As fable mania continues to sweep Hollywood (the dueling Snow White projects, Once Upon a Time, Grimm, Puss in Boots etc), Bryan Singer throws his Jack and the Beanstalk into the ring. It stars Nicholas Hoult, which is promising, but it feels incredibly flimsy, like a Funny or Die parody of the genre, and that isn’t very promising at ALL. Oh, well, at least the whole vampire thing seems to be going away.
