Briefly: It's been about 10 months since the first trailer for Jack the Giant Killer arrived, and since then we haven't heard anything bout Bryan Singer's fantasy adventure. That changes today as Warner Bros. has announced the film will now be called Jack the Giant Slayer (probably because it tested better with families), and it will now arrive three weeks earlier on March 1st, 2013 in 2D, 3D and IMAX 3D theaters. Starring Nicholas Hoult, Stanley Tucci, Ian McShane, Bill Nighy, Eleanor Tomlinson and Ewan McGregor, the film tells the story of an ancient war that is reignited when a young farmhand unwittingly opens a gateway between our world and a fearsome race of giants. It's about damn time this hit theaters.

Here's the first trailer for Jack the Giant Slayer with the film's old title:

A modern fairy tale in which the long-standing peace between men and giants is threatened, as a young farmer

(Hoult) leads an expedition into the giants' kingdom in hopes of rescuing a kidnapped princess.

Jack the Giant Slayer is directed by filmmaker Bryan Singer, of Public Access, The Usual Suspects, Apt Pupil, X-Men, X2, Superman Returns and Valkyrie previously. The screenplay is by Darren Lemke (Shrek Forever After), Christopher McQuarrie (Usual Suspects, Valkyrie) and Dan Studney (Reefer Madness: The Musical). Warner Bros is bringing Jack the Giant Skayer to theaters starting March 1st, 2012. Still in?

Never heard of it, but the thread title made me think of this:

Who shall be our seventh, Wilfred?

- Why, need I say more? Jack.

Not mad bully-boy Jack, the grave robbing assassin of Aldwich?

- No.

Then crazed-animal Jack, the cattle rustling cannibal from Sutton-Coalfield?

- Ha ha... no.

Then your mans sane Jack O'Hooligan the man-hating goat-murderer of Dingle Bay.

- No.

Surely not Canon Jack Smollett senior Arch-deacon of the Diocese of St Bothar, the entrail-eating heretic of Bath and Wells?

- No. I'm talking of unspeakably-violent Jack, the bull-buggering beast-killer of no-fixed-abode.

    • iPhone 18 Pro drop-test video and photos leak on the dark web following a data breach

      By Hamid Ganji · Posted

      iPhone 18 Pro drop-test video and photos leak on the dark web following a data breach by Hamid Ganji iPhone 17 Pro - Image via Apple Apple is seemingly facing one of the biggest data breaches in its history, and just a few months before the official debut of the iPhone 18 Pro series, photos, a drop-test video, a supplier list, and key phone components have reportedly been leaked by hackers. Last week, we reported that Tata Electronics, an Apple supplier and iPhone producer in India, was hit by a data breach. As a result, it was reported that more than 200,000 trade secrets and confidential documents belonging to Apple and Tesla were stolen by the ransomware group World Leaks. According to Reuters, the group has now leaked supplier lists, component details, and photos of the upcoming iPhone 18 Pro models on the dark web. One of the materials leaked by the hackers is a drop-test video of the iPhone 18 Pro, which is due to launch this September. The phone is shown in a gray color and has the same familiar design we saw on last year's iPhone 17 Pro series. The device also appears to be quite durable, though it seems to be thicker than last year's model. One possible explanation is that Apple may be using a larger battery in the iPhone 18 Pro series. Moreover, Reuters says it has seen at least six documents mapping many components in the iPhone 18 Pro models to their respective suppliers, including details on chips on the main circuit board and on battery and camera components. The documents reportedly detail hundreds of parts that will be used in the iPhone 18 Pro models. A person familiar with the matter told the outlet that Apple classifies this data as sensitive and “is concerned about the documents being shared on the dark web as they relate to unreleased models.” Apple is reportedly investigating the issue but has yet to issue an official statement.
    • Microsoft Edge gets tons of security features, including AI model that can see your screen

      By monterxz · Posted

      You do you, I've just said that it first appeared in "home" version before it will be available in "work" one. I use Edge only because it still supports MV2 uBO extension even on Android - I'll switch when they stop.
    • Can't access the forum on mobile

      I imagine that was a review or something? My reviews mostly contain a lot of images and galleries, but these are all webp too, but yeah it all adds up on the page load. Would help if you were more helpful with your critique instead of bitching and moaning like a Karen 😂 Because then we might be able to fix it for you.
    • Dbrand thought they could get away with this Steam Machine case, Valve disagreed

      By PsYcHoKiLLa · Posted

      If Valve refused to let them make the case, I wonder if they've already partnered with someone else to do it? The fact that they didn't seek permission/licence before diving straight in is incredible though
