D.J. Caruso Set for Jack the Giant Killer

Source:  Variety
D.J. Caruso is about to step into a more adult land of giants. According to Variety, Caruso has signed on to direct Jack the Giant Killer for New Line Cinema. The film will be a much different, adult take on the Jack and the Beanstalk story.

This story revolves a longtime peace between men and the land of giants that is broken when a princess is kidnapped, and a young farmer is given the chance to lead a journey into the giants' land to save her.

Mark Bomback wrote the script and Neil Moritz is producing. No production schedule was released as of yet.

I liked Disturbia but not Eagle Eye. Hopefully he redeems himself with this film.

Sounds great; like the old epic poems.
I like Caruso's direction; Disturbia was great; and Eagle Eye was decent.
Looking forward to this...
