The 50 Foot Woman is getting ready to attack again!<\/p>\n

Or rather, director Tim Burton is readying to possibly direct a remake of the 1958 science-fiction movie Attack Of The Fifty Foot Woman<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The Hollywood Reporter<\/a> is stating that the director is attached to a new iteration of the film currently being developed at Warner Brothers. The screenplay will be provided by Gone Girl<\/strong> writer Gillian Flynn.<\/p>\n

Although he has a certain idiosyncratic visual style, Burton seems like an interesting choice due to his previously expressed fascination with 1950s design as seen in Edward Scissorhands<\/strong> while his 199- film Mars Attacks!<\/strong> pays homage to the science-fiction films of that decade.<\/p>\n

Like a lot of 1950s genre B-movies, the film’s plotline is right there in the title. After a late-night encounter with an alien in the desert, a wealthy woman slowly grows to 50 feet tall and takes her revenge on her husband who was trying to steal her fortune.<\/p>\n

This will not be the first remake of 50 Ft Woman<\/strong>. In 1993, Darryl Hannah starred in a new version for HBO directed by Christopher Guest. Two years later, exploitation director Fred Olen Ray produced a parody called Attack Of The 60 Foot Centerfold<\/strong>. In 2012 Roger Corman released his own parody Attack Of The 50 Foot Cheerleader<\/strong> starring former Miss Georgia Teen USA Jena Sims.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
