15 Of The Most Ridiculous Films That Actors Should Be Ashamed Of
8. Jack the Giant Slayer
The film, which was a retelling of the “Jack and the Beanstalk” fable that many people remember from their childhoods, was delayed three separate times.
The film essentially sat on a shelf for more than a year before Warner Brothers even considered releasing it again.
The result was a film that few people went to see and even fewer people actually liked. It was directed by the genuinely talented Bryan Singer, who helmed movies like “The Usual Suspects” and “X2: X-Men United.”
Depending on who you believe, the blame for the “Jack the Giant Slayer” disaster either falls with the studio or with the director.
The studio claims that Bryan Singer consistently went over budget on the film’s effects sequences, which cost the overall budget to balloon to heights that even a mega hit wouldn’t have been able to survive.
Bryan Singer claims that Warner Brothers constantly interfered with the production, resulting in a film that compromised his vision artistically. The truth of the matter is that the movie isn’t very good, regardless of who is to blame.
