Production

During the seven-year hiatus between the releases of Sideways (2004) and The Descendants (2011), Alexander Payne and Jim Taylor spent two and a half years on the script for Downsizing, which was originally meant to have been the director's next film after Sideways. However, the project was superseded by the productions of The Descendants and Nebraska (2013).[4] On November 5, 2014, it was officially announced that Downsizing will be Payne's next film after Nebraska.[5] 20th Century Fox was originally going to distribute the film until October 2, 2015, when it was announced that Paramount Pictures acquired distribution rights.[6] On January 8, 2015, it was announced that Annapurna Pictures will finance and produce the film.[7] Payne's production company, Ad Hominem Enterprises, is also involved with the production.[5] The film is expected to be released in 2017.[7] Payne and Mark Johnson would produce the film, whose script was co-written by Payne and Jim Taylor.[2]
