Margot Robbie Reportedly to Star, Produce Tim Burton Attack of Fifty Foot Woman Remake

Margot Robbie is set to star in and produce a remake of the cult classic 1958 sci-fi film Attack of the 50 Foot Woman, directed by Tim Burton. The film follows a wealthy woman who grows to enormous size after an alien encounter and seeks revenge on those who wronged her. Gillian Flynn initially wrote the screenplay, but due to other commitments, a new writer is being sought for revisions. Robbie's involvement, following her success in Barbie, adds significant momentum to the project, which is in development at Warner Bros. Burton, known for his unique visual style, remains attached despite previously expressing caution about confirming projects early. The remake aims to reinterpret the original’s themes of female empowerment and rage, updating the story for modern audiences.
