It’s been 24 years since Blast from the Past hit theaters and star Alicia Silverstone is set for a sequel with Oscar winner Brendan Fraser.
During the “Clueless” reunion panel at ’90s Con, the actor answered a fan question about whether he would see the movie again.

“With Brendan? I would do anything with Brendan. It was a lot of fun,” Silverstone said at a panel in Hartford, Connecticut on Sunday. “I saw Brenda after she won the Oscar and she’s so cute. She talked about how we all go through this really tough time in her speech and you have to grow up and it’s the life you fight for. part of it and then look what happens to it! Yes, I’m happy to do it.”
The romantic comedy was released in 1999 and starred Fraser, Silverstone, Christopher Walken, Sissy Spacek and Dave Foley. It focuses on a 35-year-old man (Fraser) who has lived his entire life in a shelter built by his father (Walken). Upon arriving in the modern world, he meets Eve (Silverstone), who opens his eyes to a whole new life.
Silverstone attended the Vanity Fair Oscar party on March 12 with Fraser, who won an Academy Award earlier in the evening for his role in Darren Aronofsky’s The Whale. In the film, he played Charlie, a 600-pound English teacher trying to save his relationship with his estranged daughter (played by Sadie Sink).
“I started this business 30 years ago, things were not easy for me, but until I stopped, there was an object that I did not appreciate at that time. I just want to say thank you for this recognition,” Fraser said in his acceptance speech. “It couldn’t have been done without my cast. It’s like I’ve been on a diving expedition, and some people in my life, like my sons, are watching the weather on the surface of the water.”
