Size Graphic Novel "In the Small"

vended · 05-19-2010

In the Small by Michael Hague

"A mysterious blue light (given the name "The Blue Flash") instantly reduces every human being on Earth - and ONLY human beings - to one-twelfth of its original size, so a six foot tall person is now a six INCH tall person. In a (literal) flash, Nature turns the tables on Mankind: Machines and dwellings made for Man's use are now too big to be used, devices to keep nature at bay are either useless or keep humans at bay now. And Man is no longer the dominant creature on the planet; even creatures still smaller than humans, such as ants, are more deadly than they were before. Among those who survive the Blue Flash, two brave teenagers, eighteen-year-old Mouse and his sister Beat, emerge as leaders. This graphic novel has been out for almost two years, and reportedly there are plans for a motion picture based on it."

Sound interesting.

Seem to be a movie of it planned for 2010 by the guy who make "I am legend"

Sounds interesting.

Are there any scans of it out there?

Where have I heard that premise before... ? ;-)

Would the word epic come close to describing this movie?

LK · 05-19-2010

I doubt there will be a good shrinking process out of this. =\

While I agree with Lorekeep, I still feel the need to hold out some small shred of hope.

KEEP THE FLAME ALIVE!

Yeah, it sounds like instants shrinking.
Still, even without process, it could have been so much better if only one gender shrank. I wouldn't care if it were SW or SM, either would have been awesome.

Well, it's more man Vs. nature then man vs. other man, so I think shrinking only one gender would have killed the entire darn point of the book.

It's got my interests somewhat. Could be a fun read.

Yes, i can agree with this! It's like the littles sans humans

I actually own this. No process, but everyone shrinks out of there clothes, so that's a plus.

If only they were to do that in this alleged movie.

The link is from late 2009 and the project isn't listen on Francis Lawrence's IMDB profile, though he does have one untitled project. Sounds like this one is dead at the moment. The article does say that Laura Harrington wrote a first draft so at least there's a script floating around out there.

Although there's no process in the original graphic novel, I wouldn't be surprised if a movie adaptation included a process sequence. The shrinking-out-of-clothes sequence from Burton's AIW was featured in the trailer so someone in Hollywood thinks that kind of thing sells movie tickets.

Can you pot some scans? Even without process, it may have something to offer.
