I Know What You Did Last Summer trailer: The Southport Massacre is upon us again
Not just in India, but even in the West, it is the season of re-releases and reboots. The latest to join this list is the popular 1990s slasher franchise, I Know What You Did Last Summer. The 2025 reboot is helmed by Jennifer Kaytin Robinson, and stars Madelyn Cline, Sarah Pidgeon, Tyriq Withers, Jonah Hauer-King, Chase Sui Wonders, and the cast of the OG film — Jennifer Love Hewitt and Freddie Prince Jr.
The makers released the trailer of the film, which centres around a new set of friends, who are involved in a pact of no return. A pact that follows a car accident, and well, most of us who have seen the original two films know what will happen. Interestingly, the makers have pegged this as a proper reboot-sequel with the 2025 installment having a strong connect with the happenings of the Southport Massacre of 1997.
As Freddie's character says in the trailer, 'This isn't the first time there's been violence like this in Southport.' What follows is the establishment of the new set of youngsters, and the known presence of evil with a hook as a hand, and newer weapons at its disposal. And the trailer wonderfully culminates with Jennifer asking a few of them trying to find answers to the evil coming after them. 'I just have one question. What did you do last summer?'
The gore isn't dialled down, and with newer people at the helm of things, one can rest assured that this could just be the nostalgic train that stops at all the required stations for the OG audience and the new-gen audience.
I Know What You Did Last Summer is set to hit the screens on July 18.

The Waterfront filming locations: Where the Netflix NC drama was shot
The Waterfront is Netflix's latest addition to its catalogue of crime thrillers. Directed and created by Kevin Williamson, the show is closely tied to anecdotal incidents from his own childhood. Considering the deeply personal nature of this project, it's no wonder that Williamson chose to return to a location he's all too familiar with and comfortable in: North Carolina. The Waterfront, directed by Kevin Williamson, is a Netflix crime thriller that reflects his childhood in North Carolina. (Netflix) ALSO READ| What to watch on streaming? 10 new shows to catch on Netflix, Prime Video, Apple TV+ this weekend Although not a do-or-done location, there's no doubt that North Carolina has been a repetitive favorite of Williamson in his 30-year career trajectory. Having previously directed iconic pieces of pop culture history such as Dawson's Creek, I Know What You Did Last Summer, and the fifth Scream movie, Wilmington (a small town in North Carolina) is the common string tying these films and shows together. Since The Waterfront is a heavily location-dependent story, North Carolina turned out to provide the perfect backdrop for Williamson's fictional town of Havenport. Along with Wilmington, multiple locations in Southport have also been used for filming. 'I grew up in North Carolina, as you know, in a very, very small town, very much Southport, where we filmed this show,' Williamson said to Screen Rant. The Waterfront plot The Waterfront tells the story of a family patriarch who struggles to maintain his family ties via his fishing and restaurant business and ultimately ends up resorting to smuggling drugs to make ends meet. This is a direct reflection of Williamson's childhood where his father, whom he considers to be 'the greatest man alive', was a fisherman who failed to make ends meet and was subsequently imprisoned for drug trafficking.

What did Livvy Dunne say about Madelyn Cline? Sexually charged joke sparks backlash
Social media was sent into overdrive on Friday when LSU gymnast and social media star Livvy Dunne made an NSFW comment online, alluding to both herself and actress Madelyn Cline in a now-viral post. Livvy Dunne, the LSU gymnast, caused a stir online with a surprising comment about herself and actress Madelyn Cline.(Getty Images via AFP/AP) Dunne, a Sports Illustrated Swimsuit featured, kept things light, polished and playful on social media, yet. However, it all started when an X (formerly Twitter) user made a joke comparing the upcoming College World Series matchup between LSU and Coastal Carolina to a showdown: 'Madelyn Cline vs Livvy Dunne Bowl', a nod to Cline's brief time at Coastal Carolina and Dunne's athletic fame at LSU.

For someone with Dunne's typically wholesome brand, the reply was shocking. Some fans were in disbelief. One commented, 'Had to check three times that this wasn't a parody account,' while someone else questioned, 'She get hacked???' 'Ew you're not hot anymore,' another commented.

28 Years Later ends, sequel The Bone Temple officially announced
So, 28 Years Later dropped like a cinematic grenade—and if you thought the carnage, grief, and gore were intense, buckle in. This film is just the first beat in what is shaping up to be an unhinged trilogy revival, with The Bone Temple already waiting in the wings to blow minds (and potentially guts). From family feels to full-blown cult vibes: The saga isn't over Set 28 years after the original nightmare, the UK is now a no-go zone, abandoned and sealed off like a plague-ridden time capsule. Amid this horror, Jamie (Aaron Taylor-Johnson), Isla (Jodie Comer), and their son Spike (Alfie Williams) are vibing on a tidal island, until a cheeky trip to the mainland leads to infected chaos, a raging Alpha zombie, and some truly devastating consequences. But the real twist? It is not just about survival. It is about legacy, grief, and how a child tries to save his mother in a world where science has long given up. Enter: The Bone Temple. Yes, it is exactly what it sounds like. A temple made of skulls, a cult leader in velvet & a baby named Isla The Bone Temple, where Spike ends up with his dying mother, is not some twisted death cult lair—it is a beautiful, horrific shrine where remains are honoured. Dr. Ian Kelson (played by Ralph Fiennes in full sorrow-core) helps Spike say goodbye to his mum in the most haunting way: by placing her skull in the temple's most sacred spot. And just when you think it is over, Spike leaves baby Isla behind, grabs his gear, and heads out to find himself. Then boom, cult leader energy crashes in. A bleach-blond Jack O'Connell struts in as 'Sir Jimmy Crystal,' dripping in bling and chaos. He and his savage gang murder zombies like they are playing a video game, all while rocking purple velour fits. Iconic. Turns out, Jimmy watched his dad get eaten during the OG outbreak. His origin story? Dark. His future? Front and centre in The Bone Temple, where Spike and his grief-stricken dad are set for one hell of a showdown. Filmmaker Nia DaCosta described the trilogy's themes like this: film one is about family, film two is evil, and film three? Redemption. Oh, we are ready.
