The director of the latest I Know What You Did Last Summer movie knows about Jennifer Love Hewitt and Freddie Prinze Jr.‘s chemistry in the new film.
Sony‘s feature reboot from director Jennifer Kaytin Robinson hit theaters over the weekend, landing in third place at the domestic box office with $12.7 million. Madelyn Cline, Chase Sui Wonders, Jonah Hauer-King, Tyriq Withers and Sarah Pidgeon round out the cast for the latest entry in the slasher franchise that kicked off with the original 1997 film of the same name.
A social media user’s post on Saturday about the film asked fellow fans whether they thought Hewitt and Prinze — who reprise their roles from the original movie and its sequel — “filmed their scenes together” in the new installment. “People are starting to notice the ‘cuts and separate shots,’” the post continued.

Robinson was quick to clear up any confusion surrounding the pair’s scenes. “They absolutely shot their scenes together. Hope this helps,” the Do Revenge filmmaker wrote, adding a heart emoji.
When the user who wrote the original post apologized and admitted to feeling embarrassed, Robinson replied, “No apology necessary! I totally get why people might think that cause of some of the coverage but they are absolutely acting off each other. It was electric!”
The new film centers on a group of five friends facing dangerous consequences after making a pact to stay silent about a tragic car accident.
In his review of the latest movie for The Hollywood Reporter, critic Frank Scheck wrote about Prinze and Hewitt, “Both are in excellent form, providing connective tissue to the original film and its sequel.”
