I'm Sick of What You Did Last Summer...
An eye for an eye is the horror terms for a favor for a favor - and according to our scooper named Creepmaster, Jennifer Love Hewitt may be making a pact with the devil...another I Know What You Did Last Summer? Oh god please no. Read on for the scoop and remember to take this strictly as rumor until confirmed by official sources...
The 'Creepmaster' writes in:
Hey Mr D, I'm from Lake Gregory in Crestline, and work at the local furniture store. Guess who we had come in? Jennifer Love Hewitt. She's gorgeous - and courteous, and in a cute sort of a way, she's clumsy (her cards fell out when she went to pay). She has been in before apparently, but first time I've been on when she's come in.
Anyway, she was gracious, and I crapped on about how I enjoyed the I Know What You Did Last Summer movies and Can't Hardly Wait. I said it's a pity that there's no more 'Last Summer' movies, because the last one left it open for one, and she said 'well, actually' and smiled.
I got all hyped when she said there's talks, and that she loves that character and those movies and said "I'll hope you'll come and see it if it happens".
She then said something about if enough people see her in something called "Magix 7" or "Special 7" then she's happy to return favours with another "Last Summer".

Hewitt Wants To Be A Mouseketeer
November's issue of Cosmopolitan magazine has landed an interesting scoop - former "Party of Five" star turned film actress Jennifer Love Hewitt wants to do a movie based on the life of Annette Funicello, the Mouseketeer.
"It would be an absolute honor to play someone like Annette. She's such an entertainer, she's an inspiration...and someone so many of today's youth have probably never even heard of. We're talking about it. We're not going to get going on it until we've got a killer script though. I'm looking forward to the opportunity" says the starlet who was last seen in this year's "Garfield".
And any more "I Know What You Did Last Summer" movies? "At one stage we were doing one, then they were doing one without us, then it was going to be a telemovie and last I heard they might want us back for a third one, to wrap it all up. They're a lot of fun to do, and not as easy as they look".

Columbia Hooks Third "Summer"
Ripped to shreds and left for dead by the genre-destroying Scary Movie, everyone's favorite hook-wielding murderer is about to make a miraculous comeback.
Columbia Pictures confirmed Monday that it is making a third installment in the I Know What You Did Last Summer series.
However, according to studio sources, the new entry into the franchise--which was originally conceived by Scream writer Kevin Williamson and starred Teen People pinups like Jennifer Love Hewitt, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Freddie Prinze Jr., Ryan Phillippe and Brandy--will be drastically revamped.
Although I Know 3 will stick to the same premise as its predecessors--a group of teens caught in a moral predicament that leads to deadly results--it will feature an all-new cast.
Plot details are scarce, but Daily Variety says the movie will take on a Deliverance feel by introducing "totally different characters" who are being hunted by a tormentor "in the wilderness while on a sort of Outward Bound expedition."
And in an unusual move, the sequel will also undergo a change in tone. Given Scary Movie's success at parodying the Scream and I Know series, producers are reportedly considering removing the comedy and camp elements of the first two, and getting back to the traditional roots of the teen horror genre with more of a morality tale (see: Halloween, Friday the 13th and the Nightmare on Elm Street series).
Coming out after Williamson's similar-themed and enormously popular Scream, 1997's original I Know centered on a group of teens (Hewitt, Gellar, Prinze and Phillippe) who cover up a hit-and-run accident and, one year later, are killed off one by one by a hook-wielding killer who apparently knows their secret. The film grossed over $72 million domestically, while its 1998 sequel, I Still Know What You Did Last Summer (with Brandy and Mekhi Phifer joining Hewitt and Prinze battling the hooked killer at a remote resort), ratcheted up $40 million.
Producers at first had no plans to do a third sequel, but were won over by a pitch from scribe Simon Davis Barry, who cowrote the upcoming Wesley Snipes thriller, The Art of War.
Barry, who's signed to pen the third Summer, has another script, The 51st State, starring James Bond baddie Robert Carlyle and Samuel L. Jackson, slated to go into production in the fall.

Col Pix Will Slay'em With Third 'Summer'
War' scribe Barry to pen latest installment...
HOLLYWOOD -- From serial killer to killer serial: "I Know What You Did Last Summer" will make a third appearance at Columbia Pictures, this time with Simon Davis Barry scripting the action.
Barry, a London-born cameraman turned scribe, most recently co-wrote "The Art of War," toplining Wesley Snipes. He also penned the Samuel L. Jackson starrer "The 51st State," for Artist Production Group and Alliance Atlantis, and the actioner "Morton Orwell," for Seven Arts Intl.
Col-based Original Film's Neal Moritz and exec veepee of production Stokely Chaffin, along with Erik Feig, are producing "Summer 3."
The franchise's progenitor, "I Know What You Did Last Summer" grossed over $72 million domestically in 1997, while 1998's follow-up "I Still Know What You Did Last Summer" (1998) grossed $40 million domestically for distribs Columbia Pictures and Mandalay Pictures.
Details are sketchy on the plot of the third installment, but an insider maintains that it will introduce "totally different characters" who'll contend with an tormentor "in the wilderness while on a sort of 'Outward Bound' expedition."
Barry was repped in the deal by the Gersh Agency.

The following was an unsubstantiated rumour from an outdated fansite:
I Know What You Did Last Summer 3, may not be in advanced state yet. Muse Watson (the slicker-man with the hook), says "There has been no talk of a third one coming from anyone who would make it. There has been alot of talk on the net. If they do make one, I would consider it, if Love were willing and they had a good script...There was a story floating around about Love being an attorney in New Orleans and I make her life miserable, by killing her witnesses and making it look like she killed them. I think that one would work". (Source)
This was apparently alluded to in an excerpt from Entertainment Weekly:
'When Summer producer Neal Moritz was deciding between two potential story lines for the sequel, he went to his star [JLH] for help with the decision [the loser idea was saved for the sequel’s sequel].'
September 1999
The following interview excerpt comes from the September 1999 issue of the Australian magazine Big Hit:
Big Hit: So have the producers of I Still Know What You Did Last Summer figured out how Ray survives?
Freddie Prinze Jr.: Pfffttt. I’m going to tell you this right now: Ray didn’t survive nothing. I ain’t coming back for another one. I was contracted for two, and that’s all I’m going to do.

I Know What You Did Last Summer 3
Jennifer Love Hewitt is in the UK at the moment, touring the country promoting that wet t-shirt extravaganza "I Still Know...", and during an interview with 'The Times' newspaper she said something quite intriguing about the possibility of another "I Know.." film.
Hewitt: "Well, there will be a third one. We're going to do that, to finally finish it off. After that I think it will be the end of these teenage horror film, for the next decade. There are just so many out there. We go through crazes like this. About ten years ago, there was Freddy, Halloween movies. The next horror craze will be interesting". Thanks to 'Jane'.
