Jennifer Lopez is set to play the incredible Shrinking woman in the movie "Shrink!", reports
Variety.
Columbia Pictures has made an option deal on "Shrink!," a comedy based on an Internet comic strip by former Marvel Comics creator-illustrator Rob Liefeld, which will be developed as a cross between "Men in Black" with "Analyze This."
The comedy deals with a world populated by superheroes who turn to the shrink (Lopez) to unburden. The protagonist was once a superhero herself until a traumatic incident prompted her to shield that power. She finds herself in a love triangle between a villain and virtuous superbeings.
Columbia hopes to use recognizable Spandex-clad heroes, the way "Shrek" did animated characters, to create a large-canvas comedy with a serious side.
"Rob came in with five visuals and the pitch, and the studio went for a film, which we hope will kick-start a comic book, TV series, anything we want," Guillod said. "After Jennifer made the Sony deal, we wanted to start with something that could be a gigantic franchise, and this is it."
