It’s been a few months since we brought you a trailer for GULLIVER’S TRAVELS. Needless to say it didn’t get a very warm welcome.
Maybe a second trailer for the film will help.
I can tell you that while watching I didn’t tune out as much as last time. I got really excited seeing Jason Segel, Emily Blunt, Chris O’Dowd (Roy!), and Catherine Tate (Donna Noble!). The trailer still seems to have more than its fair share of cheesyness though: bad jokes, iPhone product placement, and the part where Black says he’s invincible. Check out the video below and let me know what you think.
“In this contemporary re-imagining of Jonathan Swift’s classic tale, Jack Black stars as Lemuel Gulliver, a struggling writer who works as a mail delivery person at a major newspaper. To impress the travel editor, Gulliver finally ventures into uncharted waters – on a boat bound for the Bermuda Triangle. But the storm-tossed voyage lands him on a very different kind of island, one populated by a tiny civilization known as Lilliputians. After a rocky beginning, the gargantuan Gulliver becomes an inspiration to his new 6-inch-tall friends and they begin to learn from one another. Leading the Lilliputians to a victory over their neighboring island nemesis, Gulliver must still combat a mechanical giant – and come to terms with his own shortcomings – to finally emerge from his own little world.”
