I can do with out the sex angle. Just want it to be sexy. And women can be very sexy without being explicit. Yeah I wasn't really sure which actress to use. So I chose a hot model with big boobs. I've not been keeping up on movies, and can't watch new TV shows with an antenna.

If I did a remake of ISW, I'd shake up the story a bit. Maybe the first hour or so would involve the slow shrink like the original. Then, she escapes the evil corporation to have her size restored. But, they find her and shrink her back down to six inches with a nice shrinking out of clothes scene.

That sounds fun, though I am tired of the evil corporation trope. A slow shrinking process would be nice to actually see. Getting the right shrinking speed would be hard. The fast shrink out of clothes would be cool. Her interacting with giant clothes at six inches tall would be nice.

While obviously I'm interested in this movie because of shrinking, I like the idea of exploring the effects of it in our society. Also, it's very clearly commentary on Western masculinity, which I'm okay with.

Yeah shrinking people against their will when it's permanent doesn't really appeal to me. I don't know if they will explore it as it would have horrific consequences.

I don't think it is about western masculinity. Not from what I could find about the movie any way.

Of course we could hope that the movie goes apocalyptic and whole crowds of protesters get shrunk at the end. But still, hollywood will probably take a ruler to the fetishes and make it all guys.

Yeah, and as for remakes, they'd polly do an Incredible shrinking man again first.

And I love Lily Thomlin, but not in that way.

Kaley Cuoco, Selena Gomez, or Mila Kunis are my picks.

I'm more interested in the interaction of regular-sized items in their world, like the "giant" Vodka bottle seen in the trailer, than on any potential shrinking sequence. I like the idea of a world where normal-sized and tiny people interact with each other.

Yeah, I think a new ISW could still be sexy at a PG-13 as long as we get a tiny SW hiding her naughty bits with a giant bra or giant panties

That is what I want to see. Some one should make one thread for who to play the Incredible Shrinking Man and Incredible Shrinking Woman. And discus there so we can stay on topic.

If the wife does leave him that makes her a horrible person. If they are shrinking together they should back out together. Or find a way to make the marriage work when he is shrunk.

As the comments on YouTube say, this has them makings of a horror movie.

The script as leaked seemed to be pointing to some sort of conservative moral about don't let the government have any power over you. As for the non-consensual stuff, I guess it is like mild version of horror films - no one would want to be in one in real life, but they still go see them. (I don't usually.)

Hong Chau's character is a Vietnamese activist

Chinese originally, but I guess the censors won't allow that.

I wonder if normal sized people are allowed to directly pick up shrunken people? It looks like the shrunken people are shown to be fragile. It's to bad as it leaves out lots of possibilities.

If it was rated R you could get lots more. Tiny women getting licked. Tiny guys dropped into panties, or between breasts. Since they are shrunk would a normal sized person smell the same?

Hate to bump an old-ass topic, but did anyone ever bother to watch the movie? I heard it sucked.
