JessieHOST
C- uh," reprising her role of, as Carla Wilson from 1998's I Still Know What You Did Last Summer.
TravisHOST
I mean, she would kinda have to with the way that they ended this movie.
JessieHOST
You can't tease Brandy Norwood for all of the '90s kids out there that loved her in I Still Know What You Did Last Summer-

Deona HustleHOST
that's nice I love that yeah I didn't know she's mentioned a lot of people throughout her journey I know she's done some stuff with Erykah Badu in the past and they had like a small rift back in the day and they fixed it fixed it up and cleared that air too but I wasn't expecting her to mention Steve Harvey at all so shout out to him for doing that because you know I mentioned this several times on the show I love Jill Scott me too of course Brandi Norwood is one of those people I want to interview but when I tell you I love Jill Scott

Will FriedleHOST
It has been obviously re-aired numerous times, first on Valentine's Day in 1999, then in 2017 for its 20th anniversary.
Will FriedleHOST
That night, the network also aired Cinderella-themed episodes of Brandy's own sitcom Moesha and Sister, Sister to celebrate the premiere.
Will FriedleHOST
And then just back in 2022 it was aired again, this time, makes us feel old, for the 25th anniversary, and it followed a special 20/20 episode reuniting the cast and crew.
Will FriedleHOST
Very cool.
Will FriedleHOST
But this was their first Disney project, and actually their first project ever as a production company.
Will FriedleHOST
Okay, so it's worth explaining that when this version was first developed for CBS, it was 1993, and Whitney Houston herself was set to star.
Will FriedleHOST
But by the time it was finally green-lit by Disney, she believed that she was too old for the role, and in turn, the decision to cast a young R&B superstar by the name of Brandy would make her the first Black actress to portray Cinderella on the screen.
Will FriedleHOST
Sort of, and we're gonna get to that shortly.
Briony BenjaminHOST
And he called up David Foster who's like a very famous music producer who was working on it.
Briony BenjaminHOST
Brandy, fun fact, David Foster's two girls, do you know who they are? Yes.
Molly BenjaminHOST
They're the sisters that do the podcast.
Molly BenjaminHOST
And the TV show Nobody Wants This.
Ken TalbotHOST
I didn't even know Robert Eggers had brothers.
Ken TalbotHOST
I watched it primarily because Brandy's in it.
Ken TalbotHOST
And I watched Moesha when I was a kid.
Ken TalbotHOST
So I really like Moesha.
Ken TalbotHOST
And Brandy's in it.
Ken TalbotHOST
Obviously, Brandy of I Still Know What You Did Last Summer fame.
Ken TalbotHOST
And the reboot of I Know What You Did Last Summer.
Ken TalbotHOST
She's also in that at the end.
Will FriedleHOST
There we go.
Will FriedleHOST
And for the cast, let's start with Brandi Norwood, known to the masses as just Brandi.
Will FriedleHOST
You know you're awesome when you can just have one name.
Will FriedleHOST
If I said Will, everyone would be like, I love Will Ferrell.
5 MINS LATER
Will FriedleHOST
The character actor also found himself on Broadway starring in Sweeney Todd, Death Trap, and Hello Dolly with a co-star we recognize, Bernadette Peters, the evil stepmother.
Will FriedleHOST
And finally, wrestler Whitney Houston appears as the fairy godmother, a producer on the movie.
Will FriedleHOST
She pivoted from playing Cinderella and helped pick Brandi as her successor, but still decided to play this smaller, less demanding role.
Will FriedleHOST
Houston is considered the greatest pound-for-pound singer of her generation.
WesHOST
She really is a talented actor.
WesHOST
Praise must also be given to Brandy, who I really only know from the 1998 slasher franchise film I Still Know What You Did Last Summer, as her performance in this film is brilliant.
WesHOST
As Belinda, the range of emotions she has to portray in a mere 1 hour and 35 minutes is quite exhausting to watch, but she does it so well.
WesHOST
It really works as a great pairing on screen.
