Eleanor Tomlinson

 Eleanor Tomlinson is an actress to really keep an eye on this week as she battles giants in Jack The Giant Slayer.

The actress may have kicked off her acting career back in 2005 but the role of Isabelle in the Bryan Singer directed film is one of her biggest to date.

Throughout her career she has moved between TV and film projects with the likes of Alice In Wonderland and The Sarah Jane Adventures in recent years.

She kicked off her career in TV when she appeared in TV movie Falling back in 2005 movies The Illusionist and Angus, Thongs and Full-Frontal Snogging followed before she returned to TV.

Parts in Einstein and Eddington, The Sarah Jane Adventures and The Village all followed before landing a small part in Alice In Wonderland.

She took on the role of Fiona Chattaway in the Tim Burton directed film that starred Johnny Depp, Mia Wasikowska and Helena Bonham Carter.

But Jack The Giant Slayer is her biggest role to date as the story of Jack and the Beanstalk is given a bit of a makeover.

Bryan Singer is in the director's chair for the film while Tomlinson is joined on the cast list by Nicholas Hoult, Stanley Tucci and Ewan McGregor.

She takes on the role of Princess Isabelle - a strong and independent woman who wants to be free to live and explore.

But she finds herself on an adventure that she never expected when a beanstalk grows through the house she and Jack and in and they find themselves in the land of the giants.

Jack The Giant Slayer is a movie that has already topped the U.S. box office and that success is set to continue as fairy story movies have been incredibly popular over the last few years.

And we are going to be seeing plenty of Tomlinson this year as she has already completed work on another movie Styria, which is directed by Mauricio Chernovetzky and Mark Devendorf.

Max Irons, Janet McTeer and James Frain are all also on the cast list for what looks set to be a series not to miss.
