Eddie Murphy is attached to star in a remake of “The Incredible Shrinking Man” for Universal Pictures, with “Rush Hour” director Brett Ratner in negotiations to shoot, according to the Hollywood Reporter.
The updated version of the best-selling novel and classic 1957 film will be presented as more of a comedy than its sci-fi predecessor. The story follows a famous Las Vegas magician who searches for a way to reverse a spell that has caused him to shrink.
The project previously had Keenen Ivory Wayans in the director’s chair.
