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.
