This weekend marks the film's initial, limited, theatrical release - meaning it won't get to my area for at least another week or two - however, thanks to its simultaneously being available to rent digitally through Amazon Prime, I didn't have to wait, and I'm happy to report that this is a pretty worthy adaptation. It was a series that I had long heard great things about, and one which I was happy to have finally gotten the chance to read this past week. ❉ News source: We Are Cult is not responsible for the content of this news release.I Kill Giants (2017), NR, 1h 46min - This film is a live action adaptation of the 2008 Image Comics series of the same name, created by Joe Kelly and JM Ken Niimura. ❉ I Kill Giants is released on DVD 2 July, from Kaleidoscope Home Entertainment.
