Yes! That's right, Honey, I Shrunk The Kids is set to get its fourth sequel after 23 years titled 'Shrunk'. The film will star Rick Moranis in his first live-action film since 1997 (Honey, We Shrunk Ourselves). Moranis had a run of hits throughout the '80s and '90s, starring in films like 'Parenthood', 'Spaceballs', 'Little Shop of Horrors', and the 'Ghostbusters' franchise. He took a two-decade break from movies to raise his children and do voice work.
The actor stepped away from film and TV roles after his wife died. Moranis' last theatrical release was the 2003 'Brother Bear'. The film will also star Josh Gad. He, who will reportedly play the son of Moranis' character, tweeted:
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! #Shrunk https://t.co/oZRokBbQQs

Shrunk will be produced by Disney and Jor Johnston will return to direct. The original film became a sleeper blockbuster. It grossed $222 million worldwide against a budget of $18 million and became the highest-grossing live-action Disney film ever, a record it held for five years. Its success spawned a franchise including two sequels 'Honey, I Blew Up the Kid' and 'Honey, We Shrunk Ourselves', a television series and theme-park attractions.
