After Breaking Bad wrapped up series creator Vince Gilligan wasted no time jumping back to TV, but now he’s looking to the big screen with a very different kind of project. Deadline reports that Disney has purchased Beanstalk, an updated version of the Jack and the Beanstalk fairy tale based on a “detailed outline” written by Gilligan. The project will be written by Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul‘s Tom Schnauz, with Gilligan reportedly seeing Beanstalk as a potential directing opportunity. Gilligan has directed multiple TV episodes for The X-Files, Breaking Bad, and Saul, but he hasn’t directed a feature film before — though he has written on movies as varied as Home Fries and Hancock.
