“Jodie Foster tried this, and the skin-ripping serial killer answered the door.”
Jennifer Kaytin Robinson did her best to try to get Sarah Michelle Gellar to reprise the role of Helen in the upcoming I Know What You Did Last Summer film. The writer-director of the sequel tells Entertainment Weekly that she “tried relentlessly” but to no avail.
“I tried, okay? I harassed her! But she is dead,” Robinson said. “I tried to pitch some crazy s— 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.’”
The new film is slated to arrive in theaters on July 18th. Stay tuned to Horror News Network for more on I Know What You Did Last Summer.
