Twenty-eight years after the original, I Know What You Did Last Summer is back — and so are stars Freddie Prinze Jr. and Jennifer Love Hewitt. The new film follows five friends who inadvertently cause a deadly car accident and cover it up, when a year later a stalker sends them taunting messages about their crime. Realizing that the stalker is imitating a famous serial killer, the group seeks help from the two survivors of the Southport massacre of 1997, in Prinze Jr. and Hewitt’s characters. At the Los Angeles premiere on Monday, Prinze Jr. told The Hollywood Reporter that he would…

The wait for Jennifer Love Hewitt’s return to the I Know What You Did Last Summer franchise is finally over. This Friday, for the first time in nearly three decades, Hewitt reprises her final-girl role of Julie James in Jennifer Kaytin Robinson’s I Know What You Did Last Summer (2025). The legacy sequel reintroduces Julie as a psychology professor, one who fittingly specializes in trauma. Now single, Julie is living a happily quiet life after narrowly surviving two rounds of attacks by murderous fisherman, Ben Willis (Muse Watson), in the late ‘90s. However, Julie’s past soon catches up to her…

James Gunn is feeling “incredibly grateful” for the initial box office success of Superman and the positive reception from audiences. The filmmaker and co-head of DC Studios took to Threads on Sunday to express his appreciation after the superhero blockbuster saw an estimated global debut of $217 million. “I’m incredibly grateful for your enthusiasm and kind words over the past few days,” Gunn wrote. “We’ve had a lot of ‘Super’ in Superman over the years, and I’m happy to have made a movie that focuses on the ‘man’ part of the equation – a kind person always looking out for…

When filmmaker James Gunn called his new Superman film an immigrant story, critics accused him of politicizing Superman. But you can’t politicize the truth. Superman has been an “illegal alien” for 87 years—a fact we helped America remember when we launched our 2013 campaign, Superman Is an Immigrant. Of course, we couldn’t have predicted Donald Trump—the man DC Comics literally used as their model to reboot Lex Luthor in 1986—waging war on the very immigrants Superman represents. In 2000, Luthor became president in the comics, complete with an anti-alien agenda. No one imagined the real President Trump would follow the same…

James Gunn‘s Superman has taken flight at the box office. The highly anticipated superhero tentpole, from DC Studios and Warner Bros., is on course to top Friday’s domestic box office chart with $55 million, including a record $22.5 million in Thursday previews and sneak Imax screening earlier in the week, according to early returns. Superman’s opening has been the subject of intense scrutiny. Heading into the weekend, Warners and DC remained conservative in suggesting $100 million-plus, while Hollywood’s leading tracking service predicted the pic would open to $130 million. It appears DC and Warners were right to manage expectations. Despite the…

Guy Ritchie has exited as the director for Amazon MGM Studios‘ sequel movie Road House 2.

Film directors, like the characters they depict on screen, can sometimes learn from their mistakes. This is certainly the case with French DP turned filmmaker Laurent Slama, whose new feature A Second Life vastly improves on his Netflix debut Paris Is Us, which he made under the pseudonym Elisabeth Vogler. Both movies showcase similar styles and premises, following a young woman around Paris and employing tons of real people and locations, clearly without full authorization from the city. A Second Life The Bottom Line Paris Belongs to Her. Venue: Karlovy Vary International Film Festival (Special Screenings)Cast: Agathe Rousselle, Alex Lawther,…

Navigating a familiar subject with delicacy and an eye for emotional detail, Czech writer-director Ondrej Provaznik delivers a subtly powerful adolescent drama with his latest feature, Broken Voices (Sbormistr). Inspired by the true story of the Bambini di Praga (Children of Prague), a renowned Czech youth chorus whose director was convicted in 2008 of sexually abusing dozens of teenage girls, the film follows a rather foreseeable path but does so with plenty of honesty and heart. After premiering in competition at Karlovy Vary, it could echo across more festivals as well as arthouse distributors throughout Europe. Broken Voices The Bottom…

Dakota Johnson (Fifty Shades of Grey, Black Mess, Suspiria) got feted at the Karlovy Vary International Film Festival (KVIFF) on Saturday as the audience for one of her latest movies showered the Hollywood star with enthusiastic applause and love, and she received one of the Czech fest’s honors. On a summer-y and warm evening of day three of the 59th edition of the festival in the spa town, its streets were full of activity, with people rushing to and from movie screenings, grooving along to concerts, and eating and drinking in outdoor restaurants and bars. Meanwhile, inside a cinema in the Grandhotel Pupp, which James…
