Rick Moranis to Return for Honey, I Shrunk The Kids Reboot

[Turd Fergusen]

Yes, the rumours are true - Rick Moranis is due to make his big-screen return in a Honey I Shrunk The Kids reboot.

The actor revealed his comeback with a gif from the hit 1989 film, simply announcing on Twitter: "Honey, I'm back."
Moranis, 66, was a huge star in the late '80s and early '90s thanks to his portrayal of eccentric inventor Wayne Szalinski, the father who accidentally shrinks his son and daughter - plus his neighbours' children - with a ray gun, as well as roles in Ghostbusters, Parenthood and Little Shop Of Horrors.

However, he gradually stepped away from the limelight to raise his children following the death of his wife.
Josh Gad, who is set to play Rick's son in the reboot, titled Shrunk, also tweeted to confirm the news: "To say it is a dream come true to once again see #RickMoranis on the big screen is the understatement of the decade.

"But to say, I get an up seat view of him returning to play one of his most iconic roles is the understatement of the Century. Welcome back hero!"

According to Variety, Gad was instrumental in ensuring Moranis's return.

"Honey, I BLEW UP the kids!" It's a modern take on a classic movie!

I always liked him when I was younger and gave him lots of respect to walk away from a sucessful career to do the right thing for his kids. I wonder if he's planning on coming back on a full time basis.
