While we are currently waiting for the second season of Netflix’s megahit ‘Wednesday’, cult director Tim Burton is also in the starting blocks with the sequel to his classic ‘Beetlejuice’, which is finally set to hit theaters on September 5, 2024. However, that is apparently no reason for Burton to take a breather.
Because according to the director has now set its sights on a true classic and plans to remake the B-movie.”Attack of the 20 meter woman” from 1958. He receives support from Gillian Flynn, who is responsible for bestsellers such as ‘Gone Girl – The Perfect Victim’ and ‘Sharp Objects’, which were successfully adapted into films in theaters and on HBO. Flynn will write the script.
That’s what ‘Attack of the 20 meter woman’ is about
In the cult classic, wealthy Nancy Archer (Allison Hayes) meets aliens and grows from that moment to a height of no less than 20 meters. When she catches her husband (William Hudson) with another woman (Yvette Vickers), the 20-meter woman seeks revenge.
The film was directed by Nathan Juran in 1958 with a budget estimated at $65,000 to $90,000 and was initially shown in the US as a double feature with “War Of The Satellites” as a classic B-movie in theaters. The film ultimately grossed approximately $480,000 at the box office.
‘Attack of the 20 Meter Woman’ is now considered a cult classic in film history and has already received three remakes – including one HBO film adaptation from 1993 starring Daryl Hannah – while the B-movie is also referred to in many other films and series. Information about the casting of the Tim Burton film adaptation is not yet known and we will have to wait a while before we can expect a start date.
