I wasn't sure what to expect at all but this looks incredible!
There's so much interaction and imagination on display and Banks looks like she's really being put through the wringer. The crew were going on about how this isn't going to focus much on the "wonder" aspect of her being tiny but it seems they're going to hit on a lot of it anyway.
My only disappointment of course is the lack of process and all but otherwise this looks like the real deal.
Yeah, but what they may consider the "wonder" aspect is very different than what we think it is. We saw brief snippets of SW moments in the trailer that will have extended scenes in the series. There's our "wonder," and it will truly be wonderful.
The way that the trailer phrases the time crunch, I predict if they're going to make a second season, there will be a event that will buy time for a cure.

This looks fucking amazing.
I'm not so sure. So far in the trailers, it just looks like the same stuff we have seen in other SW media. Oversize props, a lot of in the dollhouse where everything is her size, a handheld where she's just sitting on his open hand and others. All the same easy and cheap effects that they've always done.
I'd like to see stuff we haven't seen much of. Like a grasping handheld. And are there any villains that might want to capture her? Or a child that might think she's a doll or toy? That's the kind of thing I like to see in something like this. Granted, the trailers are probably from the 1st and 2nd episodes, so there is probably a lot more to see. Do you know if the episodes are an hour long or a half hour?
Anyway, I'm reserving my judgment and keeping my hopes in check until the series is out and I see more.
The SW riding on a model train is reminiscent of "The More Things Change" by Princess Parisa. (Except I think that Laura Longacre had shrunk small enough to ride inside the locomotive.)
Caught this clip from yesterday's episode of The Today Show.
Apparently, Jenna Bush Hager plays herself interviewing Lindy about a new book release. They show a quick image of Jenna and Lindy doing what looks like a split-screen television interview. I'm wondering if this is something Lindy has on her schedule while she happens to be six inches tall. That would be an interesting plot complication! She'd have to use her phone as a camera, but it's a good thing she's in a scaled-down version of her house so it looks somewhat normal. But what if there's something that looks just a little off? This could be a cool development.
Also, I notice that when Lindy first opens the door inside the dollhouse, her coffee mug has a picture of a cat on it, and the cat kinda looks like the one on the poster. That implies the cat is their pet and not one that Les purposely brings in to hunt her down like in the story.
The shrinking device looks like an innocent toy, he already had the dollhouse before shrinking her and they had marital problems.......was he planning on shrinking his wife from the beginning?

The shrinking device is a scale model prototype. It sprays the corn in the lab. Why he brings it home is the question. I don't think he intended to shrunk Lindy. I think he planned on shrinking something else to show he could do it and gain her approval/support.
As for the dollhouse, not entirely sure yet. They have a daughter Lulu, played by Sofia Rosinsky, so maybe it was a gift for her when she was younger.
This can be done easily because Elizabeth Banks will likely stay in that one spot and position for the scene, with her, the cushion and cat sculpture thing are surrounded by white.
That's not a cat sculpture. I think it's supposed to be an earbud for her phone.
That makes a lot of sense, I'm guessing the phone's speaker would be too loud

I'd just like to point out a moment: as Lindy picks up the model, Les looks like he kneels down off screen. As soon as his face isn't visible, there's a soft click or activation right when Lindy is sprayed with the shrinking formula. I agree to some extent he never meant to shrink her, but maybe it was like a flash of anger that pushes him to activate it but he realizes too late the seriousness of what he's done. I believe his concern is real but I'm betting there's that smoldering resentment like in the book that will come out later. Remember, despite her "support" their two shown interactions before the shrinking are her passively-aggressively mocking him.

I noticed him crouching/kneeling as well. I still don't think he intended to shrink her, even in a spur-of-the-moment passive-agressive way. I think the trailer is edited to give that suspicion, but I'd venture a bet he's reaching for a failsafe switch but gets to it too late.
It doesn't look as bad as the story. But it is rather implausible to have such a perfect doll house. Also the motion and timing is wrong. Most shrunk things move faster. (Think of a pendulum on a clock.)
Why would you want to shrink crops? Wouldn't you want to make them bigger?
Easier for transport. Shrink 'em at the farm, load lots on a truck, grow them back at their destination.
Or you can plant a lot in a smaller area.
I was thinking it has something to do with helping world hunger.
