Brett Ratner Directing Incredible Shrinking Man.
Brett Ratner Directing Incredible Shrinking Man
Source: The Hollywood Reporter April 18, 2008 Brett Ratner is in negotiations to direct Universal Pictures and Imagine Entertainment's remake of The Incredible Shrinking Man. Brian Grazer is producing the project, which has Eddie Murphy attached to star, says The Hollywood Reporter. An updated version of the best-selling novel and 1957 sci-fi classic starring Grant Williams, "Man" is taking the comedic approach to the fantastical material, telling the story of a famous Las Vegas magician who is put under a spell that causes him to shrink. He must find a way to reverse the spell before he gets so small that he "disappears." Thomas Lennon and Robert Ben Garant wrote the most recent draft of the screenplay for the project, which had previously seen Pete Segal and Keenen Ivory Wayans in the director's chair.

Re: Brett Ratner Directing Incredible Shrinking Man.
With Thomas Lennon and Robert Ben Garant writing it could be pretty funny, Reno 911 is a great show so they can do comedy.

Re: Brett Ratner Directing Incredible Shrinking Man.
Why a spell? At least make it like the original and have it be a scientific thing. Damn.

Re: Brett Ratner Directing Incredible Shrinking Man.
Isn't Big Dave a tad bit similar with the size plot?
Anyway, Brett's been attached to a whole lot over the years. I don't think this will be one to make it to the screen. I'm more interested in the bank heist film Ratner is planning. |

Re: Brett Ratner Directing Incredible Shrinking Man.
As soon as I read the title I rubbed my eyes, shook my head in denial and went: "Another Eddie Murphy film... If it is, this is the end of Ratner's career." And after reading the first post, low and behold Eddie Murphy is in fact the "Star" of the film.

Re: Brett Ratner Directing Incredible Shrinking Man.
They should just take the budget of the movie and just throw it in the streets. They're gonna lose it all anyways. FLOP.

Re: Brett Ratner Directing Incredible Shrinking Man.
I'm perfectly ok with this. If Ratner is attached to s***ty films, it keeps him away from films I actually care about.

Hopefully this'll kill their careers.

Re: Brett Ratner Directing Incredible Shrinking Man.
I love the original.
Not really excited about this bit of news. Wouldnt be surprised the film turns out to be on par with The Incredible Shrinking Woman.
