Summit Hopes to Fill ‘Arena’ Seats
Alright, I know this isn’t horror, but depending on how it’s directed, it could be over-loaded with gore. Sounding like a mix between two classics, Running Man and The Warriors, Jeff Wadlow has come on to direct Arena, a sci-fi action film that he began developing with Summit a few months ago. The pic revolves around a group of modern-day soldiers transported to a shifting landscape, where they are forced to face off against the best warriors from different eras in gladitorial battle. Frosh scribes Toby Wagstaff and Darren Howell wrote the screenplay, which Summit optioned in April 2008.
The ’90s slasher franchise I Know What You Did Last Summer is headed back to the big screen with a brand new movie that’s been dated for theatrical release in Summer 2025.
The franchise will return to theaters on July 18, 2025.
Jennifer Kaytin Robinson (Do Revenge) is on board to direct the new installment in the franchise for Sony, with Leah McKendrick (M.F.A.) writing the screenplay.
We don’t yet know if the original cast will be back for the new movie, but we’ve previously heard that both Jennifer Love Hewitt and Freddie Prinze Jr. were potentially returning.
I believe they call that a “legacy sequel,” kids. Stay tuned for more.
Jim Gillespie directed the original I Know What You Did Last Summer back in 1997, written by Kevin Williamson (Scream) and based on Lois Duncan’s novel. The film spawned sequels in 1998 and 2006. Jennifer Love Hewitt and Freddie Prinze Jr. only came back for that first sequel.
In the 1997 slasher movie, “Four young friends bound by a tragic accident are reunited when they find themselves being stalked by a hook-wielding maniac in their small seaside town.”
More recently, the franchise returned with Amazon’s short-lived television series.
