Jason Reitman and Helen Estabrook are executive producers with Vallée’s producing partner and manager Nathan Ross.

Jean-Marc Valleé has described the film as “a powerful and touching story, written with a strong and sincere desire to try to understand the human psyche, what makes us so unique, so special, what makes us love. This is a script of a rare quality, of a beautiful humanity.”

New Director & Writer for ‘Ant-Man’
Marvel has announced that Peyton Reed has been assigned to direct the new superhero movie ‘Ant-Man’ with Adam McKay to help script it.

Marvel website describes the plot as such: “Armed with the astonishing ability to shrink in scale but increase in strength, con-man Scott Lang (Rudd) must embrace his inner-hero and help his mentor, Dr. Hank Pym (Douglas), protect the secret behind his spectacular Ant-Man suit from a new generation of towering threats. Against seemingly insurmountable obstacles, Pym and Lang must plan and pull off a heist that will save the world.”

Evangeline Lilly, Michael Pena, Corey Stoll and Patrick Wilson are supporting cast members.
