Margot Robbie Tim Burton Team Up for Sci-Fi Remake
Margot Robbie to Star in Tim Burton’s Remake of Attack of the 50 Foot Woman
LOS ANGELES — Margot Robbie is set to headline a modern remake of the 1958 sci-fi cult classic Attack of the 50 Foot Woman, with Tim Burton attached as director. The upcoming project is being developed by Warner Bros. Pictures, according to The Insneider.
Robbie will not only take on the film’s towering lead role but will also serve as a producer through her company, LuckyChap Entertainment. The project marks a continuation of her growing partnership with Warner Bros., following a multi-year production deal signed last year.
Known for his visually eccentric style, Burton will reimagine the original storyline — which follows a woman who grows to enormous size after an alien encounter and seeks revenge on her cheating husband. The screenplay is being penned by Gillian Flynn, best known for her best-selling novel Gone Girl.
Robbie’s involvement signals another bold move in her career, adding to a resume that already includes standout roles in Barbie, The Wolf of Wall Street, I, Tonya, and Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood. She also gained widespread recognition for playing Harley Quinn in multiple DC films.
In addition to Attack of the 50 Foot Woman, Robbie is attached to several other upcoming projects, including a new adaptation of Wuthering Heights in which she stars as Catherine Earnshaw, and the feature A Big Bold Beautiful Journey.
Meanwhile, fellow Hollywood star Sydney Sweeney recently addressed fan speculation about her replacing Robbie in a potential Barbie sequel. While she called the opportunity “too good to pass up,” Sweeney clarified she wouldn’t want to take over the title role made iconic by Robbie. The Euphoria actor is currently busy with her slate of projects, including The Housemaid and the third season of her hit HBO series.
With Attack of the 50 Foot Woman, Robbie continues to flex her strength both on screen and behind the scenes — once again proving she’s a creative force to watch in Hollywood.
