The Aussie star’s involvement will depend on the final version of the script.

Margot Robbie is in talks to star in Tim Burton’s Attack Of The Fifty Foot Woman remake.

The 35-year-old Australian actress is being considered for the lead role in the director’s upcoming movie for Warner Bros, and she would also produce the film through her LuckyChap production company, according to The InSneider.

The 1958 movie 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 reported 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 commitments after writing a first draft of the screenplay. The production team is searching for a new writer.

Robbie’s involvement would depend on the final version of the script.
