Here's my review for Bryan Singer's Jack the Giant Slayer starring Nicholas Hoult, EwanMcGregor, Ian McShane and Eleanor Tomlinson. The film is locally distrubuted by Warner Bros. Pictures Philippines and is now showing in all cinemas.
Yet again we are treated to another 'modern retelling' of classic fairy tales using big name stars, over-the-top VFX and quirk dialogue. We've already seen this in "Snow White and the Huntsman", "Hansel and Gretel Witch Hunters" and a host of other similar stuff. This movie however plays with the mythology and does so admittedly unlike the other two which really tried it's very best to do serious stuff.
Ewan McGregor (“Star Wars” trilogy, “The Impossible”) stars as the king’s most trusted knight Elmont who is tasked to bring the princess back from the giant beanstalk, in New Line Cinema's 3D fantasy, action-adventure “Jack the Giant Slayer.”
In the film, an age-old war 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 long-banished giants strive to reclaim the land they once lost, forcing the young man, Jack (Nicholas Hoult), 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.
Nicholas Hoult is promoting his “zombie romance” film called “Warm Bodies” and the star was asked about all of his other projects.
In an interview posted by Collider on Jan. 22, the “X-Men: First Class” star discusses his zombie role and the back story before moving to his next film “Jack the Giant Slayer,” which the actor says he’s seen a few bits.
”I’ve seen a few clips from it. It looks pretty impressive,” Hoult says before adding that the Giants have unique personalities and their ‘world” is “pretty spectacular.”
“Jack” is one of several “big budget films” for Hoult who then comments on “Mad Max: Fury Road” which wrapped for Hoult, director George Miller and his character Nux.
”It was fantastic. I mean, crazy. (seen nothing like it) the landscape, the vehicles, the stunts. George Miller is a fantastic director. I think it’s going to be a really cool film.”
New Line Cinema and Warner Bros. have released five new posters for its upcoming 3D epic action-adventure “Jack the Giant Slayer” featuring the giants Fee, Fye, Foe, Fumm...and Fallon.
The 3D fantasy adventure is directed by acclaimed filmmaker Bryan Singer (“X-Men”) and starring Nicholas Hoult (“X-Men: First Class”).
From the most eagerly anticipated reboot of the Superman franchise, to new offerings from master directors Guillermo del Toro, Bryan Singer, Baz Luhrmann, Alfonso Cuaron, to the continuation of the blockbuster series “The Hobbit” and “The Hangover,” the 2013 line-up of Warner Bros. Pictures lives up to the studio's thrust: to entertain the world.
