I’m the author of the book, and this is the first time I’ve learned the movie will be remade. (The author is always the last to know anything Hollywood does.) Although I wish I’d been informed, I couldn’t be more pleased. My book was NOT a slasher book, it was a psychological suspense novel. I’d love to see a different script writer take on this project and, hopefully, make it conform more closely to the book.
I read your book when I was a teenager! I also owned many of your other novels. I loved to read them. I’d say Killing Mr. Griffin was my favorite besides IKWYDLS. I know I Know What You Did Last Summer was nothing like a slasher book, and that’s why I wanted to include in my article that the book has no murders… Most people tend to not know that it seems. Too many movie makers these days tend to think the only way to “spruce” up a story is with adding more gore and blood to the plot. Michael Flanagan is a great director though, and his movies usually don’t feature much gore– they seem to play on creating tension in different ways.
