Not sure it's the right time for this as we have ant man. Crichton is a great writer though.

I think the concept is unique enough (survivor thriller in a forest, closer to Honey, I shrunk The Kids) to differentiate it from Ant-Man.

OTOH, Universal Studios may very well be banking on the popularity of Ant-Man's miniaturization concept. The success of Ant-Man will probably stand this one in good stead.

It's going to be a while till it's made, so hopefully there will be less people thinking "people getting shrunk? Seen that".
