Bryan Singer is finally sticking to what fans love by continuing to direct films in the fantasy genre. Sure, he may have burned a few bridges with his love letter to Richard Donner and Christopher Reeve in Superman Returns, but now he’s coming back with an all new twist on Jack the Giant Killer.
Along the same vein of Hunger Games and some of the new sexy “classics” done to a cool score, this flick will make you forget any of the stories done before it. Here’s the synopsis.
“Jack the Giant Killer” tells the story of an ancient war that is reignited when a young farmhand unwittingly opens a gateway between our world and a fearsome race of giants. Unleashed on the Earth for the first time in centuries, the giants strive to reclaim the land they once lost, forcing the young man, Jack, into the battle of his life to stop them.
Fighting for a kingdom, its people, and the love of a brave princess, he comes face to face with the unstoppable warriors he thought only existed in legend–and gets the chance to become a legend himself.
You can check out the trailer for the film after the jump. Catch Jack the Giant Killer in theaters on June 15th.

Probably the biggest news during the premiere of James Cameron’s new film Avatar came from outside the theater on the blue carpet when MySpace’s camera crew talked with Bryan Singer, who spilled the beans on his next projects. First up, seems to be Jack the Giant Killer – written by Mark Bomback (Live Free and Die Hard) and Darren Lemke, about a princess that goes missing, and disrupts a truce between man and giants. And Singer says, he’s gearing up to use the same technology that Avatar used.
But that’s not the biggest news from the premiere. Singer also said: “I just yesterday signed a deal to do an ‘X-Men: First Class Origins’ picture, which is kind of cool. I’m very excited.” The movie was originally said to be in the hands of Chuck and Gossip Girl creator Josh Schwartz and also had writer Zak Penn, who had worked on the first two X-Men films, attached to direct at one point.
So this revelation by Singer is surprising, and exciting news. Bryan Singer, of course directed the first two X-Men films, which together grossed more that $600 Million, before leaving the franchise to direct Superman Returns and last year’s Valkyrie.
Here’s a link to the UStream video, that if you forward to the 27-minute mark, will give you the news directly from Singer’s mouth.
