Exciting news is emerging as a prominent star is eyeing the major title role in Tim Burton‘s upcoming cinematic venture. Margot Robbie is currently in preliminary discussions to take on the lead in the highly anticipated Attack of the Fifty-Foot Woman, a modern remake of the legendary 1958 cult classic. This film marks the inaugural collaboration between the visionary director of Beetlejuice and the acclaimed star of Wolf of Wall Street. As reported by Variety, Robbie is also looking to step into a producer’s role for this exciting project, adding a layer of creative influence to her participation.

Robbie is no stranger to genre films, showcasing her versatility and talent in various roles, including her portrayal of a character that is “larger than life.” Notably, the allegorical opening scene of <em>Barbie</em> features her as a towering version of the iconic doll, effectively blocking out the sun. Following her stunning performance in that billion-dollar blockbuster, Robbie is set to star alongside Colin Farrell in the romantic fantasy A Big Bold Beautiful Journey this fall. Additionally, she will feature in Wuthering Heights, an adaptation directed by Emerald Fennell, slated for release next year. Should Robbie officially become the lead in Attack of the Fifty-Foot Woman, the producers will initiate the search for a new screenwriter. The initial draft of the script was crafted by Gillian Flynn, known for Gone Girl, but she has reportedly exited the project due to scheduling conflicts, necessitating a fresh creative direction.
