Dishy Brit Emily Blunt, along with Sarah Marshall forgetter Jason Segel, will be joining the modernized “re-imagining” of the classic Jonathan Swift tale. Blunt and Segel will play a couple on the island of Lilliput, the land of teensy people where Black’s roving reporter finds himself.
The new GULLIVER (co-written by Segel’s SARAH MARSHALL director Nicolas Stoller) comes from director Rob Letterman (MONSTERS vs. ALIENS).
Blunt will attempt to juggle her little-person work with a role as sexy Soviet spy (and future Avenger) Black Widow in IRON MAN 2 and will be seen later this year in THE WOLF MAN, and Segel is working on bringing back the Muppets and soon appears with Paul Rudd in I LOVE YOU, MAN.
