The New ‘I Know What You Did Last Summer’ Betrays Itself From the Very Start

gizmodo.com Germain Lussier 2025-07-21 07:15:07

If you make an I Know What You Did Last Summer movie, one thing has to work above all else. Whatever the characters “did last summer” has to be bad enough for someone to plausibly return a year later and try to kill them. It’s one of the things the 1997 original gets right. A group of (mostly) drunk friends drive on a dark road, run into a person, and then, while he may or may not be still alive, throw his body into the ocean. Yeah, if I was hit by a bunch of drunk kids and left for dead, I’d fe

‘Star Trek: Strange New Worlds’ Exec Producer Confirms Identity of Rhys Darby’s Character

gizmodo.com Cheryl Eddy 2025-07-22 03:30:16

It’s very common for TV cast and crew to do spoiler-y interviews that run after a certain episode airs to address standout moments. Andor did it after Bix’s big shocker; The Last of Us did it after Joel’s big shocker; the Severance gang did it pretty much weekly throughout season two’s many big shockers. But what’s not ideal is when a showrunner type has to clarify something from an episode that… wasn’t made clear by said episode. That happened this week on Star Trek: Strange New Worlds. The se

On Doing Hard Things 10 Jul, 2025 I've never been known for my coordination, balance, or cardiovascular enthusiasm.

‘I Know What You Did Last Summer’ Cleverly Hooks a New Generation

gizmodo.com Sabina Graves 2025-07-26 11:00:50

The new I Know What You Did Last Summer offers a bold, refreshing take on horror requels that’s a worthy successor to the original film. While stars of the 1997 film Jennifer Love Hewitt and Freddie Prinze Jr. reprise their roles as Julie James and Ray Bronson, it’s a relief that they are not the parents of any of the new gang of accidental murderers. This isn’t just I Know What You Did: The Next Generation, and the fact that it isn’t speaks to the new film’s desire to do something more than jus

I’m Rewatching All of the ‘What You Did Last Summer’ Films Before the Reboot. Here’s How You Can Stream Them

I was just an elementary school kid when I Know What You Did Last Summer first fell on my radar, and I was hooked (pun fully intended), even though it wasn’t until several years later that I actually watched the entire film. The 1997 movie plays out a bit like Scream without the self-aware humor, which makes sense considering that Kevin Williamson penned the screenplays for both movies. Despite its more straightforward slasher approach, the movie’s summer setting makes it a fun, warm-weather wat

There’s a Strange New Hole in Yellowstone National Park

Last April, geologists conducting routine maintenance at temperature logging stations in Yellowstone National Park’s Norris Geyser Basin found something unexpected: a previously undocumented thermal pool of blue water. The newly identified pool, found in the Porcelain Basin subbasin, is about 13 feet (4 meters) wide, its idyllic blue water is around 109 degrees Fahrenheit (43 degrees Celsius), and the water’s surface sits about one foot (30 centimeters) below the rim of the pool, according to a

All Ncuti Gatwa Is Willing to Say About the Future of ‘Doctor Who’ Is That He’s Not It

Across two seasons, the Fifteenth Doctor got just 16 episodes of Doctor Who, plus two Christmas specials, and his era ended with a confusing regeneration and some intense uncertainty over what will come next for the long-running sci-fi series. You won’t get any concrete answers from its most recent showrunner, Russell T Davis—and the outgoing Doctor, Ncuti Gatwa, is also proving to be similarly unhelpful.

Why Do Swallows Fly to the Korean DMZ?

Since 1953, the 250-kilometer-long artificial boundary of the DMZ has cut through the middle of the Korean peninsula. The demilitarized buffer zone created more than seven decades ago between the two warring states often feels impenetrable and permanent. However, the DMZ is livelier and more fluid than it seems. In fact, much of the DMZ crosses water—oceans, estuaries, and rivers. A quarter of this boundary falls upon the Han River estuary (한강하구), a “neutral” zone according to the Korean Armisti

Writing, development, pre-production, casting, filming, editing, visual effects, scoring, sound, and more. The process of making a movie, especially a big, expensive movie, is a long one. According to director Gareth Edwards, who has made his share of big movies like Rogue One and Godzilla, normally it would take two and a half years from when he, the director, would be hired until the film is released in theaters.
