Cameras have started rolling on Bryan Singer’s upcoming 3D action-adventure flick Jack the Giant Killer and the first images from the set have gone online. For those unfamiliar with the project, the story is a reimagining of “Jack and the Beanstalk” and stars Nicholas Hoult (A Single Man) as the titular hero who leads an expedition to free a princess (Eleanor Tomlinson) taken hostage by a giant, a situation that threatens the uneasy peace between humans and giants. The film’s impressive cast also includes Ewan McGregor, Eddie Marsan, Stanley Tucci, Ian McShane, and Bill Nighy.
Hit the jump to check out an image of McGregor and Marsan as members of the King’s elite guard. Jack the Giant Killer opens June 15, 2012.

Are you sure it’s a reimagining of Jack and the Beanstalk? Because there is an actual old fairy tale called Jack the Giant Killer that is completely different from the beanstalk story. Takes place during the time of King Arthur. The image seems to fit better too.
Is it just me or does that armor look pretty lame?
Yeah, looks like he dressed up for Comic-Con. Don’t let straight guys cut your hair, but don’t let gay guys make your armor.
