Jack Black Set For Lead Role in Gulliver's Travels

BuzzSugar — Thu, 06 Nov 2008 15:30:28 PST

Jack Black has signed on to play the title role in a "contemporary reimagining of the classic Jonathan Swift tale," Gulliver's Travels. Apparently director Rob Letterman has been attached to the project for a while, but Twentieth Century Fox quickly greenlit the project once Black signed on. Variety reminds us of the details:

Story centers on 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.

Though I liked School of Rock and I really liked Kung Fu Panda, I usually prefer my Jack Black in smaller side character doses, like Barry in High Fidelity or his supporting role in Tropic Thunder. I'll be curious to find out what he does with Gulliver.

What do you think of a "contemporary reimagining" of this story, toplined by Jack Black?
