The upcoming Bryan Singer retelling of "Jack and the Beanstalk" called Jack the Giant Killer (2011) looks pretty amazing. One of the artists helping to shape that vision is Justin Sweet (Chronicles of Narnia).
Here's what he said about the illustration.
I couldn't find it anywhere else, so I decided to post it.
Official Synopsis: Jack the Giant Killer tells the story of an ancient war that is reignited when a young farmhand unwittingly opens a gateway between our world and a fearsome race of giants. Unleashed on the Earth for the first time in centuries, the giants strive to reclaim the land they once lost, forcing the young man, Jack, into the battle of his life to stop them. Fighting for a kingdom, its people, and the love of a brave princess, he comes face to face with the unstoppable warriors he thought only existed in legend—and gets the chance to become a legend himself.

I literally can't believe this...I mean, it looks like a cool movie, but...Jack and the beanstalk? This movie should be exhibit A that Hollywood is running out of ideas.
ReplyDeleteFairy tales are becoming the new "hot" thing in Hollywood these days. It does look cool though. I like that it's not just about "Jack and the Beanstalk", but the whole idea of a race of giants attacking the Earth.
