though, that might partially be because the effects shots simply have yet to be completed.
It effectively alludes to the classic fairy tale while also clarifying how this new version will differ offers a brief-but-sufficient look at the film's bright-eyed (and over his head) hero (as played by X-Men: First Class' Nicholas Hoult) and wisely holds off on revealing the CGI giants in full just yet. Overall, this Jack the Giant Killer promo is a pretty decent tease.
Now check out the Jack the Giant Killer teaser trailer below: 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. 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. 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.
Here is an official plot synopsis for the flick: With the help of her friend Kate Hazel and an array of faerie friends and allies she makes along the way (and a considerable amount of good luck), Jacky manages to rescue the kidnapped daughter of the Laird of Kinrowan and defeat the Unseelie Court, thus bringing peace and safety to the land.Three titles due out in 2012 offer big-budgeted, action-driven re-interpretations (or spin-offs) of classic fairy tales: Paramount Pictures' Hansel and Gretel Witch Hunters, Universal's Snow White and the Huntsman, and Warner Bros.' Jack the Giant Killer - which reunites screenwriter Christopher McQuarrie and director Bryan Singer for a third time (following The Usual Suspects and Valkyrie).Īn official teaser trailer has been released for Jack the Giant Killer as is to be expected, the film looks to have re-imagined the relatively simple tale of a young farmer, some magic beans, and a dangerous giant, into a grand-scale, swords & steel fantasy epic. She is regaled as the Jack of Kinrowan, a trickster figure who represents the Seelie Court's hope for victory against the forces of evil. She is soon drawn into a supernatural struggle between the weakened forces of the Seelie Court and their ominous enemies, the Host or Unseelie Court. The plot concerns a young woman living in Ottawa named Jacky Rowan who, after a late-night encounter with a motorcycle-riding version of the Wild Hunt, picks up a red cap which enables her to see into the Faerie realms. This book was included, along with Drink Down the Moon (1990), in Jack of Kinrowan (1995). The book is set in present-day Ottawa (where de Lint himself lives), but incorporates many elements of fantasy, folklore, and myth. Jack, the Giant Killer (1987) is a contemporary fantasy novel by Charles De Lint.
