DH: MGM Rebooting [ISMAN] With Author Richard Matheson and Son Writing (Exclusive)

Posted by: tatoufan on Feb 13, 08:41

- MGM has acquired the rights toRichard Matheson’s classic sci-fi novel The Shrinking Manwith the aim of bringing an updated version of the story that was first adapted on-screen asThe Incredible Shrinking Manin 1957.

- Universal held the rights to the book for decades, releasing the original movie and trying with Imagine Entertainment to come up with ways to bring a new adaptation to the big-screen. At one point, Eddie Murphy was attached to star as a magician who shrinks due to a spell. (In fact, the comedy aspect of this concept has surfaced in recent decades in such movies such as 1981’s The Incredible Shrinking Woman and 1989's Honey, I Shrunk the Kids, which was not based on the novel but certainly took cues from it. The new Shrinking Man will not be a comedy.)

- The rights lapsed last summer and MGM quietly swooped in.
