Margot Robbie will take on the towering lead role in Attack of the 50 Foot Woman, a bold new remake directed by Tim Burton. The project, backed by Warner Bros., reimagines the 1958 cult classic with a contemporary twist, blending sci-fi spectacle with Burton’s trademark gothic style. Robbie is also producing the film through her LuckyChap banner, reinforcing her growing influence in shaping female-led genre projects.
Originally scripted by Gone Girl writer Gillian Flynn, the screenplay is now being revised by a yet-to-be-announced writer, as the project shifts into more active development. The story follows Nancy Archer, a wealthy heiress who transforms into a giantess after a close encounter with an alien entity—set to be reinterpreted through a modern lens.
While no official release date has been set, the announcement has already generated buzz among both genre fans and Burton devotees.
