The first photo of Jean Dujardin in the remake of the cult sci-fi film, which is expected in late 2025

This is a must-see movie in 2025: The Shrinking Man starring Jean Dujardin. The actor will go from 1 meter 82… to 1 centimeter for this role! “Premiere” magazine published the first photo from the film.

The Shrinking Man is a new adaptation of Richard Matheson’s science fiction novel that already spawned the 1957 Jack Arnold classic.

In the premiere columns, director Ian Koenen explains: “It is an adventure film and a metaphysical drama. It will be about survival, but also about resilience, acceptance and the indivisibility of things. This is an initiative trip.“

and added: “Several American directors have tried to adapt this story again, but each time they failed, in my opinion, because the strangeness and dramatic dimension of the project did not match what was meant in terms of budget. We did it for less than €20 million, but it required a lot of ingenuity.“

The pitch is as follows: the journey of an ordinary man who divides his life between a shipbuilding company and his family. Faced with a strange, unexplained meteorological phenomenon during a sea voyage, he begins to contract incessantly in a way that science cannot explain. Suddenly a prisoner of his own cellar, only inches away, he must fight for survival in this banal environment turned hostile. The co-screenwriters of the film are Ian Kuen and Christophe Deslandes.
