The Incredible Shrinking Man/Trivia

• Development Hell: There is supposed to be a remake starring Eddie Murphy. In fact, it was announced a few years ago, and it's STILL in preproduction.
• Hey, It's That Guy!: William Schallert, as Scott's physician, in one of his earlier roles.
• What Could Have Been: Author Richard Matheson wrote a treatment for a sequel called The Fantastic Shrinking Girl in which Louise Carey also shrinks down and joyously reunites with her now-microscopic husband, and both eventually return to normal. It was never produced, but his script was published in an anthology, Unrealized Dreams.
