Ewan McGregor is in negotiations to join the cast of Bryan Singer's Jack the Giant Killer says Heat Vision.
This re-telling of the Jack and the Beanstalk fairy tale follows a farm boy (Nicholas Hoult) who unwittingly breaks a long-standing peace between the humans and giants when he goes after a princess who the giants kidnapped. McGregor is poised to play the leader of the king’s elite guard, who helps fight giants.
The great Stanley Tucci, Bill Nighy, and John Kassir also star.
The role of the princess has yet to be cast--Australian actress Adelaide Kane and Eleanor Tomlinson (Alice in Wonderland) have emerged as the leading candidates though
Singer directs from a script by Christopher McQuarrie, Mark Bomback, and Darren Lemke.
Shooting kicks off late March in London.
