Jack the Giant Killer Movie

Director Bryan Singer will helm a new movie adaptation of the popular folk tale Jack the Giant Killer for Warner Bros. For those who don't know, Jack the Giant Killer is a British fairy tale about a plucky Cornish lad who slays a number of giants during King Arthur's reign. The Jack The Giant Killer movie will be a dark retelling of "Jack and the Beanstalk". There's no official release date yet.

Jack The Giant Killer‘s plot synopsis: “A modern day fairy tale in which the long-standing peace between men and giants is threatened, as a young farmer (Nicholas Hoult) leads an expedition into the giants’ kingdom in hopes of rescuing a kidnapped princess (Eleanor Tomlinson).” The Jack The Giant Killer story has been filmed many times, going all the way back to 1962 version directed by Nathan Juran and starring Kerwin Mathews, Judi Meredith, and Torin Thatcher.

This version of Jack The Giant Killer also stars Ian McShane, Bill Nighy, Stanley Tucci, John Kassir, Lee Boardman, Christopher Villiers, Russell Balogh, Caroline Hayes, and David Frost. Look at the first Ewan McGregor, Eddie Marsan Jack the Giant Killer set photos below and leave your thoughts on them. Jack the Giant Killer will be released in theaters in the US on June 15, 2012.

Anyway more details about the movie Jack The Giant Killer soon!

“When a princess is kidnapped, a long-standing peace between men and giants becomes threatened, and a young farmer is given an opportunity to lead a dangerous expedition to the giant kingdom to rescue her.”
Jack the Giant Killer is supposedly a longtime dream project for Bryan Singer, and the screenplay was co-written by Chris McQuarrie, who wrote The Usual Suspects and Valkyrie, so you know that he and Singer get along well. Nicholas Hoult, who Singer helped get cast in X-Men: First Class as Beast (Singer is still a producer on X-Men) will be playing Jack, and there are rumors of Ewan McGregor joining the cast. I hope he’s a mentor for Jack, and teaches him the ways of the force. I mean, the beanstalk.

I actually like the concept of the story, although I read the comic Fables, which is a better way to update and do something new/different with these fairytale characters. Jack the Giant Killer is the main reason why Bryan Singer didn’t direct X-Men: First Class, which he was reportedly interested in, but he was under contract to do Jack the Giant Killer. So if X-Men sucks, we can all boycott this. I’ll bring posters, you bring hot cocoa.

Credited Cast:

- Nicholas Hoult as Jack, a young farmer who leads the expedition to rescue the princess
- Eleanor Tomlinson as the princess who is kidnapped by giants
- Stanley Tucci as the villain, an adviser to the king with designs on usurping power
