Fresh off of this week’s news that Bill Nighy, Stanley Tucci and John Kassir have joined the cast of director Bryan Singer’s Jack The Giant Killer, Deadline are reporting that said Jack has been cast in the form of About A Boy and A Single Man star Nicholas Hoult.
The film is an adult look at the Jack and the Beanstalk legend. 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.
Christopher McQuarrie wrote the script for the film along with Mark Bomback and Darren Lemke.
