BuzzFeed News is reporting that a director’s cut of the cult classic Friday will return to theatres to commemorate the F. Gary Gray film starring Ice Cube and Chris Tucker
“For the theaters, for New Line [Cinema], for the fans to want to pay homage to the movie in this way is cool,” Ice Cube told BuzzFeed. “It lets you know how much people appreciate it and how much fun it is … and it lets you know that Friday is now a part of the American fabric.”
The one-night-only rerelease will also include “Friday Straight Up,” a 24-minute featurette with behind-the-scenes footage from the making of the movie and interviews with the cast.
On April 14, the “Friday” soundtrack, which was the No. 1 album in the U.S. for two weeks in 1995 and eventually went double platinum, will also get the anniversary treatment and have a vinyl reissue.
