Tim Burton's 'Attack of the Fifty Foot Woman' potentially sees Margot Robbie in the lead role, with production company LuckyChap reportedly in discussions to be involved.
In an exciting turn of events, Margot Robbie is in early discussions to star in and produce Tim Burton's remake of the classic science-fiction horror film, "Attack of the Fifty Foot Woman." This reimagining of the 1958 original is being produced by Warner Bros., the studio that had a successful collaboration with Burton in 2024 with the release of "Beetlejuice Beetlejuice," the long-awaited sequel to his 1988 classic, which grossed an impressive $452 million globally.
Robbie's involvement would be a significant boost to the film's development, but the production still faces some pre-production hurdles before filming can begin. As of early August 2025, the discussions about her dual role as lead actress and producer remain ongoing without a closed agreement.
The remake of "Attack of the Fifty Foot Woman" follows a wealthy heiress who grows into a giant after an alien encounter and exacts revenge on her cheating husband. The film is being directed and produced by Tim Burton, who previously collaborated with writer Gillian Flynn, but she has since exited the project due to scheduling conflicts, necessitating a new screenwriter.
Meanwhile, LuckyChap, Robbie's production company, has signed a multi-year, first-look feature film deal with Warner Bros. to collaborate on future projects. LuckyChap partners Tom Ackerley and Josey McNamara are also producing the remake.
Interestingly, Robbie's next film is WB's "Wuthering Heights," an adaptation of Emily Bronte's classic, set to release in February 2023. The Oscar-nominated actress is known for her versatile roles in films like "I, Tonya," "Bombshell," and "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood."
In addition to the "Attack of the Fifty Foot Woman" remake, LuckyChap is also developing an "Ocean's Eleven" movie at Warner Bros., with "Twisters" director Lee Isaac Chung in talks to direct.
As of now, Warner Bros. had no comment on Margot Robbie's potential involvement in the remake of "Attack of the Fifty Foot Woman." We will keep you updated on any developments in this exciting project.
