Fans won't see Lola Tung and Nicholas Alexander Chavez in the new I Know What You Did Last Summer despite the pair filming a scene for the slasher sequel.
It was reported in November 2024 that the Summer I Turned Pretty actress, 22, and the Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story actor, 25, were cast in the horror movie, which hits theaters July 18. However, their roles were ultimately cut from the final film.
Director Jennifer Kaytin Robinson tells PEOPLE that Tung and Chavez's scene was intended as the opener of the movie but it wound up not fitting with the rest of the film.
"In every movie, it's best laid plans, and then you edit the movie and you put it together and you go, 'I love this in a vacuum. This is a fantastic scene. But it doesn't fit in the movie,' " says Kaytin Robinson, who also directed 2022's Do Revenge.
"It was just one of those situations where it had nothing to do with Lola and Nicholas — they are both so fantastic. I really would love to work with them again. I loved working with them. They did a fabulous job," she continues. "But in the larger tapestry of the film, it just didn't fit."
Kaytin Robinson says, "It sucks because you don't want to do that to those actors. And it sucks when you love something as a scene but that scene just doesn't work in the final cut of the film."
