‘The Nightmare Before Christmas’ creator 🧸 and ‘’ writer Gillian Flynn are tackling a remake of 'Attack of the Fifty Foot Woman’ for Warner Brothers.
Burton is directing the upcoming film from a script by Flynn. The scie♊nce-fiction horror story follows aꦡ wealthy heiress who grows into a giant after an alien encounter and exacts revenge on her cheating husband, reports Variety.
It’s unclear how closely this new take will follow the original 1958 movie, starri🌄ng Allison Haye♏s, William Hudson and Yvette Vickers.
The first film reportedly carried a budget of just $88,000, so it’s reasonable to 🃏assume the remake will have a slightly higher price tag.
The project retea༒ms Burton with Warner Bros., where he is currently working on the seq🌱uel to his 1988 movie ‘Beetlejuice’.
As per Variety, the follow-up film about a pesky poltergeist, newly and fittingly titled ‘Beetlej𝔍uice Beetlejuice’, will be released in theatres on September 6. His other directing credits include ‘Edward Scissorhands’, ‘Alice in Wonderland’, ‘Charlie and the Choc💃olate Factory’ and ‘Planet of the Apes’.
Flynn, meanwhile, was recently hired to adapt her novel ‘Dark Places’ for a limited series at HBO. He wrote the screenplay for 2014 thriller ‘Gone Girl’. She also turned her 2006 book ‘Sharp Objects’ into the miniseries of the same name, starri💯ng Amy Adams.
