Jack Black is set to star as the title character in a contemporary version of Gulliver’s Travels for Twentieth Century Fox.
The original book by Jonathan Swift consists of 4 parts and follows Lemuel Gulliver, the first part of which (and most known/used) sees Gulliver end up in Lilliput, where to his surprise, he finds an island populated by people who are only 6 inches tall.
Shark Tale director Rob Letterman (who also helmed the upcoming animated DreamWorks feature, Monsters vs. Aliens with Conrad Vernon) has signed on to handle the directorial duties for this big-screen reimagining of Gulliver’s Travels with Forgetting Sarah Marshall director Nicholas Stoller and Joe Stillman (Shrek) writing the script.

Arrrg! Jack Black is best as a clown leave him that way. He dropped out of Manwitch for this?

Well it is a satire, so maybe a comic actor is a good choice?
