Ewan McGregor Cast in "Jack the Giant Killer"

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Ewan McGregor is in negotiations to grab a role in Jack the Giant Killer.

The film, coming from New Line Cinema, is a new take on the story of Jack and the Beanstalk fairy tale. The story centers on a farm boy who goes on a journey to free a princess that has been taken hostage by a giant. The situation threatens the already unstable peace between humans and giants.

The film will be directed by Bryan Singer (X-Men, X2) and already has Nicholas Hoult (Clash of the Titans, X-Men: First Class) cast as the peasant. Stanley Tucci (The Lovely Bones, The Devil Wears Prada) will play the villain, and Bill Nighy and John Kassir will play a two-headed giant-leader.

McGregor’s role would find him as the leader of the king’s guard and he will help fight the giants.

The role that has yet to be cast is the princess. There are rumors circulating over who will be cast, but there is nothing concrete yet.

The film will begin shooting in London in March.
