Tim Burton is teaming up with Gone Girl writer Gillian Flynn for a remake of the independent 1958 sci-fi classic Attack of the 50 Foot Woman.
Per Deadline, Burton is set to direct with Flynn crafting the screenplay. The original black-and-white film stared Allison Hayes as Nancy Fowler Archer, a wealthy heiress who has a close encounter with an alien (in one of those classic metal spaceships no less) and becomes a giantess. The cult classic was part of a slew of sci-fi films about giant humans including The Amazing Colossal Man and War of the Colossal Beast.
