I’ve heard about this movie for years, but next summer, Bryan Singer’s reimagining of the classic Jack & The Beanstalk hits theaters.

It’s called Jack the Giant Killer, and like many other fairy tale interpretations hitting theaters these days, they’re aiming for the whole grim and gritty thing to sell tickets.

What a silly idea. Sure, many of these fairy tales were originally grim and dark, but why the hell do they keep pushing classic tales into molds that they never fit in before?  Maybe I’m wrong, maybe this will be good, but the trailer tells me otherwise.

Jack The Giant Killer hits theaters on June 15th, 2012.
