Downsizing Movie Adds Christoph Waltz

Christoph Waltz is going to star in Alexander Payne's Downsizing movie.

Christoph Waltz will join Matt Damon and Reese Witherspoon in Alexander Payne’s Downsizing movie

Two time Academy Award winner Christoph Waltz has, according to Variety, joined the cast of Alexander Payne’s Downsizing movie. The satirical sci-fi tale is set to be headlined by fellow Academy Award winners Reese Witherspoon and Matt Damon with a supporting cast that includes Alec Baldwin (The Departed, “30 Rock”), Neil Patrick Harris (Gone Girl, “How I Met Your Mother”) Jason Sudeikis (We’re the Millers, Horrible Bosses) and Hong Chau (Treme, Inherent Vice).

Downsizing tells the high concept story of a man (Damon) and his wife (Witherspoon) who, deciding that their lives have gotten out of hand, decide to voluntarily have themselves shrunk down. Unfortunately for the man, his wife backs out at the last minute. There’s no word yet on what character Waltz is playing, but check back for updates as they become available.

Payne, who most recently directed Nebraska, scripted the Downsizing movie with Jim Taylor, with whom he also wrote Sideways and About Schmidt. Plans call for Downsizing to hit the big screen sometime in late 2017.

Christoph Waltz, who took home Oscars for his performances in Inglourious Basterds and Django Unchained, most recently menaced Daniel Craig’s James Bond as the big bad of last year’s SPECTRE. Coming up, Waltz is part of the ensemble cast of David Yates’ The Legend of Tarzan. Based on the classic Edgar Rice Burroughs jungle hero, The Legend of Tarzan also stars Alexander Skarsgård, Margot Robbie, Samuel L. Jackson and Djimon Hounsou and is slated to hit the big screen July 1, 2016.
