AceShowbiz - Sarah Michelle Gellar, known for her role on "Buffy the Vampire Slayer," recently admitted to getting "in a bit of trouble" after posting a photo from the closed set of the upcoming "I Know What You Did Last Summer" reboot.
During an appearance on "Live with Kelly and Mark", Gellar explained that she was visiting her husband Freddie Prinze Jr., who is starring in the film. While on set, she took a photo of a director's chair with the title of the movie emblazoned on it.
"I thought it would make a great picture," Gellar said. "I should have known better. They hadn't posted any pictures from the set yet, and they hadn't announced they had started filming."
Gellar's post caused a stir among fans, who speculated that her character Helen Shivers might return for the reboot. However, Gellar confirmed that Shivers remains deceased.
Despite the trouble she got into, Gellar defended her actions, saying she was excited to be on the set given the sentimental value it holds for her and Prinze Jr.
"That's the movie Freddie and I met on," she explained. "So it was really cool to bring our kids there and revisit those memories."
Gellar's Instagram post inadvertently led to the creation of an official social media page for the reboot, which had not existed before. "They had to make one after I did that," she joked.
The upcoming "I Know What You Did Last Summer" reboot, directed by Jennifer Kaytin Robinson, stars Camila Mendes, Madelyn Cline, Sarah Pidgeon, Tyriq Withers and Jonah Hauer-King. Jennifer Love Hewitt is also in talks to reprise her role from the original film. The movie is set to be released in theaters on July 18, 2025.
