There’s one reason and one reason only why we’re covering Jack the Giant Slayer: It has monsters. Giant monsters in fact (obviously), and we have here Image Gallery #1 for the film, which is overflowing with giant monstery goodness. Flip through it, and then look for Gallery #2, which is home to the humans, soon.

Jack the Giant Slayer hits US theatres on March 1st and arrives in the UK three weeks later on March 22nd. Concurrent with its debut in 35mm and digital theaters, Jack the Giant Slayer: An IMAX 3D Experience will be released in IMAX theaters.

Synopsis:
An age-old war is reignited when a young farmhand unwittingly opens a gateway between our world and a fearsome race of giants.

Unleashed on the Earth for the first time in centuries, the long-banished giants strive to reclaim the land they once lost, forcing the young man, Jack (Nicholas Hoult), into the battle of his life to stop them. Fighting for a kingdom, its people, and the love of a brave princess, he comes face to face with the unstoppable warriors he thought only existed in legend…and gets the chance to become a legend himself.

Acclaimed filmmaker Bryan Singer directs the 3D action adventure Jack the Giant Slayer, starring Nicholas Hoult as Jack. The film also stars Eleanor Tomlinson as Princess Isabelle; Stanley Tucci as the deceitful Roderick; Ian McShane as Isabelle’s father, the besieged King Brahmwell; Bill Nighy as General Fallon, the ferocious two-headed leader of the giant army; and Ewan McGregor as the loyal knight Elmont.

Moritz, David Dobkin, Bryan Singer, Patrick McCormick, and Ori Marmur. The executive producers are Thomas Tull, Jon Jashni, Alex Garcia, Toby Emmerich, Richard Brener, Michael Disco, and John Rickard.
