Jack Black as Gulliver!
November 6, 2008
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.
