I can do with out the sex angle. Just want it to be sexy. And women can be very sexy without being explicit. Yeah I wasn't really sure which actress to use. So I chose a hot model with big boobs. I've not been keeping up on movies, and can't watch new TV shows with an antenna.

If I did a remake of ISW, I'd shake up the story a bit. Maybe the first hour or so would involve the slow shrink like the original. Then, she escapes the evil corporation to have her size restored. But, they find her and shrink her back down to six inches with a nice shrinking out of clothes scene.
That sounds fun, though I am tired of the evil corporation trope. A slow shrinking process would be nice to actually see. Getting the right shrinking speed would be hard. The fast shrink out of clothes would be cool. Her interacting with giant clothes at six inches tall would be nice.

While obviously I'm interested in this movie because of shrinking, I like the idea of exploring the effects of it in our society. Also, it's very clearly commentary on Western masculinity, which I'm okay with.
Yeah shrinking people against their will when it's permanent doesn't really appeal to me. I don't know if they will explore it as it would have horrific consequences.

I don't think it is about western masculinity. Not from what I could find about the movie any way.
