Honey, I Shrunk the Kids is getting the reboot treatment after Gad pitched an idea to the studio last year to revive the classic 1989 pic. 

The original starred Rick Moranis as Wayne Szalinski, a scientist and father who accidentally shrinks his son and daughter, along with the two brothers from next door. When they are thrown out with the trash, the four kids must travel through their backyard to return home. 

In the new film, Gad will play Wayne’s grown-up son, who follows in his father’s footsteps by not only becoming a scientist but also accidentally shrinking his children.

Original director Joe Johnston is in negotiations to helm the reboot.

Described by its author Eoin Colfer as “Die Hard with fairies,” this series tells the story of 12-year old criminal mastermind Artemis Fowl who bites more than he can chew after kidnaping a powerful fairy, in the hope her magic will save his family.

Kenneth Branagh, who enjoyed huge success with the live-action remake of Cinderella, will be in charge of directing Disney’s latest. The Oscar-nominated filmmaker revealed that The Godfather served as the main influence for him as both projects feature protagonists experiencing loss of innocence after learning more about their complex family history.

Around 1,200 boys auditioned for the role of the titular character, but newcomer Ferdia Shaw was the one who proved he’s up for the challenge. This big screen-adaptation will premiere on August 9, 2019, and it also stars Lara McDonnell, Josh Gad, and Judi Dench.

Gad’s original idea for the script was developed by the Kandell sibling team, describing the movie as a subversive take on the superhero genre.

Gad appeared with Ridley in Murder on the Orient Express and with Evans on the live-action Beauty and the Beast. Ridley will be seen next in the upcoming installment of the Star Wars franchise, Star Wars: The Last Jedi, while Evans most recently appeared in Professor Marson and the Wonder Women.
