D.J. Caruso Directing Jack the Giant Killer

January 6, 2009

New Line Cinema has set Eagle Eye and Disturbia helmer D.J. Caruso to direct Jack the Giant Killer, a drama that takes an adult look at the Jack and the Beanstalk legend, reports Variety.

When a princess is kidnapped, a long-standing peace between men and giants becomes threatened, and a young farmer is given an opportunity to lead a dangerous expedition to the giant kingdom to rescue her.

Mark Bomback (Race to Witch Mountain) wrote the script. Neal Moritz is producing.

Not quite sure what to make of this one yet. I have liked Caruso's other work, so I won't write this off.

Hey I like Shia, hes a great actor. He would make a great giant killer so shut up you have no idea what talent is...id like to see you act in a movie you would suck. Oh and also the movie sounds awesome.
