Walt Disney Pictures is reportedly developing Shrunk, a reboot but also a ‘legacy-quel’ of classic comedy Honey, I Shrunk The Kids with Josh Gad signed on to star in the Rick Moranis role reports Slashfilm.
In the Joe Johnston-helmed original, Moranis played a scientist father who accidentally shrinks his teenage son and daughter (alongside some neighborhood kids) to just a quarter of an inch in size. They must then adventure through their backyard to return home while fending off insects and other massive-sized obstacles.
The new project will reportedly be set in the same universe as the original movies, just three decades later. Gad will play the grown-up version of scientist and inventor Wayne Szalinski’s son, Adam Szalinski who accidentally shrinks his kids.
The project will have a theatrical release and is currently looking for a director.
