Our exposure so far with director Bryan Singer's JACK THE GIANT SLAYER has been rather low key if you ask me. There's been nothing too dark about it. Up until now that is. Check out the latest trailer for JACK and note the differences. I think they should have started out with this tact and worked into an even more darker place - but then again perhaps the movie just doesn't go there.
Regardless the new trailer is the best of the lot. Enjoy!
Here's the storyline for the movie: Jack the Giant Slayer 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.
Jim here. According to a recent interview from Heat Vision with Bryan Singer - he is seriously considering either native or conversion 3D for his next upcoming project JACK THE GIANT KILLER.
JTGK is most likely based on the storyline that Jack has an uncle who is a three headed-giant, whom he tricks into giving him a sword of sharpness, boots of speed, a cloak of darkness, and a cap of knowledge.
Warner Bros. has this slated for a 2011 release. Singer will be shooting it in London.
Here is what Singer had to say about AVATAR:"It was very cool. I had seen 30-40 minutes before, but the whole thing was amazing. From the beginning, with those shots in space, I felt goosebumps. It was inspiring. I’m going back and forth, debating, on using 3D for "Jack," and it pushed me a little closer in the 3D direction. 3D is a little daunting. And then there's the decision of, do you shoot in 3D, or do you post in 3D? And how to achieve that? I have a very good visual effect supervisor on "Jack" who has a lot of 3D character experience."
So we all know that if a director likes 3D for one of his projects he may very well carry it forward to others... So that may very well mean X-MEN: FIRST CLASS! We shall see! My feelers are out :-)
