Hey Big 'C' give me the budget I'll make it for you. :D
Although I wouldn't go for CGI at all, just crazy gigantic sets with in camera trickery. It's amazing what you can do with a false perspective set, and with the advancements of animatronics (such as Stan Winstones' studios works) I reckon you could pretty much do a full scale tarantula and edit it in such a way to make it very convincing!
And yeah no need to alter the ending that's the very essence of what the character is going through.

What about Alan Tudyk in this role? He'd have just the right amount of humour and pathos for Scott Carey.

Remake? Hell NO! Double hell no!
It would look something like a cross between Honey I Shrunk The Kids and Incredible Shrinking Woman, except it wouldn't even be half as good as those two movies. Look at the track record of re-makes of classic 50's & 60's sci fi. By and large they all suck the big one. Shrinking Man was low budget, b&w, wonderfully hand-crafted special effects, believeable no-name actors, and it was a pure masterpiece.

I remember as a kid, being there at that fence with him after killing the spider, the incredible feeling of looking out into an unknown world, and hearing that moving message of hope. It still gives me chills today.
Yes, clean it up. Maybe add some sepia tones, and re-release with extras (if any exist) on the dvd.

It's never been about "have to".

Quote:Yeah. That was the first full-length movie I ever saw as a little kid in the mid-sixties. No wonder I am like I am, eh?

Oh,so you wanted to make a movie which does well at the box office ? Then why didn't you SAY so?
