Warner Bros released a trailer for Bryan Singer’s reimagining of the children’s tale about a boy, a cow and those beans. Nicholas Hoult plays Jack and the cast includes Ewan McGregor, Stanley Tucci, Warwick Davis, Bill Nighy, Ian McShane, Eleanor Tomlinson and Eddie Marsan. Jack The Giant Killer opens June 15.

Looks pretty damn cool. Anyone else notice that Mr. Singer always picks actors that look like better looking versions of himself?
He Miscast Superman and now This.
Jack looks like a fluffer from the Valley.
That’s the guy who played Beast in First Class.
I just spit up my coffee
jesus christ bill….. lol
“Fluffer” is right, Bill. This film needed a He-Man – but got a Her-Man instead. This movie’s going to tank.
I thought the same thing — this kid looks like Bryan Singer.
And this trailer looks great. Superman Returns was a complete misfire but it looks like Singer will redeem himself here. Plus, he’s got McQuarrie on the script so you know it’s tits.
The Singer 2.0′s
Shawn Ashmore in X2
Stephan Bender in Superman Returns
Now this fellow
I think it’s in the eyes. They all have sharp, stern eyes.
this is a joke, right? it looks like satire/parody. Belongs at the end of The Player. The creative well in Los Angeles is now officially dry. Bryan Singer has officially sold out.
Great Trailer
THAT caught my attention.
The only thing more wooden than that beanstalk is Hoult.
Just like one blogger said – the rivalry between Kristen Stewart’s Snow White and Mirror, Mirror basically ended after trailers came out. Because they are in different categories. Snow White is for teens and adults and Mirror is for kids age 4-12.
And Jack the Giant Killer is the real rival for Snow White. They are both fairy tales that went much more serious and dark. I wonder which one will get more money. This one kind of looks even more interesting. Charlize Theron stole spotlight in Snow White. It’s the only reason to watch it. Theron as that evil and cool queen. Take out Theron and there will be nothing interesting in Snow White. But here in Jack the Giant Killer I was much more interested in plot. And giants look scary.
It’s like you tried to fit all the marketing talking points into one post. Sad.
I heard this budget exploded wildly out of control and went extremely over budget, which seems to be Singer’s custom now. I do wonder where all that extra money disappears to.
So, a giant lives up in the clouds and is accessible only via a giant beanstalk — and it’s supposed to be SERIOUS?? “Cowboys and Aliens,” anyone? You need HUMOR to pull something like this off, a commodity clearly lacking in Mr. Singer’s resume. Besides, this story was just done in “Puss In Boots.”
I bet the giant dies in the end.
looks like LOTR.
someone should be paying Chris Nolan residual checks. EVERY trailer these days uses his Dark Knight/Inception gooooooooooooong these days.
So is the giant going to provide the gay subtext in this new Singer film?
“You want me to kill him…just because he’s DIFFERENT??!?!”
You had me at “don’t get them wet”.
totally miscast Jack, Holt was so not right for this role
Looks alright, but is “Bryan Singer: Director of X-Men” really supposed to be a big selling point?
I guess it sounded better than “Bryan Singer: Director of Superman Returns and Apt Pupil…”
that giant sure looks like a real jerk. i hope jack kills him.
Yes, because you can tell if someone has been miscast from just the trailer.
Take a nap.
I love Nicholas Hoult. I think he’s amazing. Ever since Skins (i never saw about a boy) I’ve been a fan.
I’m not saying these huge adventure re-imaginings of fairy tales don’t look cool.
I’m saying they’re all starting to look the same.
And that can’t be good.
I’d prefer the Monty Python take.
Ugh.
I heard this budget exploded wildly out of control, and went extremely over budget, which seems to be Singer’s custom now. I do wonder where all that extra money disappears to.
That boy is so weird looking. Like some alien mantis baby.
A new low! Hurray for Hollywood.
I particularly liked the moment at 1:05 when Jack is racing across a field on a white horse– you can see about a dozen straight lines all the way across the grass where the lawnmowers had been. Maybe they were Olde English lawnmowers.
I’m not sure if you know this but movies aren’t real… this stuff in a trailer shouldn’t upset you this much. They did have wheels back then, they could have been tracks from a wheelbarrow race. Why would that bother you?
I’m not sure if you understand that real directors pay attention to stuff like rico brings up. But Singer hasn’t been a real director for a long time. You shouldn’t get so worked up when people point out Singer’s failings. Why would you care?
Agreed, really weird cast (superman returns again… ugh) I prefer Snow White by far, this looks bit silly… but could be fun. Xmen2 was the best Xmen movie so far.
