I Kill Giants Trailer (2018)

Trailer for I Kill Giants starring Zoe Saldana and Imogen Poots.

From the acclaimed graphic novel comes an epic adventure about a world beyond imagination. Teen Barbara Thorson (Madison Wolfe, The Conjuring 2) is the only thing that stands between terrible giants and the destruction of her small town. But as she boldly confronts her fears in increasingly dangerous ways, her new school counselor (Zoe Saldana, Guardians of the Galaxy) leads her to question everything she’s always believed to be true. I Kill Giants is an intense, touching story about trust, courage and love from the producers that brought you Harry Potter.

As crazy as it sounds, Halle Berry was at first considered for the role of Mrs. Molle. The actress was quickly dismissed, however, when Zoe Saldana was seen as the more bankable actress. Times have changed, eh?!

I'm a big fan of Graphic Novels, so I was surprised that I Kill Giants has gone under the radar for me. I'd think that I would have at least heard of this story, let alone the production. Right? But, then again, the cast feels very minimal and tight, so maybe that's it. Excuse making? Maybe!

Either way, I'm not entirely sold on what I'm seeing here just yet. It feels a whole lot like A Monster Calls, but that is entirely based on the trailer alone, with no knowledge of the source material. Case in point - Are these giants real? Or are they limited to a child's imagination? Hopefully the second trailer gives better insight -- and more visuals -- on these giants.
