A live action JACK AND THE BEANSTALK movie featuring Darth Vader as the Giant?

Ahoy, squirts! Quint here. Now, this could probably be the lamest thing ever, but once again it's a project with a couple interesting people involved in it.

This production company, Avalon Production Company, is making a series of low-budget kids movies and they're starting out with a live-action JACK AND THE BEANSTALK movie. Katey Segal (Peggy Bundy herself) will play Jack's mother, PRINCESS BRIDE's Wallace Shawn is the crazy bastard that sells the magic beans to Jack, Gilbert Gottfried will voice the goose, Chevy Chase will earn another check in a cameo as the keeper of the labyrinth that leads to the Giant's castle and James Earl Jones is in negotiations to play the voice of the Giant. Christopher Lloyd plays the headmaster at Jack's school... also attended, in a SHREK-ish turn of events, by other fantasy characters, like Repunzel and Prince Charming.

Yeah, it'll most likely be original children's cable quality, but I'd love to see Chevy Chase in a funny movie again...
