The iconic director returns to his genre roots, reimagining the classic sci-fi horror with a modern twist.

Tim Burton is set to direct a remake of the 1958 sci-fi horror film 'Attack of the 50 Foot Woman,' partnering with 'Gone Girl' writer Gillian Flynn for the screenplay.
The project, announced by Warner Bros., is described as a reimagining of the original film, which featured a woman becoming a giant after an alien encounter.
Burton's involvement marks a return to his roots in genre-based works, reminiscent of his earlier films such as 'Mars Attacks!' and 'Beetlejuice.'
