said. 'Not only will your body look for energy and eat away your muscles, but also your vitamins and your minerals that you get from nutrition are rapidly depleting. And people wonder why they've got symptoms. 'I am pro GLP1 if it's done right.' In the past, Katie has been transparent of her use of weight loss drugs. In May, she exclusively told Daily Mail Australia she initially tried Mounjaro in an effort to lose weight, but struggled with harsh symptoms, including fatigue and sickness. Mounjaro, also known as tirzepatide, is often used for type 2 diabetes and also causes weight loss - much like Ozempic, which is also known as semaglutide. 'I didn't feel alive. I was shrinking physically, but I had no energy – no spark,' she said. She then resumed using Mounjaro, but this time she took it with a supplement which she says helped with side effects. 'It changed everything,' Katie said. 'I felt energised, excited to work out, and like I was finally living again.' The former MAFS bride revealed she has already dropped a dress size – and has two more to go until she hits her target. 'I'm not chasing a number. I'm chasing a feeling – health, strength, and pride in how far I've come.'

S/he Is Still Her/e: The Official Genesis P-Orridge Doc review – Throbbing Gristle's gender-challenging tabloid-baiter
Genesis P-Orridge was the performance artist, shaman and lead singer of Throbbing Gristle who was born as Neil Megson in Manchester in 1950, but from the 90s lived in the US. P-Orridge challenged gender identity but it is clear from the interviewees that there were no wrong answers when it came to pronouns: 'he', 'she' and 'they' are all used. This is a sympathetic and amiable official docu-biography in which the subject comes across as a mix of Aleister Crowley, Charles Manson and Screaming Lord Sutch. The 'P-Orridge' surname makes me suspect that Spike Milligan might have been an indirect influence, although there's also a bit of Klaus Kinski in there as well. Genesis P-Orridge, known to friends and family as Gen, started as a radical conceptual artist, rule-breaker, consciousness-expander and tabloid-baiter who with Throbbing Gristle influentially coined the term 'industrial music', a term later to be borrowed without acknowledgment by many. They were, in the words of Janet Street-Porter, shown here in archive footage, 'too shocking for punk'. P-Orridge formed a new band, Psychic TV, in the 1980s, and then also formed a group of likeminded occultist provocateurs called Thee Temple ov Psychick Youth. (The film tactfully passes over how very annoying that spelling is.) At the beginning of the 90s, P-Orridge and his family, including first wife Paula P-Orridge, went to the US to escape a (later retracted) allegation of ritual sexual abuse. In the US, they were the guests of counterculture figure Michael Horowitz, father of Winona Ryder, and P-Orridge's career in art, music and peripheral celebrity blossomed. After divorce from Paula, P-Orridge married the artist Jacqueline Breyer, known as Lady Jaye, with whom Gen pursued a radical project of 'pandrogynous' fusion, involving breast and lip surgery. By the end, there is maybe a you-had-to-be-there factor with all this, and the film leaves you with a nagging feeling that P-Orridge was not seriously important in either art or music – but was pugnaciously sincere, too unselfconscious to be a narcissist and certainly a real one-off. S/he Is Still Her/e: The Official Genesis P-Orridge Doc is in UK and Irish cinemas from 20 June.

Great Black Hope by Rob Franklin review – privilege and race intersect in a fine debut
Lives can turn on one mistake. Smith's comes when he is caught in the corner of a restaurant in the Hamptons on the last night of summer, snorting cocaine from a key. He walks calmly out with the two khaki-clad police officers, poses for a mugshot and posts his $500 bail. Smith is Black, which won't help, but he comes from wealth, which will. So he calls his sister, who calls his father in Atlanta, who tells his mother, who collapses on the floor in shock then starts calling lawyers. Smith prepares for his court date with a series of AA meetings and counselling sessions that will make it clear that this promising young man is on the road to redemption. The contrite lines Smith rehearses have some truth, and his legal troubles are not the only thing on his mind. He was a model student as a boy, living up to the pedigree of his family of Atlanta landlords, lawyers and professors. At university, new social worlds opened thanks to new friends Elle, the effervescent Black daughter of a successful soul singer, and Carolyn, an impulsive white art-world scion. After graduating, Smith shares a New York apartment with Elle, mixing brunches, hook-ups and club nights with fairly half-hearted work. A content strategist at an arty startup, he is in an investor meeting when his phone buzzes with the news that Elle has been found dead of an overdose. Revelations and rumours spread and Smith spirals, partying harder until his arrest a few weeks later. Before long, a Vanity Fair journalist is pestering him with questions, and Carolyn won't answer his calls. Brooklyn-based writer and academic Rob Franklin, like Smith, moved from Atlanta to New York. He shared an apartment with a young woman, Lyric McHenry, who died from a widely reported overdose. His watchful and poetic debut does not dwell on the obvious drama of arrests or police investigations. It is about a gay twentysomething trying to figure out his place in the world, and plenty more besides: this is a book about New York that's part love letter, part reckoning; a tale of glamorous club kids and their sometimes bleak inner lives; and an account of the way privilege and race intersect.

Sign up to get the inside story from our top writers as well as all the must-read articles and columns, delivered to your inbox every weekend. after newsletter promotion Franklin evokes a world of slick surfaces. Carolyn's set seem to live 'entirely by what looked best in retrospect', moving from impossible-to-get dinner reservations and bleary afterparties to stage-managed meet-ups in which a picnic is 'incomplete without a tuft of bundled peonies, a sketchbook casually strewn'. One apartment has 'an emerald slab topped with a polar bear hide' instead of a couch; Smith's workplace is built of 'polycarbonate and Lucite' and peopled by 'ex‑bankers in boot-cut denim and software engineers in Yeezys'. There are moments when Smith relishes this life and finds joy in his friendships and the release of the dancefloor. But shadows are ever present. Smith claims he isn't addicted to a substance as much as a desire to 'negate or obliterate' time. As his court date beckons, he looks back on the detritus of Elle's life: the piled gift bags and cosmetics that were her payment for interning, the inverted drugs baggies that filled the bin. Smith's status and connections grant him access to exclusive circles, but his entry is conditional: he is a 'brown, queer interloper' who offers Carolyn's group a multicultural veneer. Elle's death is made to fit a tragic story: 'Black pain', Smith reflects, 'was always spectacle, was always entertainment.' The Instagram comments quickly descend: 'junkie', 'whore', 'u got wut u deserved'. If Smith's race lends a fragility to his privilege, others are broken already. He passes 'scattered, limp bodies splayed out on benches' in a park and joins a new crowd who hand out emergency supplies and drug test kits. Franklin charts Smith's slow, uncertain journey towards stability with sometimes overheated prose: rather than addiction, he speaks of 'a desire inescapable, and often ruinous to those who possess it, to scrape with fanged nails against the marbled flesh of being'. Yet for the most part he grounds his lyrical writing with granular details, from sidestreets and brand names to vivid late-night conversations, in a book that really convinces. This fine debut probes grief, friendship, hedonism and the hard edges of the city as it walks a young man towards a second chance he knows others may not get.
