FAIRY TALE MOVIES CONTINUED...

Let's see, Snow White has two live action films and a live action television series.  Little Red Riding Hood has a live action film.  The live action Sleeping Beauty film is being filmed.  Alice in Wonderland as a live action film adaptation.  The Wizard of Oz has a brand new film installment that reverses the genders for the primary action (Now it's one guy and three girls instead of one girl and three guys).  Hansel and Gretel has a live action film adaptation.  So it only makes sence that the fairy tale Jack and the Beenstalk has a live action film adaptation entitled Jack the Giant Slayer.  Second generation Hollywood royalty actress Eleanor Tomlinson (the daughter of actor Malcolm Tomlinson and the sister of actor Ross Tomlinson) plays the girlfriend role named Isabelle.  Isabelle never appeared in the actual fairytale. 
In the actual fairytale, Jack lives with his Mother and the cow stopped giving milk.  So Jack was told by his Mother to sell the cow and he does as ordered.  However, he uses the money to buy magic beans.  Jack's furious Mother tosses the magic beans out of the window and refuses to give Jack dinner.  The magic beans turns into a giant bean stalk which leads Jack to the kitchen of the giant and his wife.  Jack manipulates the Giants wife while he steals on three seperate trips a bag of gold, a hen that lays golden eggs and a magic harp.  The giant is furious that Jack flirted with his wife and robbed him blind chases after him.  Jack makes it down the beanstalk first and orders his Mother to chop down the giant beanstalk (And his Mother does as ordered).  The giant falls from the clouds to the ground, breaks every bone in his body and dies.  Jack and his Mother lives in luxery from stolen gold, a stolen hen that lays golden eggs and a stolen magic harp to provide music entertainment.
In the film, Jack is a homeless orphan who joins King Brahmwell's army, take lessons from a soldier named Elmont, falls in love with King Brahmwell's daughter Isabelle.  And when King Brahmwell's adviser  Roderick becomes the leader of an army of horribly deformed psychotic giants (All of them isn't married and lives in a cloud covered land without any females in sight).  War is declared between humans and giants.  Jack is this close to going from homeless orphan to being Prince of the magic land of Happily Ever After.  But first, all nine billion unmarried deformed psychotic giants must be wiped out.  Too bad Roderick is engaged to marry Isabelle while leading the army of giants against his own King (Who he pretends to be loyal to).  Needless to say, the actual fairy tale is forgotten and replaced by something else.
Still,  Eleanor Tomlinson is hoping that Jack the Giant Slayer will make her a very huge star with a really huge fan club.
