Apparently today has been deemed Tim Burton News Day. Hot on the heels of the Beetlejuice sequel announcement comes word that the director is attached to remake 1958 cult classic Attack Of The 50Ft Woman. Gone Girl writer Gillian Flynn is on board to write the script.
Warner Bros. is backing the new movie, which will take on the sci-fi concept anew. The original, directed by Nathan Hertz and made for a reported $88K, starred Allison Hayes as an abused socialite who grows to giant size because of an alien encounter and an aborted murder attempt. She goes after her cheating husband with revenge on her mind.
It certainly sounds like something Burton can have fun with, and Flynn is no stranger to stories of complicated male/female dynamics.

Attack Of The Fifty Foot Woman Remake Coming From Tim Burton And ... Gone Girl Author Gillian Flynn?
If you've been missing the acidic wit of "Gone Girl" and "Sharp Objects" author Gillian Flynn lately, don't worry: she's reportedly back in the screenwriting game, this time with a script that's set to become a Tim Burton movie, per Variety.
According to the outlet, Burton is set to direct a new version of "Attack of the Fifty Foot Woman" penned by Flynn, with Andrew Mittman and Tommy Harper producing and Kai Dolbashian on board as an EP. Mittman and Harper worked with Burton on Netflix's smash hit "Wednesday," and hopefully the unlikely director-screenwriter duo will bring new life to the story (which comes from the 1958 B-movie of the same name).
Apparently, it's unclear as of yet how much Burton and Flynn's "Attack of the Fifty Foot Woman" will follow its predecessor, but it's worth noting that the Nathan Hertz-directed original featured a literal 50-foot woman who was...

Fresh off directing Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, which is headed to theaters in September, Deadline reports that Tim Burton is attached to direct a new take on Attack of the 50 Foot Woman.
Gillian Flynn (Gone Girl) will be writing the screenplay for the Warner Bros. project.
The original Attack of the 50 Foot Woman was directed by Nathan Hertz and released in 1958. The low-budget movie was remade by HBO in 1993, with Daryl Hannah in the title role.
Allison Hayes starred in the original as a socialite who grows to giant size because of an alien encounter and an aborted murder attempt. She then goes after her cheating husband.
Deadline notes, “Burton has delivered reimagined ’50s sci-fi movies before for a mass audience, that being 1996’s Mars Attacks (which was based on the Topps trading cards).”
