Jack Black is set to take the title role in Twentieth Century Fox's film adaptation of Gulliver's Travels.

Shark Tale helmer Rob Letterman will direct the big-budget flick, a modern-day adaptation of the Jonathan Swift classic.

According to Variety, the story concerns one Lemuel Gulliver, a free-spirited travel writer who, on an assignment to the Bermuda Triangle, suddenly finds himself a giant among men when he washes ashore on the hidden island of Lilliput, home to a population of industrious, yet tiny, people.

Nick Stoller (Forgetting Sarah Marshall) and Joe Stillman (Shrek) penned the screenplay, with production set to start next March.

Don't know how I feel about that. Most films miss the point of Gulliver's Travels and the depths of the satire.

I haven't heard of that before, but Jack Black's a pretty hysterical guy. Perhaps it won't disappoint its fans.
