Last year was The Iron Giant’s 15th anniversary, but many of you didn’t even realize it because Warner Bros. never made any real attempt to mark the occasion. There have been rumors that at some point Warner Bros. will re-release the much beloved animated film in theaters.
Director and co-screenwriter Brad Bird was asked if there was any truth to those rumors. “Listen, Warner Bros. and I have danced on and off for the last decade,” Bird told Collider. “There was going to be a 5-year-thing; there was talk about it being in 3D at one point. Then there was talk about reformatting it for IMAX or whatever. Discussions keep happening, but I think something will happen fairly soon.”
