Deadline is reporting that young British actress, 19 year Eleanor Tomlinson has landed the female lead role opposite the recently announced Nicholas Hoult in Bryan Singer's Jack The Giant Killer.
She will play Isabella, the princess who runs away from the kingdom and is kidnapped by the giants. Before that happens, she runs into Jack, the son of a farmer and makes a strong enough impression that he leads a mission into the land of the giants to get her back.
Singer did an extensive search before deciding on Tomlinson, with model Gemma Ward and British actress Juno Temple all rumoured to be in the frame.
Eleanor (represented by Conway Van Gelder), from Beverley, started acted as a child and her first film role was playing the young version of Jessica Biel's character Duchess Sophie Von Teschen in Neil Burger's film The Illusionist, which also starred Edward Norton.

Hollywood actor Pierce Brosnan is the latest celebrity feeling the effects of the global economic crisis - his upcoming big-screen outing has reportedly been delayed due to a lack of funds.
The former James Bond star signed up to play Lord Charles Somerset in Heaven and Earth, a $20 million (£14 million) biopic of James Miranda Barry - a woman doctor who masqueraded as a man to follow a medical career.
Filming was due to start on the big budget movie last Thursday with a release date planned for later this year.
But the economic crisis has put paid to those plans - with U.K. newspaper The Independent reporting an unidentified British backer has failed to provide promised funds in time, forcing filming to be delayed.
