It was making our own movie that’s inspired by the same original material and premise. So we went back to the source to take what’s so brilliant and strong about that premise and evolve it from there. We’re aware of the movie, but we wanted to give it something that feels very current and fresh for a 2025 audience."The film will be released on April 11, 2025.Stay tuned to Soap Central for more such stories.
