KPOP DEMON HUNTERS Screenwriters Attached to Write Tim Burton's ATTACK OF THE FIFTY FOOT WOMAN Remake

Kpop Dedmon Hunters Screenwriters To Write Tim Burton Attack Of The Fifty Foot Woman Remake

"KPop Demon Hunters" screenwriters Danya Jimenez and Hannah McMechan have signed on to pen the script to Tim Burton's remake of the classic 1958 B-movie sci-fi horror "Attack of the Fifty Foot Woman". The original film's plot follows a wealthy heiress who grows into a giant because of an alien encounter and exacts revenge on her cheating husband. Margot Robbie is attached to play the titular giant woman.

Burton is also producing the Warner Bros. film alongside Andrew Mittman and Tommy Harper. "Gone Girl" author Gillian Flynn penned an earlier draft of the script. Margot Robbie, Tom Ackerley and Josey McNamara's production company LuckyChap is on board to produce and develop. Morgan Begg, the company's director of development, is overseeing the project. Kai Dolbashian serves as executive producer.

Jimenez and McMechan said the following in a statement: "We're obsessed with the idea of a fifty-foot woman wreaking havoc because a man did her dirty. We have a feeling a lot of people will relate".

Since the release of "KPop Demon Hunters" last summer, the film has become a worldwide phenomenon, ranking as Netflix's most-watched film of all time. Its songs broke records on Billboard 200, and the movie won two trophies at this year's Golden Gobes for Best Animated Motion Picture and Best Original Song.

Margot Robbie to Star in Tim Burton's ATTACK OF THE FIFTY FOOT WOMAN Remake

Three-time Oscar nominee Margot Robbie ("Barbie", "Suicide Squad", "Once Upon a Time... in Hollywood") is in early talks to star in Tim Burton's remake of "Attack of the Fifty Foot Woman" for Warner Bros. If the deal goes through, Robbie would also produce the new film with LuckyChap partners Tom Ackerley and Josey McNamara.

The filmmaker's remake is a reimagining of the 1958 sci-fi horror movie, which follows a wealthy heiress who grows into a giant after an alien encounter and exacts revenge on her cheating husband. Burton will direct and produce alongside Andrew Mittman and Tommy Harper. Kai Dolbashian serves as executive producer.

The first draft of the script was penned by "Gone Girl" writer Gillian Flynn, who has since exited the project due to other commitments. The producing team is currently searching for a new writer.

Warner Bros and Robbie's LuckyChap previously worked together on the box-office hit "Barbie" ($1.45 billion worldwide). Robbie's company has signed a multi-year, first-look feature film deal with WB to collaborate on future projects.

Robbie is also set to stars in Warner's "Wuthering Heights" adaptation written and directed by Emerald Fennell ("Promising Young Woman"), which will be released February 2026. Meanwhile, LuckyChap is also developing an "Ocean's Eleven" movie at WB that will be directed by Lee Isaac Chung ("Minari", "Twisters").
