Sarah Michelle Gellar and Jennifer Love Hewitt
Cover ImagesSarah Michelle Gellar clears the air—sort of—about her awkward reaction to Jennifer Love Hewitt join the I Know What You Did Last Summer reboot.
Gellar, 47, raised eyebrows on Wednesday, December 11, when she made a strange face after being asked if Hewitt, 45, will be back for the highly anticipated reboot. “I have nothing to do with that,” Gillar said Additional on the Dexter: Original Sin red carpet, threw her hands up in the air and then walked away.
Although some fans think Gellar is a little out of the loop – she is not in the reboot after her character was killed off in the 1997 original – others claimed it was a jab at Hewitt. (There were rumors in the past that Hewitt and Gellar had a falling out on the ’90s set.)
Meanwhile, Gellar claimed via her Instagram Story on Friday, December 13, that she made the face after realizing there was a non-disclosure agreement for the film – in other words, she shouldn’t be talking about casting.
“Please note: this deer-in-the-headlights reaction is perfect for when you’re excited to see so many old friends in one project but have already stupidly forgotten what an NDA means once this month,” he wrote alongside a photo of a director’s chair on set, and alluding to a previous faux pas.
Geler accidentally shared the same photo when she visited her husband, Freddie Prinze Jr.on set in November.

“It’s never too late to go back. Julie James returns,” Hewitt wrote via Instagram on Friday. “I know what you’ll be doing next summer! @IKnowWhatYouDidLastSummerMovie.”
Lights, camera, acrimony? Freddie Prinze Jr claimed that I Know What You Did Last Summer director Jim Gillespie didn’t want him in the 1997 film – and he had no problem telling him so. “There was no passive aggression, which I hate. He was very direct (with) the fact, ‘I don’t want you in this (…)
Gellar then reposted Hewitt’s announcement via her own Instagram Stories.

“I was 18. They didn’t take script notes from me. All of us were in that experience together, you know, showing all and everything. And I’m rooting for her and Freddie,” Hewitt said during Tuesday’s episode, denying that she basically had the power to fire Gellar. “I think it’s the coolest thing in the world that they’ve been married for 100 years and have kids. It’s, like, adorable. So it’s been really funny to see all these things.”
