Freddie Prinze Jr. Signs with A3 Artists Agency for Representation

Posted on April 26, 2023 by Tom Castaneda

Freddie Prinze Jr. has new representation…

The 47-year-old part-Puerto Rican actor has signed with A3 Artists Agency for representation.

Prinze is best known for starring in such films as the Miramax rom-com She’s All That with Rachael Leigh Cook, Columbia Pictures’ slasher hit I Know What You Did Last Summer and sequel I Still Know What You Did Last Summer, which had him sharing the screen with Jennifer Love Hewitt, and Warner Bros’ Scooby-Doo films of the early 2000s.

Prinze most recently starred opposite Lucifer‘s Aimee Garcia in the Netflix holiday rom-com Christmas with You, which last year spent two weeks on Netflix’s Global Top 10 list for English-Language Films.

He’s also in recent years lent his voice to video games and family-friendly animated series like Disney XD’s Star Wars Rebels, which had him voicing Kanan Jarrus, one of the last surviving Jedi Knights.

His additional television credits include Peacock’s recent Punky Brewster revival and 24.

Prinze has also expanded of late into the podcast space, co-hosting Wrestling with Freddie on iHeartMedia’s My Cultura Network with Jeff Dye and That Was Pretty Scary, a film podcast co-hosted by Jon Lee Brody, which has the pair discussing their favorite iconic horror films.

Prinze and Hewitt entered talks to star in a new I Know What You Did Last Summer sequel for Sony earlier this year. Jennifer Kaytin Robinson is attached to direct from a script by Leah McKendrick, with producer Neal H. Moritz in talks to return, as well.

Sony Pictures Looking to Relaunch “I Know What You Did Last Summer” with Return of Freddie Prinze Jr.

Freddie Prinze Jr. is thisclose to finalizing his summer plans…

Following the successful reboot of the Scream franchise Sony Pictures is hoping to relaunch its own slasher film franchise, I Know What You Did Last Summer, which starred the 46-year-old half-Puerto Rican actor.

Jennifer Kaytin Robinson has reportedly been tapped to direct a sequel to I Know What You Did Last Summer, with Prinze Jr. and Jennifer Love Hewitt in talks to reprise their roles.

The project is in early development, according to sources, with Neal H. Moritz is in talks to return as producer and Leah McKendrick on board to write the script.

Sony had no comment on the project.

The original film follows four young friends bound by a tragic accident who are reunited when they find themselves being stalked by a hook-wielding maniac in their small seaside town.

The original was a hit and not only led to a sequel but also helped launch the careers of Hewitt, Prinze, Sarah Michelle Gellar and Ryan Phillippe. Plot details for this latest installment are unknown.

While McKendrick is penning the film, the idea for the new film came from Robinson and McKendrick, who blew away studio execs when they pitched this idea for a sequel last fall, especially given the recent success of the Scream franchise.

That film was recently relaunched with original cast members returning, and the idea of bringing back original cast members to draw in old-school fans while also adding fresh faces to relaunch the series was too good for the studio to pass up. Another big factor was the recent success of Robinson’s Netflix film Do Revenge, which was lauded for its throwbacks to late-’90s pics like Cruel Intentions and was something execs knew Robinson could tap into when developing the new story.

Fox Releases Trailer for Season 3 of Ryan Guzman’s First-Responders Drama “9-1-1”

Posted on August 16, 2019 by Tom Castaneda

Ryan Guzman is bracing for a (tidal) wave of emotions…

The first trailer for Season 3 of Fox’s first-responders drama 9-1-1, starring the 31-year-old half-Mexican American actor, has been released.

“9-1-1, what is your emergency?” As is heard at the beginning of the trailer, an emergency is the absence of choice. And the unlucky souls who are enjoying an L.A. beach day when a tsunami hits have one choice.

Run.

The clip for 9-1-1 sets the scene with parents and kids diggin’ the rays, gettin’ wet, and generally havin’ a good ol’ time on and around the Santa Monica Pier. But when the water suddenly begins to drain away from the shoreline, things turn ugly in a hurry.

And it’s all set to the ominous tones of a “Cruel Summer” cover.

Created by Ryan Murphy, Brad Falchuk and Tim Minear, the procedural explores the high-pressure experiences of police officers, firefighters, and dispatchers who are thrust into frightening, shocking and heart-stopping situations. Angela Bassett, Peter Krause and Jennifer Love Hewitt star, with Oliver Stark, Aisha Hinds, Kenneth Choi, Rockmond Dunbar and Guzman in series-regular roles.

The third season of 9-1-1 premieres at 8:00 pm on Monday, September 23.

Posted on November 24, 2011 by Tom Castaneda

This Thanksgiving week, Zoe Saldana made an effort to give back to the community…

The 33-year-old half-Dominican, half-Puerto Rican actress prepared and served Thanksgiving meals to the homeless on behalf of the Los Angeles Mission on Wednesday.

Saldana—who has served at the Los Angeles Mission several times in the past—reminded her Twitter followers that they “could feed more if you log on to http://www.feedLANow.org and donate.”

But Saldana wasn’t the only celebrity in attendance at Wednesday’s event. She was joined by Kim Kardashian and Jennifer Love Hewitt.

“Their goal is to feed 120,000 people by the end of the year!” Kardashian tweeted. “We fed so many today.”

“Every one of us can do something small that will make a huge difference to someone else,” she added.

For 75 years, the Los Angeles Mission has served the people of Skid Row, providing shelter, food, clothing and professional medical and dental services. It also offers long-term residential rehabilitation programs including education, job training/placement, transitional housing and counseling.
