After recently helming the splashy* “Aquaman” film, James Wan will be directing Amazon’s “I Know What You Did Last Summer” TV series remake, Deadline reports. The project is branded as a “YA horror series,” with “John Wick: Chapter 3 — Parabellum” co–writer Shay Hatten attached to pen the script, according to the outlet. Additional details have not been released at this time. The series reimagines the 1997 teen slasher film that starred Jennifer Love Hewitt, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Ryan Phillippe, and Freddie Prinze Jr. Jim Gillespie directed the original film. Of course, the Amazon series won’t be the first time Wan enters into the horror world. The Malaysian-born director has helmed a number of scary classics like “Saw,” “Insidious,” and 2013’s “The Conjuring,” as well as their respective follow-up films. Most recently, Wan was attached to produce the “Mortal Kombat” movie, which starts filming later this year in Australia. He is also directing the pilot episode of Netflix’s “The Magic Order,” a series following the families of magicians sworn* to protect our world. (SD-Agencies) |
