You should definitely go check it, amongst the other items that are for sale to help raise money for the Screen Actor’s Guild.

There’s talks of Aaron Johnson wanted for the role in Bryan Singer’s ‘Jack the Giant Killer’ which has just recently been greelit. Below is a snippet of a article with the link where you can read more.

The report is in the rumor bin right now, as many actors are being considered to play Jack.

As described when Singer signed on for the project, Jack is a farmer who is chosen to lead an expedition to rescue a princess after she is kidnapped by a giant. (All those who immediately thought of the ogre ‘Shrek’ and his rescue of Princess Fiona, please raise your hand.)
