The director of the slasher reboot says the decision to cut the actors’ scene “sucks”, but was a necessary one.

I Know What You Did Last Summer is slick, occasionally self-aware, and made by people who get what made the original tick—even if they can’t quite replicate it

Lola Tung and Nicholas Alexander Chavez have been cut from I Know What You Did Last Summer, a disappointing update that director Jennifer Kaytin Robinson just confirmed in an interview with People. Apparently, Lola and Nicholas' scene was intended to be the opening of the slasher film, but it didn't "fit" in.

Director Jennifer Kaytin Robinson confirmed at the horror slasher's Los Angeles premiere on Monday that Tung and Chavez both had a scene at the opening of the film, but she made the "hard choice" to slash that sequence.
