Warner Bros. Pictures has enlisted the talents of 'KPop Demon Hunters' screenwriters Danya Jimenez and Hannah McMechan to pen the screenplay for Tim Burton's highly anticipated adaptation of "Attack of the Fifty Foot Woman". This classic 1958 science-fiction horror movie follows the journey of a wealthy heiress who grows into a giant after an alien encounter, exacting revenge on her cheating husband.
Burton is not only set to direct but also produce the film alongside Andrew Mittman and Tommy Harper. The project has been taken under LuckyChap's wing, with Margot Robbie, Tom Ackerley, and Josey McNamara at the helm as producers. Morgan Begg oversees the development of this massive IP.
Jimenez and McMechan's writing credits are no strangers to success, having penned the critically acclaimed animated film "KPop Demon Hunters" for Sony Animation and Netflix. The duo met while attending Loyola Marymount University, where they received an idea from fellow screenwriter Nicole Perlman that eventually became their breakout hit. Jimenez shared with Variety last year that writing "KPop Demon Hunters" was a journey that took years to complete, with the team going through various highs and lows.
The success of "KPop Demon Hunters", which has become Netflix's most-watched film of all time, catapulted Jimenez and McMechan onto the screenwriting radar. Since its release last summer, the movie has broken records on Billboard 200, earning the duo a nomination for three awards at this year's Golden Globes.
Jimenez and McMechan are represented by WME and Mosaic. Their latest collaboration with Burton promises to be an exciting project, given their proven track record in crafting compelling stories that resonate with audiences worldwide.
