In Addition To GALACTICA And EXCALIBUR, Bryan Singer Is Directing A Fast-Tracked JACK THE GIANT KILLER?? Seems So...


Merrick here...


Bryan Singer will direct JACK THE GIANT KILLER for New Line & Legendary Pictures.

Despite already being attached to reinventions of EXCALIBUR and BATTLSTAR GALACTICA, sounds like JACK may actually be his next film.

The story, by Mark Bomback ("Live Free or Die Hard"), 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.
[EDIT]
“Killer” is most likely to be Singer’s next movie. TThe project has no start date but is being fast-tracked.

...says THR HERE.

Bomback also scripted RACE TO WITH MOUNTAIN and LIVE FREE OR DIE HARD. Neal Moritz will produce.
