'Beanstalk' New Movie News: 'Breaking Bad' Creator Vince Gilligan Tapped to Write Disney Live Action Film

'Breaking Bad' creator, Vince Gilligan has announced his next big venture as another Disney live action adaptation. Disney has recently bought 'Beanstalk,' a reinterpretation of the classic, 'Jack and the Beanstalk,' and Gilligan has been tasked to write the movie with the help of another 'Breaking Bad' writer.

"Gilligan has tapped Breaking Bad exec-producer and writer Thomas Schnauz to write the script. Gilligan will eye it as a possible directing vehicle, but it's very early days on the project. Gilligan and Mark Johnson will produce. The most recent crack at the fable was the Bryan Singer-directed Jack The Giant Slayer, a pretty good movie that unfortunately cost about what it grossed globally," writes Deadline.

The original 'Beanstalk' story has made it to the big screen twice in recent years with Bryan Singer's 'Jack The Giant Slayer,' and 'Into the Woods', however, none of which did very well.

As it stands, there is currently no actors attached to the project or its release date.
