But where’s the Wormers?
“Now and Then” stars Demi Moore, Rita Wilson, Rosie O’Donnell and Melanie Griffith reunited at the Elle’s 2024 Women in Hollywood event in Beverly Hills on Tuesday.
The foursome, who starred in the 1995 coming-of-age dramedy, came together to celebrate Moore, 62, one of the honorees at the event.
Moore’s former co-stars introduced her and looked back on the ’70s-set project.
“We first worked with Demi on ‘Now and Then,’ a film that she produced and starred in back in 1995, nearly 30 years ago,” said Griffith, 67, according to Elle.
“We were all honored that she asked us to be a part of that film, a story about women produced by women, written by a woman, directed by a woman, and starring primarily women, a rare thing in 1995 and a true gift,” added O’Donnell, 62.
Wilson, 68, recalled how Moore appeared naked on the cover of Vanity Fair while she was seven months pregnant in 1991, as the group drew attention to Moore’s other popular ’90s projects like “Ghost,” “A Few Good Men,” and “If These Walls Could Talk.”
“And now she’s experiencing a renaissance,” Griffith said.
“A Demi-ssance, if you will,” O’Donnell added.
Moore recently starred in “The Substance,” which the Post’s Johnny Oleksinski gave 3.5 stars. The horror movie — which was submitted in the “musical or comedy” category for the Golden Globes — premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival in September.
The quartet marked their reunion by posing together on the red carpet. The pictures made beloved fans of the movie go wild on social media.
“I’m screaming,” one person wrote on X (formerly Twitter).
“OH MY GODDDDD MY FAVE,” said another person.
“Now and Then” was directed by Leslie Linka Glatter, known for her work on “Mad Men” and “Homeland,” and written by “Pretty Little Liars” creator I. Marlene King.
The film follows four women (Moore, O’Donnell, Wilson, and Griffith) who recall a pivotal summer they shared together when they were 12.
The younger versions of the characters are played by Gaby Hoffmann (Moore’s character), Christina Ricci (O’Donnell’s character), the late Ashleigh Aston Moore (Wilson’s character), and Thora Birch (Griffith’s character).
While the movie received negative reviews from critics, it grossed over $37 million at the box office and remains a cult classic.
Moore, who was one of the producers on “Now and Then,” previously reunited with Wilson and Griffith in April at an event benefiting Women’s Cancer Research Fund.
In 2019, Moore shared a photo of herself and Griffith at her “Inside Out” book party. She also posted a second photo of the pair as their characters in the film.
“Now and Then 😉 @melaniegriffith #TBT,” the former Brat Pack member wrote in her caption.
