 What is going on guys welcome back to the channel critical overload here So most of this video is going to be me discussing I know what you did last summer three most specifically related to Julie James Roll in the upcoming. I know what you did last summer three. Yes. I know there's a third movie already But I'm gonna keep calling this three cuz I it seems to be bugging some people who watch my video So I'm just gonna keep calling this three because I believe this is the true third movie despite it being the fourth But our discussion will be based on Leia McKendrick's comments with Perry from Collider today This is important because it pertains to a tweet. Sinisterf put out not too long ago Where previously tweeted that the script for the film isn't ready, which could of course be ready by now but the pitch that was Very impressive to the Sony execs when the film got announced back in 2023 of last year last February The pitch apparently cannot work without Julie according to Sinisterf I propose the question of why in my video and of course some not thinking outside the box immediately jump to the Stereotypical the obvious all because she was the OG final girl. That's a given But what about this pitch is making Julie a necessity? Besides just checking the box of we got the OG final girl back Well, now we have an idea it seems Leia went into her being protective of this IP during these comments with Perry She talked about the director gin and then she switched into discussing some plot details So I'm gonna talk about all of that right now. She says so I kind of said I'm really burnt out on the studio big IP They had killed my grease prequel at Paramount and I was like I can't build from the ground up over many years For an IP that I don't have ownership of at all and then my team called me and they're like So we know you say you didn't want to do any of that anymore, but they are thinking of bringing back I know what you did last summer and I was like maybe one more The reason I was able to go in is because it was a Sony film I have a relationship with Sony and the producers. I also had a relationship with And I found out it was gin that was gonna be directing it and more than anything I thought because my love is so deep for I know what you did last summer. I have to protect it I must protect it. I can't let this be like cheesy and a cash grab Nothing anybody was gonna make it that but you would get it Perry when it's like They're rebooting something you love so deeply from your childhood You're like, I know how we can do this and not make it cheesy and it can stay true to the mythology And we can bring back the OG's and it can be a culmination. You have all these ideas So I met with Jen Jen is cool Jen is so smart Jen is just like down to try some edgy cool ass shit And I was like I'm gonna give this my best shot and I pitched all they told me was they were like We need to know the accident the events that kick it off and know who the killer is Because they knew that if I had to do a whole fleshed out process of pitching I was probably just not gonna do it because my heart had been so broken by the reboot game But when they told me that I was like, I know what I'm gonna do and no spoilers But I will say that I think if you're an OG fan like me and you I think you're gonna be happy I think you're going to get it at its core Now this is her getting into the plot details and how Julie seems to be very relevant in a necessity to this pitch At its core I think it really reckons with some big ideas about hero and villain right and wrong how your Skeletons come back to haunt you and in the age of the internet and the age where fame is such a revered concept The creation of tiktok and social media who is Julie James in a world where there are no secrets anymore I already feel like I'm saying too much, but I think at its core if you watch the original I don't know if you watched it recently. I obviously watch it eight million times. I'm working on it But it's fun. It's just a popcorn while ride. It's campy at times Jennifer. Love you It is so hot Freddie Prince Jr. Is so hot Sarah Michelle Geller Ryan Felipe. They're so gorgeous It's like beautiful people behaving badly. You just can't get enough of it. There's a lot of that in this film So the comments there obviously about social media are what's making this interesting and then also how she says Who is Julie James in a world where there are no secrets anymore? So I'm going what is going to happen with Julie? That's what I want to discuss. Are we going to see a story in which what happened with with Ben Willis is going to be some type of legend in the town some type of Event that has now grown into a viral sensation because of Gen Z Julie who never wanted to be famous for such an it such an event has acquired a lot of fame and Then there's also maybe some attention on Julie that she again didn't want and now it's not going to be something for Ben Willis Obviously because he's dead But she does something brand new and then that comes back to bite her Because now somebody else is gonna don the fisherman costume to stalk her and go after her the same way Ben Willis did in those first two films That's what I was leaning on. That's the only plausible scenario. I can see playing out now Julie has acquired some sort of attention in the public eye some sort of fame because of what happened all those years ago with her friends because in that town Whoever the new kids are and the current climate that we live in They've turned it into some sort of viral sensation which has led to Julie getting a lot of attention in the public eye She has no privacy and there's some drastic event that occurs that sparks a new killer to arrive and Maybe they themselves are connected to the Ben Willis incident I don't know or maybe something about the Ben Willis incident has impacted their life And now this new event that Julie finds herself at the center of maybe with her kids too is also Going to be something related to their motives. That's what I was thinking of as the plausible outcome But the mention of social media to me does sound like they are borrowing Some ideas from what we didn't get in the urban legend reboot that screams is gonna do We'll just have to wait and see. I just thought it was very interesting for them to mention social media and TikTok and Who is Julie James in a world where? There are no secrets anymore. I Would imagine again that we're just going to be exploring new secrets that Julie has some new event And that's what's gonna spawn it because you can't do Ben Willis anymore since he's dead What do you guys think that new event will be do you think I'm on the right track? What do you think is going to go down with Julie James in I know what you did last summer 3 and why she will Be so important. There's some sort of event that has to kick it off as they highlighted in their comments But what is it? I would guess going off of these mentions of social media that it again will pertain to some sort of Tragic incident that Julie finds herself at the center of that is a reminiscent reminder Or very reminiscent of what happened with her and her friends all those years ago And maybe her kids are involved now and the person that is angry about this Just dons the fisherman costume to taunt Julie as a reminder of you've already done this before and this is a reminder to you of Who came after you in the past and I just want to really traumatize you now by reminding you of you've already been in the scenario like this That's the only reason I can see the fisherman costume reappearing granted I wouldn't necessarily to be too upset if they ditched it, but I could see the killer donning the costume just to fuck with Julie Or even better What if like I was referencing earlier in the video the costume itself the fisherman is very popular in that North Carolina town now It's just grown into this popular thing people wear it all the time around Halloween People prank play pranks on each other wearing the costume It's just this viral sensation and that's the justification as to why the costume is still being used in the story That's the that's the easiest way to do it if you're gonna bring in social media The the costume itself is very popular in the town because of what happened all those years ago with Julie and her friends And you actually are drawing a bit of inspiration from Scream and the stab franchise and how that popularized the ghostface costume So I like that let me know what you guys think about this down in the comment section below if you haven't already Of course make sure you subscribe turn on post notification in this video in the description I'll have links on my social media accounts I am on Facebook Twitter and Instagram you can message me there to let me know If there's any movies news or reviews you let me to cover in the future and with all that in mind guys I will see you in the next video
