A social media user’s post on Saturday asked fellow fans whether they thought Hewitt and Prinze — who reprise their roles from the original movie and its sequel — “filmed their scenes together” in the 2025 installment. “People are starting to notice the ‘cuts and separate shots,'” the post continued.

Robinson was quick to clear up any confusion surrounding the pair’s scenes. “They absolutely shot their scenes together. Hope this helps,” the Do Revenge filmmaker wrote, adding a heart emoji.

When the user who wrote the original post apologized and admitted to feeling embarrassed, Robinson replied, “No apology necessary! I totally get why people might think that cause of some of the coverage but they are absolutely acting off each other. It was electric!”

The new film centers on a group of five friends facing dangerous consequences after making a pact to stay silent about a tragic car accident.
