Jack the Giant Slayer Breaks out the Big Guys
 |
The movie’s Facebook page has revealed the giants mentioned in the title of the upcoming fairy-tale adaptation, in which Nicholas Hoult (Beast in X-Men: First Class) takes on oversized opponents. Between this and the CG caveman Nicolas Cage in The Croods…I’m not sure I can tell the difference.
I do have faith in Bryan Singer – every movie of his I’ve seen has had something to like, and I would have liked to see him do a Superman sequel unburdened by either Richard Donner baggage or Super-Kid. But I’m losing faith in his production design team – these giants (see the rest after the jump) look like the ugliest latex puppets at a low-rent craft fair of the damned. Or troll dolls that’ve had a haircut. Gelflings on steroids, anyone?
If you’re wondering why it says “Fee,” on the poster above, you’ll get the idea once you see them all…
