Blunt and Jason Segel are in talks to join Jack Black in Gulliver’s Travels, with Shark Tale director Rob Letterman taking up directorial duties. Written by Nicholas Stoller and Joe Stillman, the “contemporary re-imagining” will see a travel writer named Gulliver, who takes an assignment to visit the Bermuda Triangle, and somehow washes up on an island where he’s a giant compared to the tiny population. Blunt is set to play Black’s love interest, a princess of the island of Lilliput. Segel will play Horatio, Gulliver’s Lilliputian friend who helps him escape from trouble.
