Fun fact: Reese Witherspoon has not worked with director Alexander Payne since their screamingly funny black comedy Election, way back in 1999. Another fun fact: Reese Witherspoon has never worked alongside Matt Damon. (Can you believe that? That seems hard to believe, but look, this IMDb search confirms it.) You can probably guess where this is going, as both of these fun facts are about to get turned on their tiny, trivial heads with the addition of Witherspoon to the cast of Payne’s next feature, Downsizing.

Deadline reports that Witherspoon will star alongside Damon in the new film (again, for the first time! Again, how can that be true?), which sees Damon as a dude who “realizes he would have a better life if he were to shrink himself.” Damon joined the feature back in November.

There’s no word yet on what Witherspoon’s role will be—we’re guessing love interest, perhaps also of the tiny variety, though we’d love to see her playing a government type responsible for the program that shrinks down consumers like Damon, who are looking to cut back—but we certainly hope that she and Payne will tap back into the giddy, Type-A madness of Election’s Tracy Flick. Witherspoon has rarely been as good as she was in her breakout role, and we are eager to see what else Payne can pull out of the now-Oscar-winner nearly two decades on from their first collaboration.

Deadline does, however, caution that “the timing is the tricky thing here for Witherspoon, who’s squarely in the Oscar mix for her performance as star and producer of Wild.” (You go, girl, get another one.) Moreover, the film can’t get started until Damon films another entry into the Jason Bourne series. 

That may sound like a lot of time, but hey, in the grand scheme of things, it is actually very... tiny.
