Re: If Attack of the 50 Foot Woman gets a reboot.
 

After all Nancy was 70' by the climax of the ATFFW '93 so I agree why does she have to be 50'. I don't think she was 50' either the '58 or '93 versions.

Re: If Attack of the 50 Foot Woman gets a reboot.
 

Never happen. The original movie plays on the "fear" of an empowered woman. In this day's climate, trying to make an empowered woman a "monster" would kill a movie long before it ever began.

Re: If Attack of the 50 Foot Woman gets a reboot.
 

That's why Nancy was going to be more of protagonist in the monsterverse.

Re: If Attack of the 50 Foot Woman gets a reboot.
 

And then there's that. It would take a skillful writer to not date the film by inserting obvious #MeToo references.

Re: If Attack of the 50 Foot Woman gets a reboot.
 

That's why the reboot could remove Harry, and Honey, and change Nancy's backstory, personality, and her introduction to fit her in the Monsterverse without the sjw.

Re: If Attack of the 50 Foot Woman gets a reboot.
 

I wondered where that thought went when I posted (above)...

Absolutely. Give it a modern sort of update. So, I'm going off-topic and suggesting non-monster-verse ideas.


For where the growth scene takes place, have the kind of house be more reasonable and average. Take out the aliens and have her growth the result of unexpected biochemistry. Keeps it more mysterious and unpredictable. Have her outfit again more modern, just as long as it has no less rippage-potential as the '93 attire (i.e. buttons popping off).

Also, specifically with the start of the initial growth, have her ring tighten causing just a bit of pain but before it pops off change the sequence. Her toes are seen to push against the fronts of her shoes making telltale indentations, her chest pushes out just starting to pull the shirt buttons apart with an ominous groaning sound of stretching fabric, if she's sitting in a chair the chair also begins to make straining sounds from her slow mass increase. Then have the ring pop off with force, soon followed by say a watchband as the growth-clothes bursting begins to speed up. Her shoes/laces start to come apart, a button here, rip there, another button or two, her pants button, shoulder seam, feet force their way out of the fronts of her shoes, etc.

Really play up the psychology and get your money's worth.

So pretty much Ginormica without the housewife subplot.

Re: If Attack of the 50 Foot Woman gets a reboot.
 

Yep plus Nancy could easily be the Captain Marvel/Wonder Woman of the Monsterverse.

Re: If Attack of the 50 Foot Woman gets a reboot.
 

No monsters, no involvement with the current Monsterverse. Just a self-contained story, where Nancy grows, and tries to find her place in the world with her new height and strength--both emotionally and physically. She could be played by either Scarlett Johansson or Charlize Theron.

Re: If Attack of the 50 Foot Woman gets a reboot.
 

Not sure why you replied to me.

I would add that, there should be a shot of her underwear straining to stay in one piece.

I think Scarlett Johansson is over used and I know nothing about Charlize Theron. Though I am uncertain who I would pick.

Re: If Attack of the 50 Foot Woman gets a reboot.
 

Out of the two actresses I picked earlier I settled on Alison Brie and have been thinking about the movie with her. So thank you for this mental image :D

Re: If Attack of the 50 Foot Woman gets a reboot.
 

Because I liked your idea that I quoted, whether it has to do with the monster-verse part of this discussion or not.
What I meant by wondering where the idea went, was you took the words right out of my mouth.
I could've said more about the details when I first commented in this thread, but I didn't. You did.

Touche!

Amen.


The honor is still mine.
;)

At the moment, I've settled on AnnaSophia Robb.
Such a beautiful face and smile, plus a bubble butt to die for..
Wash. Rinse. Repeat. Lol
