1st look at Ewan McGregor in Jack the Giant Killer!

Shooting on Bryan Singer's Jack the Giant Killer is finally underway after what to me seemed like an eternity. I think the first rumblings about the film started back in 2009 if my memory recalls.  The story centers around a long-standing peace between men and giants. The truce is broken when the king's daughter(Eleanor Tomlinson) is kidnapped. A young farmer(Nicholas Hoult) takes up the challenge of leading the expedition into the giants' land to rescue her.  Ian McShane is to play the king; Stanley Tucci is his treacherous advisor; Ewan McGregor is the leader of the king's royal guard; Bill Nighy and John Kassir are the two-headed leader of the giants.

The Daily Mail has snagged a couple of photos of McGregor all armored up and ready for battle. Looks pretty cool, and I think that's actor Eddie Marsan(Happy Go Lucky) next to him.

Jack the Giant Killer is set to open in theaters on June 15th, 2012!
