This Is What ANT-MAN Would Look Like as a 1950s B-Movie

At the press junket for Ant-Man, director Peyton Reed mentioned that he went back and watched all of the shrinking films in years past for research:

"There’s a long cinematic history of shrinking: The Incredible Shrinking Man, The Incredible Shrinking Woman, Honey I Shrunk The Kids, Honey I Shrunk The Audience pre-show at Disney, all of them. But we were making the definitive shrinking movie of 2015, and the drum I kept banging was ‘It’s gotta look photorealistic.’"

The idea of cinematic shrinking was popularized in the 1957 movie The Incredible Shrinking Man, which, if you haven't seen it, would be cool to check out before you see Marvel's riff on the concept. The team at Vulture have put together a brief fake trailer imagining Ant-Man as a 1950s B-movie and using some quick sequences from The Incredible Shrinking Man spliced with footage from Ant-Man's trailers. Gotta love that Vincent Price narration, too. Check it out:
