Poll of the Day > Is Rick Moranis dead?

(+) Yeah! (+)

or just his career?

Neither? Dude is an all star. Retired from Hollywood to take care of his dying wife and raise his children. I'm pretty sure he is still getting offers as well. There were rumors he was considering a part in a Disney project now that his kids are all grown, but checking his imdb it doesn't list any upcoming projects so he might have turned it down.

Edit: oh it was just his kids. His wife had already died at that point. But he did sign on to the Disney project it just hasn't started yet. Considering it was signed in 2020 it was probably covid related.

Oh I didn't know he was considering to rejoin the acting world. The man is such a ham

Dude did a spot-on Carlin impression

It's for Shrunk. Though project might be scrapped. Maybe he can come back for a Ghost Buster movie.

Little giants was my favorite ricky moranis flick. Him and Ed O'Neil were great together

but was just himself in one of them since it was a retrospective thing

he is also starring in the reboot(?) or sequel(?) to honey i shrunk the kids, but there's no like, release date for that

In February 2018, a reboot film was in development, with the project being courted for a Disney+ exclusive.[1] By March 2019, this changed when the project was announced to be a legacy sequel to the original trilogy. With The Walt Disney Studios developing the film for theatrical release, Josh Gad was announced to star as Nick Szalinski. The plot will reportedly center around Nick following in Wayne's footsteps and becoming a scientist and inventor. In the film, he accidentally shrinks his son and two daughters to five inches tall, leaving them to cope with their new sizes.[2] By December, Joe Johnston had entered early negotiations to return to the franchise as director.[3]

In January 2020, Rick Moranis entered early negotiations to come out of his acting retirement, and reprise his role as Wayne Szalinski. Johnston was confirmed to direct, with Todd Rosenberg set to write the script, from an original story by Gad, Ryan Dixon, Ian Helfer, and Jay Reiss. By February, Moranis had officially signed onto the project to reprise his role. David Hoberman and Todd Lieberman will serve as producers. The film will be a joint-venture production between Walt Disney Pictures and Mandeville Films, with Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures as the distributing company.[4] Principal photography was scheduled to begin in early 2020, with filming taking place in Toronto, as well as Atlanta, Georgia.[5][better source needed] In March of the same year, filming on all Disney projects were halted due to the COVID-19 pandemic and industry restrictions worldwide.[6] In November, Disney CEO Bob Chapek announced that filming on all movies that had been postponed by the coronavirus had resumed.[7] In June 2021, Gad stated that filming had not yet started and that he was hoping the shoot would begin in early 2022.[8] In January 2022, Gad stated that he and Moranis had once again started collaborating in preparation for the sequel.[9] In June 2023, Gad revealed on Twitter that the project has been put on hold indefinitely, although he expressed hope that production would resume in the near future.[10]

none of the three movies without him are very good anyways, so this isn't a huge loss.

Crappy CE memes should stay on CE.
