Margot Robbie is in talks to star in Tim Burton’s Attack Of The Fifty Foot Woman remake.
The 35-year-old actress is being considered for the lead role in the 66-year-old filmmaker’s upcoming movie for Warner Bros and she would also produce the film through her LuckyChap production company, according to The Insneider.
The original 1958 classic is a science-fiction horror story which follows a wealthy heiress who grows into a giant after an alien encounter and goes on to take revenge on her cheating husband.
It was revealed last year that Burton would direct and produce the remake, with Gone Girl author Gillian Flynn writing the script.
Andrew Mittman and Tommy Harper are also producing with Kai Dolbashian as executive producer.
However, Variety reports that Flynn exited the project due to other commitment after writing a first draft of the screenplay and the producing team is currently searching for a new writer.
Margot’s involvement would depend on the final version of the script.
Meanwhile, Margot is set to produce the Ocean’s prequel through her LuckyChap Entertainment banner and will also star in the movie alongside her Barbie castmate Ryan Gosling.
While story details are unknown, it was reported the Ocean’s prequel would be set in 1960’s Europe and would feature Robbie and Gosling as the parents of Danny (George Clooney) and Debbie Ocean (Sandra Bullock).
Austin Powers filmmaker Jay Roach had initially been attached to direct the movie, but Twisters director Lee Isaac Chung is now helming the project.
The first Ocean’s 11 was released in 1960, and starred five members of the Rat Pack – Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr, Peter Lawford and Joey Bishop – as they tried to pull off the ultimate heist in Las Vegas.
In 2001, the franchise was rebooted by director Steven Soderbergh, and starred George Clooney, Julia Roberts, Matt Damon and Brad Pitt.
Ocean’s Eleven follows the charismatic thief Danny Ocean (Clooney) as he assembles a team of specialists to pull off an audacious heist: robbing three of Las Vegas’s biggest casinos in a single night.
As the elaborate plan unfolds, slick deception and personal stakes collide in a stylish game of risk and reward.
The film was followed by the sequels Ocean’s Twelve in 2004 and Ocean’s Thirteen in 2007.
Then in 2018, the series was continued with the all-female Ocean’s 8, which starred Sandra Bullock, Cate Blanchett, Anne Hathaway, Rihanna and Helena Bonham Carter.
