"I Know What You Did Last Summer" almost worked as a phantom wave for the neo-slasher genre, hitting theaters in the wake of Wes Craven's game changer "Scream," and sneaking in just a couple of months before "Scream 2" in October of 1997. Spawning an inferior sequel, a third entry called "I'll Always Know What You Did Last Summer" with an entirely new cast, and a recently canceled Prime Video series, the original film has stayed surprisingly relevant. Now, a legacy sequel is on the way with Jennifer Love Hewitt and Freddie Prinze Jr. in talks to return. Once again, the "Last Summer" franchise is capitalizing on the resurgent success of the "Scream" series, giving genre fans even more reason to get a little nostalgic for the late '90s horror craze.

LONDON -- Former filmmaker David Puttnam has been appointed deputy chairman of Channel 4, the network announced Thursday. He replaces outgoing Barry Cox, who retires in February. Puttnam, who two years ago headed the House of Lords committee that reviewed trading terms between the major broadcasters and the independent production sector, is known to be a champion of the indie sector, on which Channel 4 is reliant for programming. He will be joined on the Channel 4 board by Internet entrepreneur Martha Lane Fox and former Financial Times chief executive Stephen Hill, who replace outgoing board members Robin Miller and Ian Ritchie. Both will officially join the board in the new year.
