James Wan is on board to produce a small screen version of I Know What You Did Last Summer that Amazon recently ordered to series, and today a director has been hired.
Variety reports that Craig Macneill (The Boy, “Channel Zero: Candle Cove,” Lizzie, “Castle Rock,” “Chilling Adventures of Sabrina,” “NOS4A2”) will direct the show’s pilot episode.
THR had reported that Sara Goodman (Preacher, Gossip Girl) is writing and executive producing the series for Amazon Studios and Sony Pictures TV, and that “the show will share a premise with the movie, in which a group of teenagers is stalked by a killer a year after a fatal accident on their graduation night, but put a modern spin on the material.”
“We are thrilled to have I Know What You Did Last Summer with our incredible partners at Amazon Studios,” said Sony Pictures TV Studios co-president Jason Clodfelter. “Neal Moritz and Original Film’s development consistently fires on all cylinders and that is proven once again with Sara Goodman’s contemporary and pulsating character weaving suspense thriller.”
Wan is producing through Atomic Monster, with Rob Hackett and Michael Clear.
The Jim Gillespie-directed franchise-starter I Know What You Did Last Summer was released in 1997, written by Kevin Williamson and based on Lois Duncan’s 1973 novel. The hit slasher movie was followed by two sequels: I Still Know What You Did Last Summer in 1998 and the direct-to-video I’ll Always Know What You Did Last Summer in 2006.
