As expected, KPop Demon Hunters won the Golden Globe for the best animated film last night—and also for best original song. The film’s writers don’t need to coast on that win, though; they’ve already got their next high-profile project. The Hollywood Reporter brought the news that writers Danya Jimenez and Hannah McMechan have signed on to Tim Burton’s remake of Attack of the Fifty Foot Woman.
The remake was announced in 2024. At that point, Gone Girl author Gillian Flynn was reportedly writing the script.
The original Fifty Foot Woman was written by Mark Hanna and directed by Nathan Juran, and released in 1958. It follows a wealthy socialite who gets very, very big after an alien encounter—and she has some bones to pick with her cheating ex.
“We’re obsessed with the idea of a fifty-foot woman wreaking havoc because a man did her dirty,” the writers said in a statement. “We have a feeling a lot of people will relate.”
Jimenez and McMechan already have a few other projects lined up, including a series called A Really Bad Person and a queer Western feature film. They are also writers on the upcoming Apple TV series Brothers, and they’re working on Comedy Central’s Ren & Stimpy reboot.
No release date has been announced for Attack of the Fifty Foot Woman.[end-mark]
