Your asking this after three two remakes of the 1950's sci fi movie The Thing, numerouus Batman and Superman remakes, god knows how many Three musketeers films, Robin Hood, etc etc etc.
And the three films you're questioning in threads, appear to be the best things that will be released in years.
Almost sure this was posted before. Oh well, I plan to see it ether way.
"Jack and the Beanstalk is an English folktale. The tale is closely associated with the tale of Jack the Giant-killer, and is known under a number of versions."
Doing some looking around on the 2 and it MIGHT be the Giant Killer was the 1st of the two.
Neither Jack or his tale are referenced in English literature prior to the eighteenth century, and his story did not appear in print until 1711. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack_the_giant_killer
The origin of Jack and the Beanstalk is unclear. However, Sir Francis Palgrave once wrote that it was most likely that the tale arrived with the Viking boats.[clarification needed] The earliest printed edition which has survived is the 1807 book The History of Jack and the Bean Stalk, printed by Benjamin Tabart.

Point taken.

Yes and No. Yes, in the sense that material that people are familiar with is a much easier sell. No in the sense that Hollywood is interested in spending big money to make a new world/universe only fully fleshed out in the head of a off centered dude in flip flops.
