Alexander Payne’s shrinking movie casts a teeny-tiny Christoph Waltz

Witherspoon and Damon will play a couple separated when Damon’s husband character goes ahead with the procedure without his reluctant wife. It’s not clear yet what role Waltz will perform, although putting Christoph Waltz and a shrinking machine in the same room and then not having him use it to charmingly extort billions from national governments by pointing it at landmarks seems like a real missed opportunity.

Downsizing is expected to start filming later this year, after Damon is finished being Bourne again; Witherspoon, meanwhile, is currently producing a new TV series for ABC, while Waltz will appear in the upcoming The Legend Of Tarzan as a villain, because that is what Christoph Waltz does.
