In a recent sit-down with Variety, Jennifer Love Hewitt commented on her return status for the I Know What You Did Last Summer sequel. Bottom line: she's close to sealing the deal.
I will say it is truly such an honor, at 45, to even be invited back. To be thought of in that way, to not just move on to the newer, better, younger versions, but [to be offered] to come back and play that part is really cool. We’re trying really hard to make it work. We’re so close, guys! I promise I’ll make a fun announcement, and it’ll be amazing.
But I think that a big part of the reason we’ve taken a minute is I don’t want to just be like, “Oh, there’s the ghost of ’90s past for five seconds in the movie.” I want to have her come back, be there for a reason, play a real part, and show the audience who she’s become 27 years later. I think the scariest thing about the movie will probably be people seeing me as 45, since they saw me last time at 21. They might not even need to do anything else in the film — just do a real closeup with no filter, and there you go! But I’m really excited and really honored, and just fingers crossed that everything falls into place.
