Not really sure this is gonna jive with the AITH crowd, but I thought I’d join our man Jared on the island of coverage for Bryan Singer’s dark reimagining of JACK THE GIANT KILLER.

As you may have seen last week, Ewan McGregor will headline the film, joining the quickly ascending English actor Nicholas Hoult, Stanley Tucci, Bill Nighy and John Kassir. Now, according to Variety, Singer has found his female lead. Her name is Eleanor Tomlinson (pictured).

Tomlinson’s also appeared in such notables as THE ILLUSIONIST and ALICE AND WONDERLAND, also has a slew of projects in the works that include STYRIA, THE SPIDER and HEAVEN AND EARTH. The young British native is or will be 19 years old this year.

In case you missed it:

Jack the Giant Killer is a scary revisionist take on the Jack and the Beanstalk mythology and follows a farmer who leads an expedition into the giants’ kingdom to rescue a kidnapped princess.

The film is due sometime next year.
