The world is about to get a whole lot smaller -or bigger if you will; and we’re super excited to see what a rebooted version of one of our beloved movies would look like!
According to reports, a reboot is not the only part that’s important.
Disney Insider reported that Rick Moranis is rumoured to be in talks to reprise his role as the eccentric inventor Wayne Szalinski.

Of course, this rumour needs to be taken with a pinch of salt as it has not been confirmed that the reclusive comedian has taken the role just yet.
If the actor does indeed return to the role, this would be his first major live-action appearance since 1997’s Honey, We Shrunk Ourselves.

However, if you’re expecting the fun and laughter of the previous Shrunk movies, this reboot is reportedly taking a slightly deeper tone with Josh Gad also in talks to join the movie.
According to the Disney Insider report, here’s what we have to look forward to with the reboot.
“Aware that the family ties have loosened over time but seemingly afraid to confront anyone directly. He has been tinkering alone in his attic for decades, dealing with the grief of losing his wife. When we first meet him, he has accidentally shrunk himself and is flying around on a shrunken drone — seemingly lost in a continuous of tinkering and experimenting that often puts himself and his family in jeopardy. He later reveals he shut himself away to try and invent a solution to help shrink Diane's cancer but found it hard to cope when he ran out of time. His guilt and shame is palpable. Through the crisis of the kids getting shrunk, the truth emerges and the bonds begin to redevelop between him and his kids.”

Production on the reboot will reportedly begin in early 2020 and the movie will most likely make its way to the big screen in 2021, but no official date has been set yet.
