“A social satire in which a guy realizes he would have a better life if he were to shrink himself.”

Co-written and directed by Alexander Payne (Sideways, The Descendants, Nebraska), Downsizing is a social satire about a man that decides he would have a better life if he were to shrink himself. Payne has had a great deal of success in film and I fully expect it to continue here, especially considering the cast. The cast includes Matt Damon, Kristen Wiig, Brigette Lundy-Paine, and Christoph Waltz. Check out the exclusive trailers below!!

Ted Takes Fun Facts, Downsizing:

  • Filmed at Alexander Payne's high school Alma-Mater, Creighton Prep in Omaha, Nebraska.
