Freddie Prinze Jr. is “motivated” to return for the sequel I know what you did last summer.
The 48-year-old actor played Ray Bronson in the 1997 horror film and is optimistic about his return in the reboot, which is set for release in 2025.
Freddie said Us Weekly: “Nothing is guaranteed until there’s ink on the paper, until the contract is signed, but I’m definitely talking to them. And if we can make it work — and I know they want to make it work — then we’ll try to make it work. But we have to make sure that everyone’s schedules fit together.”
“Everyone has to be happy with the script. I knew Jen Robinson, the director (of the reboot), and I really like Jen Robinson as a director and as a person. I think people like her are the future of this business. So there are a lot of good things that make me want to do the movie… I’m motivated, I know they’re motivated. I know both sides are trying to make it work. And I hope we do.”

It was reported last year that Prinze and Jennifer Love Hewitt were being lined up to star in the reboot alongside new cast members Camila Mendes, Madelyn Cline, Sarah Pidgeon, Tyriq Withers and Jonah Hauer-King.
The original film starred Hewitt and Prinze Jr. alongside Sarah Michelle Gellar, Johnny Galecki, Ryan Phillippe and Bridgette Wilson Sampras.
The story follows a group of teenagers who accidentally kill a man on their high school graduation night and they try to cover up the incident.
However, a year later, they find themselves being stalked by a hook-wielding killer.
