Now that it has been out that Tim Burton along with the writers will work on the remake, many might wonder about the film’s release. However, as per current reports, there has been no release date announced for the new film, and neither has Warner Bros. shared any details on the cast.

Since Allison Hayes and William Hudson were highly praised for their work in Attack of the 50-Foot Woman, fans are expecting an actress as talented as Hayes to secure the titular role. However, this upcoming film isn’t the first remake of the 1958 film, as director Christopher Guest and writer Joseph Dougherty already released one in 1993.

Guest’s film didn’t receive a theatrical release and earned mixed reviews from viewers. While many praised the director for taking a satirical approach to the film, others believed that it wasn’t entertaining enough. Now that Tim Burton has taken the director’s seat for the upcoming film, it’s safe to say that the remake will surely benefit from Burton’s creativity and his knack of making interesting sci-fi projects.
