It sounds familiar so maybe it's been talked about here before. I don't suppose at the end he shrinks down inside a video poker machine and encounters Tron.

But how will Will Smith look all tiny?

. . . from the plot description (a comedy!! - well, there goes the metaphysical ending), the new movie would appear to be about an entirely different shrinking man - I don't know why they would call this one a "remake" unless it is an attempt to cash in on the success of I AM LEGEND - you know, "By the Author of . . . " or some such silly stuff . . .

Eddie Murphy. And I was joking with "Will Smith."

Oy.

I just hope the remake of THE HAUNTING will....what?

Never mind.

The Brett Ratner-Eddie Murphy-Las Vegas comedy version of Matheson.... like a mouthful of moldy cardboard. I don't know why I even thought of trying an April Fools Day movie joke here a few weeks ago. Hollywood keeps playing us for fools all the time.

Holly-what? <_<

Wow... I hope they have a bit where a tiny Eddie Murphy gets trapped in a woman's cleavage.

'Cause that'd be really funny.

Anybody remember the name of that '80s movie that used to run on USA Network about a high school dude and a leprechaun who shrink? In the scene I remember, the dude and the leprechaun wait for the hot cheerleader next door to ride her on a bike to school and the dude and leprechaun shrink to tiny size and are on the bicycle seat and the cheerleader comes out, doesn't see them and rides the bike to school and the two wind up clinging for dear life in a very sensitive part of hers which leads to a very interesting performance by the cheerleader in geology class. Clearly, a demented imagination was at work there, but I did laugh out loud.

So, is THE INCREDIBLE SHRINKING WOMAN any good?

Well, I haven't seen it since it was in theaters... but I recall it didn't work very well as a comedy. Didn't work at all as anything else. Not something I feel like giving a second chance.

Eddie Murphy already plays a tiny guy in the upcoming movie, MEET DAVE. He plays one of the 1-inch-high or so pilots of a robot that looks just like...Eddie Murphy! At some point he comes out of the robot for some "Shrinking Man"-style action.

Kids. Love. THE INCREDIBLE SHRINKING WOMAN. It has a shrinking woman and Rick Baker in a gorilla suit and Charles Grodin. As these are things children inherently love, therefore: kids love THE INCREDIBLE SHRINKING WOMAN.

To be fair, I just don't like Lily Tomlin. And The Incredible Shrinking Woman had way too much Lily Tomlin... it was like an episode of This is Your Life featuring every character she'd ever created.

All of Me is the only movie she was in that I liked, but her character was supposed to be unlikeable (for the most part). I think it was the last Steve Martin movie I liked, also.
