The Hollywood trend of reviving, rebooting, and re-releasing classic IP is showing no signs of slowing down. As movies hit major milestones, studios often capitalize on these anniversaries as a springboard to re-engage older fans and attract new ones. This year, a beloved sci-fi cult classic – widely considered the ultimate “anti-blockbuster” – is celebrating its 30th anniversary since it touched down in theaters in 1996, and the studio behind it has announced a long-awaited new release to commemorate the momentous occasion.
