Jean Dujardin in 'The Incredible Shrinking Man' French Remake Trailer

"Our life is fleeting... Tiny – that's what we are." Universal France has revealed two full official trailers for a brand new modern remake of the classic story about The Incredible Shrinking Man. From director Jan Kounen, this new French movie is called L'homme qui rétrécit (or just The Shrinking Man as there's no other English title yet). Jean Dujardin stars in this remake / re-adaptation of the Richard Matheson novel, which is directed by French filmmaker Jan Kounen, and will be released in France this October. It's premiering first at the 2025 Sitges Film Festival in October - that's how I found out about this one, since it has barely been mentioned over in the US so far. A shipbuilder named Paul living on the coast inexplicably begins to shrink, then gets trapped in his own basement, only once inch (a few cm) tall. He must fight for survival in now-hostile ordinary household environment. "The Shrinking Man is both a coming-of-age story and an adventure film." Also starring Marie-Josée Croze and Daphné Richard. And with a new score by Alexandre Desplat. This looks damn good! Not as cheesy or as ridiculous as I was expecting. Of course, once he gets small, he battles his own cat and a very scary looking realistic spider. This looks terrifying! I'm definitely curious to check it out – I hope it'll also play in the US not long after the French opening this fall. // Continue Reading ›
