The sci-fi comedy-drama was directed by Alexander Payne using a screenplay he co-wrote with Jim Taylor.

But after learning that old friends Dave (Jason Sudeikis) and Carol Johnson (Maribeth Monroe) have undergone the medical procedure to shrink them to five inches, Paul and Audrey explore the idea.

Also starring Christoph Waltz, Downsizing was one of several winter 2017-18 films to open alongside the likes of Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle, The Greatest Showman, The Post, and Bright.
