There is renewed interest at Amazon to adapt Richard Matheson's sci-fi novel "The Shrinking Man", as a tragic, modern-day dramatic feature:
Published in 1956, "The Shrinking Man" was previously adapted into two motion pictures...
...including "The Incredible Shrinking Man" (1957) and "The Incredible Shrinking Woman" (1981) :
"....while on holiday, 'Scott Carey' is exposed to a cloud of radioactive spray shortly after he accidentally ingests insecticide. The radioactivity acts as a catalyst for the bug spray, causing his body to shrink at a rate of approximately 1/7 of an inch per day. A few weeks later, Carey can no longer deny the truth: not only is he losing weight, he is also shorter than he was and deduces, to his dismay, that his body will continue to shrink.
"The abnormal size decrease of his body initially brings teases and taunting from local youths, then causes friction in his marriage and family life.
