MUMBAI: Freddie Prinze Jr. is excited to reunite with his I Know What You Did Last Summer co-star, Jennifer Love Hewitt for the new sequel. In the new installment, Prinze reprises his role as Ray Robinson while Jennifer is back as Julie James, after they first appeared in 1997's hit slasher of the same name.
"Whatever a high school union feels like, that's what it felt like," Prinze tells PEOPLE about reuniting with Hewitt in their decades-old roles. "You have no idea what's changed, what's the same. You're excited to show what you think you're better at, you know what I mean? You hope they notice it. It was all those things. I didn't have any reason not to trust her. I know how much this character means to her. She puts everything into this girl and always has since the first movie."
Prinze thinks his work with Hewitt in this new sequel is their best yet together. "I know when we got together, they're the best scenes that we've put on camera together, of any of the three movies. I'm really proud of the work that Love and I got to do on screen. I think it's the best work we've done in all three of the movies that we did together. And I don't think it's close."
Prinze noted that returning to the roles and a tight filming schedule had to have them trust each other, adding, “I didn’t have any reason not to trust her. I know how much this character means to her. She puts everything into this girl and always has since the first movie.”
I Know What You Did Last Summer is scheduled for release in theaters on July 18 in English and Hindi. Other actors in the sequel include Madelyn Cline, Chase Sui Wonders, Jonah Hauer-King, Tyriq Withers, Sarah Pidgeon, Billy Campbell, Gabbriette Bechtel, Austin Nichols, Nicholas Alexander Chavez, and more.
