Vince Gilligan was eyeing this project as his feature film debut, but we never heard anything else on the project, and in August 2015, Disney announced Gigantic at the D23 Expo, which was also a much different version of the Jack and the Beanstalk tale, but Vince Gilligan wasn’t mentioned by the studio in their initial announcement, so it’s possible that it was either a different project, or Vince Gilligan simply backed out of the project.
After spending more than two years in development, Disney is giving the axe to its Jack and the Beanstalk project Gigantic.
Back in April 2015, when Breaking Bad creator Vince Gilligan sold a pitch to Disney for a much different Jack and the Beanstalk movie which was said to be a revisionist story.
Disney has yanked the November 25, 2020 release date for this Jack and the Beanstalk musical, with the studio stating that they hit a creative wall, so to speak, with the project.
