Snow White may have been the fairest of them all in 2012, but that bean-stalk-climbing boy named Jack is poised to take over her title with this year's "Jack the Giant Slayer," directed by "X-Men: First Class" helmer Bryan Singer.

The film stomps into theaters March 1, but ahead of its release, MTV News is gifting you with not only an exclusive clip starring Nicholas Hoult and Eleanor Tomlinson, but an interview with Singer, in which the auteur talks at length about adapting the classic tale and the big technology it took to bring giants to life. Watch the clip above and check out the interview at MTV.
