1905 Film Network News Alexander Payne's latest work "Shrinking" recently released its first stills. In the stills, Matt Damon and his wife, Kristin Wegg, are standing in the middle of a group of people, observing the shrunken humans and the houses built for them. A group of people laughed and laughed, and the shrunken people were shouting at them with their horns, and it seemed that the shrunken feeling was very good. A similar plot has also appeared in the British drama "Black Mirror", that is, full of visual sense.
Positioned as a black sci-fi comedy, director Alexander Payne has been following since his debut novel Citizen Ruth, about a middle-aged couple who are experiencing severe financial difficulties and who voluntarily join the "shrink" program in order to maximize their living expenses: make themselves smaller and consume less. But the wife (Kristen Wegg) hesitates when she "shrinks" and does not become "Ant-Man", while the husband (Matt Damon) shrinks successfully, so the "miniature husband" and his wife begin to discord in many ways, and the marriage of the two faces a new crisis. At the same time, people around the world who participated in the "shrink" program moved into neighborhoods built to the size of small people, and such communities began to emerge.
The screenplay for Shrinking Up was written by Alexander Payne and Jim Taylor, who won the Academy Award for Best Adapted Screenplay in 2005 for A Glass of Wine. Paramount released the opening 10-minute clip of the film at this year's Cinemacon, which received unanimous praise, and some media said that the film had a strong Kubrick style. The director of this film, Payne, has been nominated for the Oscar 7 times for films such as "A Glass of Wine Life", "Descendants" and "Campus Storm", and has won trophies twice. He is an Oscar regular. In addition to entering the awards season, the film is also the opening film of the Venice Film Festival and will land on the North American screen on December 22 this year.
