While Freddie Prinze Jr. promotes horror movie podcast “That Was Pretty Scary,” he’s dishing on the drama of filming “I Know What You Did Last Summer.”
Freddie Prinze Jr. knows what the director did that summer.
While promoting the March release of his new horror movie podcast, “That Was Pretty Scary,” Prinze Jr. sat down with TooFab to dish on the making of one of his most notable films, the 1997 teen slasher flick “I Know What You Did Last Summer.”
Prinze Jr., who co-hosts the podcast with filmmaker Jon Lee Brody, revealed that his on-set experience filming “I Know What You Did Last Summer” was, well, kind of scary.
“The director did not want me in this movie and made it clear all the time,” Prinze Jr. said on the podcast episode. “I needed a guide. I needed a director. I needed direction, and he was not trying to give it.”
According to Prinze Jr., Jim Gillespie, who directed the film, had his heart set on “Clueless” actor Jeremy Sisto to play the role of Ray Bronson, but the studio and screenwriter Kevin Williamson saw something in Prinze Jr.
