![]() Jack (Nicholas Hoult) is sent to the local market to sell a prized possession – a horse. We all know the story of Jack and the Beanstalk and as I mentioned, this isn’t the literal adaption, but the general premise is still the same. Warner invested quite a bit of change in this adaptation, did it work? ![]() The man behind the camera is Bryan Singer, director of The Usual Suspects and a few of the X-Men films. ![]() So Warner, taking a cue from the mouse, went back to the books and we’re now presented with Jack the Giant Slayer – a somewhat stylized version of the popular children’s tale of Jack and the Beanstalk. What’s a movie studio to do? Disney found success a few years back when they gave us a live-action version of Alice in Wonderland and more recently with Oz: The Great and Powerful. Now that Harry Potter has finally killed Voldermort and the streets of Gotham have their caped crusader (and all is presumably well), that’s a lot of money that potential moviegoers will be looking to spend. You see now that the Harry Potter and Batman franchises have run their course, whatever are they going to do in regard to profit? I jest, of course, as Warner has been probably the top studio in Hollywood for years, but there is an element of truth there. I never thought I’d say this about a movie studio, but I actually kind of feel bad for Warner Brothers.
