Freddie Prinze Jr. was mentioned as being “in talks” to join the planned reboot of I Know What You Did Last Summer, but he had a different story about his experience with the project.
The 47-year-old star appeared in the 1997 original movie and a sequel that was released the following year.
Both he and co-star Jennifer Love Hewitt were said to be discussing returning for the new movie when it was announced last month. However, Freddie said that he didn’t even learn about the planned reboot until after the news broke.
He opened up about the project in a new interview.

“I have been offered nothing, nothing. They just said that to get people excited,” Freddie told TooFab recently. “I haven’t spoken to anyone at their company, my agents haven’t received an offer from them whatsoever.”
The actor said that he spoke to the director after the news broke and asked what was going on. “And she said, ‘Let me pitch you the idea.’ So she’s spoken to me about the idea, but I haven’t said yes, I haven’t received an offer,” he continued.
Is he interested in joining the project? Freddie hinted at what he needs to agree to any project now.
“I’m only gonna do things that I like and work with people that I like and there’s not gonna be any wiggle room this time around,” he said.
He also shared that he thought the reboot should be “definitely based in reality” instead of telling a supernatural story.
“I wouldn’t want to see someone come back to life,” he continued. “I don’t like that, it just makes me think of old ’80s movies like Soapdish.”
