The habit of making children smaller
In the spring of this year, rumors circulated in the press that Disney was planning to revive the Darling, I Shrunk Children franchise. Josh Gad was involved in the development of the new film, but the name of the director of the project became known only now. House of Mouse was very far-sighted and invited the director of the original 1989 comedy Joe Johnston to lead the filming of the new part.It is reported that the plot of the sequel will revolve around Nick Zalinski, son of Professor Wayne Zalinski from the first part. Like his father, Nick became a bit of an absent-minded scientist who one day accidentally shrinks his relatives. The main role in the film is planned to be played by the already mentioned Josh Gad. The first film in the series, directed by Joe Johnston, grossed an impressive $ 222 million. Two sequels and a series followed, but Johnston was not involved. He, in turn, continued to delight the audience with family comedies: thanks to Johnston, "The Rocketman", "The Lord of the Pages", "Jumanji" appeared. The filmmaker's latest high-profile project so far is Captain America: The First Avenger, and last year Disney hired him to co-shoot The Nutcracker and the Four Kingdoms.  Initially, the studio planned to release a sequel on the Disney + platform, but the script inspired the major bosses so much that they changed their strategy and decided to send the film straight to the big screens.
