Margot Robbie and Tim Burton could join forces for an ambitious remake of the sci-fi classic ‘Attack of the 50 Foot Woman’

Margot Robbie and Tim Burton are reportedly working on an ambitious science fiction remake that reimagines a cult classic through a gothic lens and a contemporary perspective.

The cinematic world may be on the verge of receiving one of the most anticipated collaborations of recent years: Margot Robbie and Tim Burton are said to be teaming up for a remake of ‘Attack of the 50 Foot Woman’, the 1958 sci-fi classic. According to recent reports, the Australian actress is in advanced negotiations to both star in and produce this modern reinterpretation of the iconic tale of a woman who grows to colossal proportions after an alien encounter.

The project, still in development, would be directed by Tim Burton, bringing his unmistakable gothic aesthetic and visually dramatic approach. The formula promises a balance of nostalgia and originality, tailored for contemporary audiences accustomed to bold visuals and multi-layered narratives.

Through her production company, LuckyChap, Robbie aims to transform what was once a B-movie into a work of depth, satire, and modern relevance. Following the global success of Barbie, her involvement hints at a version that will challenge traditional female archetypes with a more critical lens. Although no filming date has been confirmed, the script is reportedly undergoing revisions after a first draft by Gillian Flynn.

With two major names attached and a story ready for reinterpretation, this new version of ‘Attack of the 50 Foot Woman’ is shaping up to be one of Warner Bros.’ most ambitious projects in the coming years.
