In “Jack the Giant Slayer,” an ancient war is reignited when a young farmhand unwittingly opens a gateway between our world and a fearsome race of giants.
Unleashed on the Earth for the first time in centuries, the giants strive to reclaim the land they once lost, forcing the young man, Jack (Hoult), into the battle of his life to stop them. Fighting for a kingdom and its people, and the love of a brave princess, he comes face to face with the unstoppable warriors he thought only existed in legend… and gets the chance to become a legend himself.
A New Line Cinema presentation, in association with Legendary Pictures, “Jack the Giant Slayer” is now playing across the Philippines in IMAX 3D, Digital 3D and regular theatres and is distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures, a Warner Bros. Entertainment Company.
