Margot Robbie to Star in Tim Burton's Giant Woman Revenge Story
Margot Robbie is set to star in Tim Burton's remake of the 1958 sci-fi classic, Attack of the Fifty Foot Woman. This isn't just any remake—it's being penned by the writers behind the global hit KPop Demon Hunters.
The Team Behind the Project
- Director & Producer: Tim Burton
- Producers: Andrew Mittman, Tommy Harper, LuckyChap Entertainment
- Executive Producers: Kai Dolbashian, Morgan Begg (LuckyChap)
The Original Story
The original film follows a wealthy woman who transforms into a giant and seeks revenge on her cheating husband and his mistress. The remake, which began development in 2024, initially had a script by Gone Girl's Gillian Flynn. Now, the writers of KPop Demon Hunters are bringing their unique vision to the project.

A Fresh Take on Girl Power
The writers see this remake as a fresh take on girl power. A giant woman seeking revenge on her cheating husband and his affair partner is both funny and empowering. The theme is relatable to many who have dealt with infidelity.
Why This Remake Stands Out
The idea of a fifty-foot woman causing chaos due to a man's betrayal is intriguing. With Margot Robbie in the lead and Tim Burton directing, this remake is shaping up to be something special.
