The Iron Giant (Vin Diesel) and Hogarth Hughes (Eli Marienthal). IRON GIANT, 1999\. The Iron Giant (Vin Diesel) and Hogarth Hughes (Eli Marienthal).Warner Bros. by [Jeff Labrecque / Entertainment Weekly](https://time.com/author/entertainment-weekly/) ## Jeff Labrecque / Entertainment Weekly Jul 8, 2015 5:51 PM UTC In May, _Tomorrowland_ director Brad Bird let slip that [_The Iron Giant_](http://irongiant.warnerbros.com/cmp/ig%5Fhow%5Fmovie.htm), his 1999 box-office dud turned beloved animated classic, might find its way back into theaters for a special re-release. “I think something will happen fairly soon,” Bird told [Collider](http://collider.com/iron-giant-coming-back-to-theaters-says-brad-bird/). “They know that people have a fondness for it. … I would love to see _Iron Giant_ get back into theaters even if only for a week.” It won’t be a week’s run, but pencil Sept. 30 on your calendar. Warner Bros. and Fathom Events are putting a remastered “Signature Edition” version of _The Iron Giant_ in theaters for a very limited engagement. The special-event screening will take place at 7:00 p.m. on Sept. 30, with an encore showing on Oct. 4 at 12 p.m. in participating theaters around the country. The new remastered cut will include two all-new scenes. “We can’t wait to bring this family favorite back its home on the big screen,” said Fathom Events CEO John Rubey, in a statement. “_The Iron Giant_ is meant to be seen and heard in movie theaters and this is a great chance for fans new and old to enjoy this classic, remastered with new scenes.” _The Iron Giant_ tells the story of a rebellious Maine boy named Hogarth who befriends a towering 50-foot robot (voiced by Vin Diesel) who is both wanted and feared in 1957 America, at the height of Cold War paranoia. The film, Bird’s first as director, was soundly ignored at the box-office when it opened on Aug. 3, 1999, debuting at No. 9 and ultimately grossing only $23.2 million (reportedly less than a third of its production budget). But critics [lavished it with praise](http://www.metacritic.com/movie/the-iron-giant) and it went on to win nine Annie Awards. In the 16 years since, _The Iron Giant_ has only risen in profile and is considered one of the richest animated films of an age mostly dominated by Pixar films. The [gorgeous Mondo poster](http://mondotees.com/products/iron-giant-variant-kevin-tong-poster?variant=830405491) echoes the passion and artistry that drip off every frame of the film. Following the brief theatrical re-release, a high-definition version of _The Iron Giant: Signature Edition_ will be available from digital retailers in the fall of 2015\. More information about the Sept. 30 re-release can be found on [the Fathom Events tickets page](http://www.fathomevents.com/event/the-iron-giant-signature-edition). _This_ [_article_](http://www.ew.com/article/2015/07/08/iron-giant-rerelease) _originally appeared on_ [_EW.com_](http://www.ew.com) ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3949846/iron-giant-possible-theater-return/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3949846/iron-giant-possible-theater-return/"},"headline":"The Iron Giant May Return to Theaters This Fall","datePublished":"2015-07-08T17:51:22.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-22T09:03:53.643Z","description":"The remastered version will be titled 'The Iron Giant: Signature Edition'","url":"https://time.com/3949846/iron-giant-possible-theater-return/","keywords":["movies","Animation"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt671554972b5f704c/69885a15524fc09d59df3778/the-iron-giant1.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Jeff Labrecque / Entertainment Weekly"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt671554972b5f704c/69885a15524fc09d59df3778/the-iron-giant1.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"the iron giant","caption":"the iron giant","creditText":"Warner Bros.","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/entertainment/","name":"Entertainment"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/movies/","name":"movies"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/3949846/iron-giant-possible-theater-return/","name":"The Iron Giant May Return to Theaters This Fall"}}]}] ```
