According to
HeatVision Blog,
Bryan Singer (Superman Returns, Valkyrie) has signed on to direct
Jack the Giant Slayer, the fantasy adventure from
Legendary Pictures and
New Line.
Penned by
Mark Bomback (Deception, Live Free or Die Hard) and
Darren Lemke (Lost (2004)) while
Neal Moritz is producing via his
Original Film banner.
David Dobkin will co-produce alongside Legendary's
Jon Jashni and
Alex Garcia.
Jack the Giant Slayer is set in motion when a princess is kidnapped, threatening a long-standing peace between men and giants. A young farmer is given an opportunity to lead a dangerous expedition to the giants' kingdom in hopes of rescuing her.
Apparently the film is being fast-tracked so it will mostly likely be Singer's next movie. “Battlestar Gallactica” and remake of “Excalibur” (1981) will have to wait.
