With so many 90s horror films getting reboots or remakes (did you recognize there was a remake of City Legend just lately? Wild), there’s by no means been a greater time to have a look again on the mythology surrounding these movies.
Fortunately for us, Vulture did a deep dive into one of the most famous moments in slasher film history – the second in I Know What You Did Last Summer time when a annoyed, at the finish of her rope, Jennifer Love Hewitt screams, “What are you ready for?!” into the sky. Again in 2018, Hewitt had recounted to Us Weekly that the scene wasn’t half of the unique plan for the film, however as an alternative got here from a contest winner at the final minute.
“So right here’s what’s loopy about that. That scene was really directed by a child who received a contest to come back on and create a second for the film, and it grew to become the largest half of the film,” the actress stated at the time. “I was actually like, ‘are you kidding me proper now?’” she continued, summarizing her surprised response at the time. “Then we have been doing it, and it was wonderful.”
The one drawback is, no-one else seems to know what Hewitt was speaking about.
People who labored on I Know What You Did Last Summer time in addition to its sequel, I Nonetheless Know What You Did Last Summer time, weren’t in a position to corroborate Hewitt’s model of the occasions for Vulture. In fact, the director of the first movie, Jim Gillespie, and cinematographer Denis Crossan each stated that the “What are you ready for?!” line was in the script written by Kevin Williamson earlier than they even began capturing the movie. How about that?
So why did Hewitt say {that a} child made up that line? In the spirit of an episode of Buzzfeed Unsolved, this query might have to stay, at the least till Hewitt addresses it, unsolved. Representatives for Hewitt did not reply to Vulture’s requests for remark, nor did Sony Footage. So do not maintain your breath.
