Though it’s easy to suggest a nine month move means a film’s in trouble, it’s hard to know what to make of Warner Bros.’s decision to move Bryan Singer‘s Jack the Giant Killer to March 2013. It’s much easier to judge their decision to scrap a release date on David Dobkin‘s Arthur & Lancelot, which puts the film into limbo.
Three of the big films of 2012 are going to reinterpretations of fairy tales, but the one with the best credentials is Jack the Giant Killer. It comes from director Bryan Singer and the script was (at least partly) written by Christopher McQuarrie – and these guys were the team behind The Usual Suspects. The film stars Nicholas Hoult – last seen in X-Men: First Class - as Jack, and the trailer feels like it should have laughs. Check it out…
Jack the Giant Killer has had a blitzkrieg of casting news lately, as Bryan Singer’s “adult fairy tale” (not what you’re thinking) snowballs its way to the big screen. And today, another piece of the puzzle fell into place.
Bryan Singer and New Line Cinema have found the leading lady for their upcoming film, Jack the Giant Killer. According to Deadline, Eleanor Tomlinson has been cast opposite Nicholas Hoult who plays the title character. This is a huge deal for the British actress, who beat out hundreds of girls to land this coveted role.
We recently learned that Bryan Singer had finally found the young actor to headline his film Jack the Giant Killer. Nicholas Hoult landed the coveted title role and now according to an announcement via New Line Cinema, Scottish actor Ewan McGregor is in negotiations to join him. Singer, Hoult, and now McGregor? That’s an unbeatable combination. We’re in!
Nicholas Hoult is having a great week. The young actor appeared in the premiere trailer for 20th Century Fox’s X-Men First Class, and now he’s landed the lead in another tentpole production — Jack the Giant Killer. According to Deadline, the former child star will appear as the title character in the film that will be directed ironically by X-Men and X2: X-Men United helmer Bryan Singer.
Three new faces have joined the cast of Bryan Singer’s upcoming feature, Jack the Giant Killer. Say hello to Stanley Tucci, Bill Nighy, and John Kassir as the supporting actors of the film. According to Coming Soon, the trio will each play an important part in the fantasy adaptation that has yet to cast a leading man.
We’ve been hearing about Bryan Singer’s latest film Jack the Giant Killer for a while now, but there’s still no actor attached to play the lead. There have been plenty of rumors as to who the director would hire including I Am Number Four star Alex Pettyfer, but that connection was disregarded as a rumor. Over at THR, they seem to have some solid casting news that lists two of the U.K.’s biggest up and comers as front runners for the role: Nicholas Hoult and Aaron Johnson.
Poor Bryan Singer. According to THR, the director, screenwriter, and producer’s next project Jack the Giant Killer has been delayed. The New Line Cinema production was supposed to begin shooting sometime this summer but it’s not happening. He must be distracted by all the movement going on at Fox with X-Men: First Class.
