Brandy Says Filming ‘I Still Know What You Did Last Summer’ Was ‘Taxing’

I Still Know What You Did Last Summer was Brandy’s first feature film and one of the biggest movies of 1998. But the renowned vocalist did not have the best experience during filming.

Speaking with Entertainment Tonight, Brandy said she “didn’t have the best experience” making the film “because of the weather and all of that.” The movie was filmed at several locations in Los Angeles and Jalisco, Mexico, to mimic the Bahamas.

“We were in a space where… it was just bugs and this and that. I’m like, ‘We gotta film this somewhere else,” Brandy said.

Playing Julie’s (Jennifer Love Hewitt) college friend Karla Wilson, Brandy’s character survived the events to the end of the film, which “was by design.”

“That was in the contract,” Brandy said. “Black people don’t last in horror films, so I had to put that in the contract.”

Brandy said she was eager to do the film because she wanted to cuss in a movie.

“The reason why I wanted to do I Still Know What You Did Last Summer is because I wanted to curse in a film,” she explained.

In addition to remembering the film, it was recently announced that Brandy & Monica will be co-headlining their first tour together.

The 24-city arena tour, produced by Black Promoters Collective, “brings two of R&B’s most influential voices together on stage more than 25 years after their era-defining duet “The Boy Is Mine” ruled the Billboard Hot 100 for 13 straight weeks.”

Brandy & Monica will be joined by Kelly Rowland, Muni Long, and rising star Jamal Roberts as supporting acts.
