Rick Moranis to Star in
‘Honey, I Shrunk the Kids’ Reboot After a 24-year hiatus from acting, Moranis is stepping
back into the spotlight to revisit one of his most iconic roles. He took a break from acting after
his wife, Ann Belsky, died of breast cancer in 1991. According to ‘The Hollywood Reporter,’
Moranis will reprise his role as scientist
Wayne Szalinski in a reboot of ‘Honey I Shrunk the Kids.’ The new film, titled ‘Shrunk,’ will also star
Josh Gad as Nick, Wayne’s grown-up son. ‘Shrunk’ will reportedly recreate the
original movie's premise, with Gad’s
character accidentally shrinking his own
kids, just as his father did before him. ‘Shrunk’ will be directed by Joe Johnston,
who previously helmed the original movie. Johnston has also directed other well-known
films such as ‘Jumanji,’ ’Jurassic Park III’ and
‘Captain America: The First Avenger.’
