Emily Blunt and Jason Segel will be starring with Jack Black in the upcoming film, Gulliver’s Travels.
Twentieth Century Foxis negotiating withEmily BluntandJason Segelto join Jack Black in “Gulliver’s Travels,” theRob Letterman-directed reimagining of the classicJonathan Swifttale.
Blunt had already been offered the role of Black Widow in “Iron Man 2,” but that may not be an option because of “Gulliver’s Travels.” Fox holds an option on the actress that was part of her deal when she co-starred in”The Devil Wears Prada,”and the studio may invoke it to see that she takes part in the giant tale.
While Blunt’s reps are still trying to work out scheduling so she can play both roles, it will be an uphill battle because of scheduling overlap. “Gulliver’s Travels” will shoot in the U.K. in late March; “Iron Man 2″ is expected to begin lensing in early April in Manhattan Beach, Calif.
Great casting so far, I love the old story. It will be really fun to see a new version with these actors. Hopefully they can manage to make it more than just a kids movie.
