25 QUESTIONS

HUFFINGTON
03.10.13

because his name is in the title;

What’s the best part of Jack the
Giant Slayer? Stanley Tucci’s
Roderick.

13

Is Stanley Tucci channeling Alan
Rickman’s Sheriff of Nottingham from Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves
in Jack the Giant Slayer? Yes, but a
more cartoonish version.

14

Does Roderick betray the group
at some point? Yes. But, to be
fair to him, he all but announces
to the group that he is evil from
the beginning.

15

Why is Roderick evil? Roderick wants
to marry the princess, but she rejects him. Later, it becomes obvious that the princess is falling for
Jack (because his name is in the
title of the movie), and Roderick
doesn’t particularly like that.

16

Does Roderick happen to own a
crown that enables the wearer
to control the giants? Yes. And, yes,
you probably see where all of this
is going.

17

Do the giants have individual
personalities? Kind of. And
at least five of them have names:
Fallon, Fee, Fi, Fo and Fumm. But,
again, all of the giants are mean
and stupid, so each giant’s personality is just a variation of mean
and stupid.
Does Fallon have two heads for some
unknown reason? Yes.

19

Is Fee a tribute to the actor Fra
Fee who played Courfeyrac in Les
Misérables? No.
