Tim Burton's Attack Of The 50ft Woman

[MikeSTZillak]

"The Nightmare Before Christmas" director Tim Burton and "Gone Girl" writer Gillian Flynn are tackling a remake of "Attack of the Fifty Foot Woman" for Warner Bros.

Burton is directing the upcoming film from a script by Flynn. The science-fiction horror story follows a wealthy heiress who grows into a giant after an alien encounter and exacts revenge on her cheating husband. It's unclear how closely this new take will follow the original 1958 movie, starring Allison Hayes, William Hudson and Yvette Vickers. The first film reportedly carried a budget of just $88,000 — so it's reasonable to assume the remake will have a slightly higher price tag.

In addition to directing, Burton is producing "Attack of the Fifty Foot Woman" with Andrew Mittman and Tommy Harper. Kai Dolbashian served as executive producer. Burton is repped by WME. Flynn is repped by WME, Theresa Kang and Jackoway Austen.

NGL, I do have high hopes of Burton returning to more 50's style Sci-Fi. Love Mars Attacks.

Could be fun! I like MA, too.

Will be interesting to see if they will do it as a parody/comedy, or a serious version.

I'm thinking parody/comedy.

I'm thinking parody/comedy.

I'd say that was a safe bet.

This is the kind of project perfect for Tim Burton. I hope he does it just like Mars Attacks! and makes me wonder who he hasn't  in more projects like this one.
