Jack the Giant Slayer (previously titled Jack the Giant Killer) is a 2013 American fantasy adventure film directed by Bryan Singer and written by Darren Lemke, Christopher McQuarrie and Dan Studney, from a story by Lemke and David Dobkin. The film, based on the British fairy tales "Jack the Giant Killer" and "Jack and the Beanstalk", stars Nicholas Hoult, Eleanor Tomlinson, Stanley Tucci, Ian McShane, Bill Nighy, Eddie Marsan and Ewan McGregor. The film tells the story of Jack, a young farmhand who must save an abducted princess from a race of giants after accidentally opening a gateway to their land in the sky.Development of Jack the Giant Slayer began in 2005, when Lemke first pitched the idea. D. J. Caruso was hired to direct the film in January 2009, but in September of that year, Caruso was replaced by Singer, who hired McQuarrie and Studney to rework the script. The main characters were cast between February and March 2011, and principal photography began in April 2011 in England with locations in Somerset, Gloucestershire and Norfolk. The release of the film was moved back in post-production to allow more time for visual effects and marketing.
Jack the Giant Slayer premiered on February 26, 2013, in Hollywood. It was released theatrically in the United States on March 1, 2013, receiving mixed reviews from critics and was a box-office failure, earning $197 million worldwide against the budget of $185–200 million.
Plot
In the Kingdom of Cloister, in a time long past, monks craft magic beans that grow into a large beanstalk. They reach the realm of Gantua, home to a race of giants. The giants kill the monks and attack the Earth below. Through the use of a magical crown created from a giant's heart, King Erik manages to control the giants and force them to return, and the beanstalk is cut down. When Erik dies, his crown and the remaining beans are buried with him to keep them safe.
Years later, Jack, an orphaned, 18-year-old peasant, is sent by his uncle to sell his horse, Anser, and his cart at market. There, he runs into a disguised Princess Isabelle, whom he defends from an attack. The royal guard takes Isabel back to the castle. Afterwards, Jack realizes that his cart was stolen.
Meanwhile, Lord Roderick, second in command to King Brahmwell, has collected the beans and crown. A monk steals the beans, runs into Jack while trying to escape, and exchanges the beans for Anser. Warning Jack not to get the beans wet, the monk flees, pursued by the guards.
Isabel later sneaks out of the castle again, but is caught in a storm before coming upon Jack’s door. While they talk, the rain leaks into the house and wets a bean. It grows into a massive beanstalk that traps Isabel in the house as it is lifted into the sky. Jack attempts to free her, but is knocked away. The next morning, Brahmwell sends Roderick and other knights up the beanstalk to retrieve Isabel; Jack volunteers to join. During the climb, Roderick takes advantage of an accident to secretly cause most of the knight's deaths. After reaching Gantua, Roderick corners Jack and takes the remaining beans from him, though Jack secretly keeps one.
