areaseven Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 (edited) Another classic fairy tale hits the big screen this year. Directed by Bryan Singer (The Usual Suspects, X-Men), Jack the Giant Slayer is the latest retelling of the fables Jack the Giant Killer and Jack and the Beanstalk, starring Nicholas Hoult (Hank McCoy/Beast in X-Men: First Class, Marcus in About a Boy), Eleanor Tomlinson (Fiona in Alice in Wonderland), Stanley Tucci (Dr. Erskine in Captain America: The First Avenger, Caesar in The Hunger Games), Ian McShane (Tai Lung in Kung Fu Panda, Blackbeard in Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides), John Kassir (Crypt Keeper in Tales from the Crypt, Adam in Dead Rising), and Ewan McGregor (not like anyone here doesn't know him...). The film premiers in Asia on February 27-28 and in the U.S. on March 1 in 3D and IMAX. Official Site And what's a big-budget blockbuster without a competing mockbuster from The Asylum?

Kaldar5 Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 (edited) Jack the Giant slayer earned $28 million out of the $300 million used to make it.Has anyone seen this? Is it a train wreck?When will they learn? First Battleship? Then this?No: YES! (Please note, this is in no way endorsing the idea of a live action Macross or Rxxxtxxh) Edited March 3, 2013 by Kaldar5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
