Lola Tung and Nicholas Alexander Chavez were initially cast and filmed scenes for the new film 'I Know What You Did Last Summer,' including the opening scene. However, director Jennifer Kaytin Robinson confirmed that their scenes were cut from the final version due to narrative reasons and the scenes not fitting the overall film. Robinson emphasized that the decision was unrelated to the actors' performances, describing both as fantastic. The removal of their roles was part of the natural editing process to ensure the film's cohesion, and it was clarified that external factors such as 'The Fisherman' were not involved in the decision.
