'I Know What You Did Last Summer' director explains why Lola Tung and Nicholas Alexander Chavez were cut from the film

Lola Tung and Nicholas Alexander Chavez will, unfortunately, not appear in Jennifer Kaytin Robinson's I Know What You Did Last Summer, and the director is sharing why their characters didn't make the final cut. 

"It happens. You shoot something and, when you watch the scene, it doesn’t fit in the film," she explained to Variety. The actors were set to be part of the opening scene. Robinson noted their performances were "fantastic," but "it didn’t work within the film that we were creating. And when you’re trying to make something that’s bold, sometimes that happens. But they are so fantastic, so it was definitely a hard choice."

When five friends inadvertently cause a deadly car accident, they cover up their involvement and make a pact to keep it a secret rather than face the consequences. A year later, their past comes back to haunt them and they’re forced to confront a horrifying truth: someone knows what they did last summer…and is hell-bent on revenge. As one by one the friends are stalked by a killer, they discover this has happened before, and they turn to two survivors of the legendary Southport Massacre of 1997 for help.

As for how they reacted, she said, "Everybody was so professional about it. They’re so sweet, so lovely. They totally got it. Maybe they’ll make the sequel."
