“Boyhood,” the Oscar-winning coming-of-age drama filmed over 12 years by Richard Linklater, will return to theaters nationwide for its 12th anniversary.

“We started filming this 24 years ago,” Linklater says. “The way life chugs along, you look up and it’s been 12 years since the movie came out and it’s kind of crazy. But the whole project was untraditional. We’d get together for a few weeks every year and film, so it ended up taking up a big chunk of our lives.”
