I Know What You Did Last Summer Filmed in Nc
When "I Know What You Did Final Summer" began production in Southport in 1997, at that place was a grim poesy to having grisly horror unfold in such a picturesque fishing community.
On its quaint streets and rickety docks, Jennifer Dearest Hewitt, Freddie Prinze Jr., Sarah Michelle Gellar and Ryan Philippe fled a hook-wielding serial killer dead assault avenging a hit-and-run they committed the prior summer.
The coastal town, which played itself in the film, has grown in prominence since then, garnering new attention for projects like "Prophylactic Oasis" and "Under the Dome." But the love horror classic has e'er held a special place in the Cape Fearfulness, and served as an embodiment of the '90s teen slasher era.
When Sara Goodman began writing her own TV serial take on Lois Duncan'due south novel for Amazon, it was once more imperative to find a remote boondocks in which to phase some other reckoning for a grouping of friends hiding a mortiferous secret.

Only this time, information technology is the Hawaiian island of Oahu that gets to play the breathtaking function.
"I am sorry, Wilmington, that we didn't come back," Goodman said. "Simply I call back, interestingly, there is no smaller boondocks than an island, where at that place is only i way in and one way out."
In the new series (the showtime four episodes of which premiere Oct. fifteen), a pair of polar opposite twins (both played by Madison Iseman) and their friends find themselves in the aforementioned hit-and-run situation with a fateful conclusion to either tell the police or comprehend up the accident. But this fourth dimension, the victim hits a lot closer to home, making every determination fifty-fifty more gut-wrenching.
"There is a timeless quality to making a bad determination that yous regret," Goodman said. "There is something that is haunting about information technology that we live in fright of. There is that universal theme of thinking you know what you would do under whatever circumstance, just when push comes to shove, do y'all really?"
Goodman said she is a fan of the original motion-picture show, which was written by North Carolina native and "Dawson'due south Creek" creator Kevin Williamson. But that pic is a time capsule of the '90s and the horror that divers it. Goodman consciously designed her accept to exist wholly its ain and of its fourth dimension.
This new accommodation finds its danger in the public nature of our lives today, where someone can be reached at any moment by anyone. Information technology's gorier than its '90s analogue, which was virtually bloodless. The bandage is far more various and runs the spectrum of sexual identity, opening up narrative doors the original motion picture couldn't.
"Information technology'southward merely messier," she said. "I think nosotros alive in a messier time and information technology's a messier show. You don't know who the bad guy is because no i is all the way good or bad. The truth is much more malleable these days."
A strictly slasher story is too hard to sustain for eight episodes of TV, and so Goodman'southward brand of horror is more than psychological while notwithstanding cooking upwardly some inventive kills designed to take it one footstep further than the audience is expecting.
"Bloodletting is fun," Goodman said, laughing.
But information technology all comes back to location for "I Know What You Did Last Summertime," a story that relies on setting a scene as much equally delivering a scare.

The film made famous use of Southport'south Amuzu Theater, the waterfront edifice that is now Fishy Fishy Cafe and fifty-fifty staged its ain Fourth of July Parade. The production may have went to California for its cliffside beach scenes and the heart of downtown Burgaw for an iconic chase scene. Simply it'south Southport that claims the movie's ominous charm.
Goodman sees her Hawaiian setting as having just every bit much depth.
"Nosotros all think of Hawaii every bit this beautiful paradise, which information technology is," she said. "But there are all these other parts of it that we never see, in terms of the danger. Where people actually live, the impenetrable bamboo forests, and the caves and tides that are incredibly dangerous. Just like the characters, everything looks pretty on the outside and it looks like a place you want to be all the time, but it has this darkness going on underneath information technology. It felt like our perfect setting."
