Did you know

  • Trivia
    Filmed a short "trailer" for the then unproduced I Know What You Did Last Summer (1997) to producer Neal H. Moritz. Moritz was impressed but the directing job had already gone to Jim Gillespie. The producer, however, kept Blanks in mind for his later project Urban Legend (1998).
