This section of the short is quite entertaining although it bears no relevance to the story. However it seems that giants are not the only inhabitants as there are a lot of monkeys doing all kinds of tricks. Clearly they are in the right place as a sign announces "This is the land of WOOF IN POOF Danger Giants". Jack and his animal friends manage to escape onto dry land while the fish blunts his saw on the rock. After the storm calms, the sawblade fish swims up again (the same one from "The Four Musicians of Bremen") and cuts a fish in half before cutting their boat in half. This scene bears a striking resemblance to a scene from the later film "Alice Cans The Cannibals". A typically and comically melodramatic scene ensues with the "Twas a dark and stormy night" card. At this point I am guessing that Jack has taken this trip in order to impress Susie. They all get in and sail away, without Susie in the boat with them. Then we see the cat and dog loading up the boat. She watches as he demonstrates the strength with which he will conquer the giant. Jack is trying to impress Susie with his ambition to visit the Land of the Giants. I am not sure about the reference to the location it may perhaps be a pun on the "whiffenpoof", an imaginary animal mentioned in various works of the early 20th Century. Jack and his female friend (Susie) are looking at a poster which is advertising the giant, saying "giant captured in the wilds of WOOF IN POOF". That "dog" may be a prototype of the dog who appears later in "Puss in Boots". I'm assuming it's a dog, but sometimes it looks strikingly like a cat. The cat is with another white-furred animal who I'm not sure is meant to be a dog or a cat. He is with the cat, who appears in all of the shorts. Next we see our friend (Jack) who will appear in the later shorts "Puss in Boots" and "Cinderella" (and possibly others as there are still two of the fairy tales I have not seen). In fact, this section seems to be a little irrelevant to the rest of the short, and doesn't add much value. There are some lions and tigers in a nearby cage, and a band playing. A giant is being demonstrated by the host "Wildman".
I’m sure this will be follow up of Singer’s work.Jack, a little boy, his girlfriend and his cat go to the Land of the Giants.to explore and find stuff that they can use for important details.Jack carries his girlfriend so he can show her around the Land of the Giants. Kevin Smith has also been filming his upcoming Red State on a Red camera. The Social Network was shot on the Red One camera at 4K resolution. The 2010 Academy Award-nominated District 9 was mostly shot using Red Ones.
The EPIC’s extraordinary exposure latitude will allow me to more effectively explore the use of natural light.

The camera’s incredibly compact size and extraordinary resolution are ideal for the 3D format.īut more importantly Jack the Giant Killer is my first movie set in a time before electricity.
I’m very much looking forward to using the EPIC Red for my next movie Jack the Giant Killer which will be shot in, what else, 3D. Bryan pointed out that the Epic’s extraordinary exposure latitude would allow him to more effectively explore the use of natural light. The camera’s amazingly compact size and astonishing resolution were ideal for the 3D format, he said.
While talking about his plans for the film he expressed happiness to using the Epic Red for this one, which would be shot in 3D. By all accounts the movie is kind of an adult version of the original.īryan Singer (X-Men, X-Men 2) is planning to use a lot of natural light instead of usual extreme studio lighting. The film performed quite well at the box office.īryan Singer shoots a modern day fairy tale in which the ancient peace between men and giants is in danger, as a young farmer leads an expedition into the giants’ kingdom in hope of rescuing a kidnapped princess. In 1961, United Artists released a middle budget film produced by Edward Small and directed by Nathan H.
