The first footage from Downsizing was shown during Paramount’s panel at CinemaCon 2017 – and so far, the reactions to what was shown appear to be all-but universally positive.
Few people have probably heard about Matt Damon and Kristen Wiig’s science fiction comedy Downsizing at this point, making it something of a box office risk.
Joining Damon and Wiig in the film are comedy buffs Neil Patrick Harris, Alec Baldwin, and Jason Sudeikis, as well as Oscar-winner (and frequent villain actor), Christoph Waltz.
Downsizing isn’t scheduled to hit theaters until near the end of this year, but Paramount Pictures has decided to go ahead and start building hype for the film now.
