Jack the Giant Killer
Bryan Singer’s pic has pushed back filming from later this Summer to February next year, a delay due to "concerns about the visual effects" reports Heat Vision.
Singer plans to pre-viz the entire film and use of elaborate filming technology to render the effects-heavy fantasy feature.
The film is a fantasy adventure, which 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 hope of rescuing her.
Singer was set to start shooting this summer in England but not anymore. He has been meeting young actors such as Aaron Johnson (“Kick-Ass”) and Andrew Garfield about taking the lead role
Life of Pi
Ang Lee's 3D adaptation of Yann Martel's beloved novel about a boy stranded on a boat with a tiger, hyena, zebra and orangutan for 227 days after a shipwreck which was coming together to shoot this Summer, has hit a financial snag
The Los Angeles Times reports that the studio is unwilling to cough up the $70 million required to finance the film. Despite the rather economical amount, there's big concerns over the film's marketability.
The other issue of course is with much of the film set at sea, the film will be a major water shoot. Projects of that kind almost always exceed their budget estimates.
