The Rat now in the running to direct the INCREDIBLE SHRINKING MAN remake

Ahoy, squirts! Quint here. Brett Ratner's in talks to direct THE INCREDIBLE SHRINKING MAN which has been long in the works as an Eddie Murphy vehicle. If I remember correctly 5 years back it was supposed to go with Keenan Ivory Wayans directing. The only reason I'd hold out any hope for this movie would be that Thomas Lennon and Ben Garant have scripted the latest draft. They're the RENO 911 guys, but I've noticed something really odd with them... I've interviewed them and seen them speak on a few occasions and they are fucking hilarious in person. But I never really see their humor translate successfully. BALLS OF FURY was a big missed opportunity and I wasn't able to get into RENO 911. If Ratner wants to work on Eddie Murphy vehicles, I have nothing against that. I'm sure he'll shoot a good looking film and I'd prefer he doing these and not, say, Spider-Man 4. You?
