Eleanor Tomlinson to play princess in Bryan Singer's Jack The Giant Killer

Eleanor Tomlinson.jpgBRITISH actress Eleanor Tomlinson has been cast as leading lady Princess Isabella in Bryan Singer's Jack The Giant Killer, another of Hollywood's current crop of fairy tale reinventions.

The 18-year-old's credits include The Illusionist, Alice in Wonderland and Angus Thongs and Full-Frontal Snogging. Eleanor had auditioned for the part of Alice that went to Mia Wasikowska but was cast as Fiona Chataway instead. She also appeared as an alien in a two-part episode of The Sarah Jane Adventures.

Nicholas Hoult is playing the title role of the farm boy who falls in love with the princess and leads a rescue mission to the land of the giants when she is kidnapped.

Bill Nighy and John Kassir share the role of the two-headed king of the giants while Stanley Tucci is the scheming adviser to the king who wants to usurp power and Ewan McGregor is in negotiations for the role of the leader of the king's elite guard. Filming starts in London this month.
