KPop Demon Hunters screenwriters Danya Jimenez and Hannah McMechan are following up their golden hit with a huge gig.
THR has learned that that duo has signed on to pen Tim Burton‘s remake of Attack of the Fifty Foot Woman for Warner Bros.
Gillian Flynn (Gone Girl) wrote an earlier draft of the script, as reported when news of the film broke back in 2024.
Burton is attached to direct the reimagining of the 1958 sci-fi horror cult classic, in which an abused socialite becomes a giant after an alien encounter and exacts revenge on her cheating husband.
“We’re obsessed with the idea of a fifty-foot woman wreaking havoc because a man did her dirty,” said Jimenez and McMechan. “We have a feeling a lot of people will relate.”
Burton will produce along with Andrew Mittman (“Wednesday,” Together) and Tommy Harper (“Wednesday,” Top Gun: Maverick).
LuckyChap (Promising Young Woman, Birds of Prey) is also on board to produce and develop, with Morgan Begg is overseeing the project. Kai Dolbashian (Together) is executive producing.
Christopher Guest previously remade Attack of the 50 Ft. Woman for HBO in 1993, with Daryl Hannah in the title role.
