Beanstalk (Live-Action)

[Disneyphile]

EXCLUSIVE: Disney is acquiring Beanstalk, a revisionist take on the Jack and the Beanstalk tale that is based on a detailed outline by Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul creator Vince Gilligan. Gilligan has tapped Thomas Schnauz–who has won two Emmys writing for both Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul–to write the script. Gilligan will eye it as a possible directing vehicle, but it’s very early days on the project. Gilligan and Mark Johnson will produce. The most recent crack at the fable was the Bryan Singer-directed Jack The Giant Slayer, a pretty good movie that unfortunately cost about what it grossed globally.

Wait. Is this writer of Giants? Or are they having 2 versions? Is Giants going to be live-action now? What is going on?!

Sounds like the obligatory live-action remake will now be released alongside the animated film. Or before.

Giants and Benstalk are separated projects:

@brendanconnelly They are separate projects, but don't assume both will make it all the way through development.
