Blunted Growth

Jason Segel in negotiating while Emily Blunt has been offered to join the new film based on Jonathan Swift's classic tale " Gulliver's Travels" says Variety.

A modern version of the story has free-spirited travel writer Lemuel Gulliver (Jack Black), on assignment to the Bermuda Triangle, washes ashore on the hidden island of Lilliput which is home to a population of industrious yet tiny people.

Blunt would play the island's princess and the love interest of Horatio, Segel's character, a Lilliputian who befriends Gulliver.

Blunt involvement in Travel's depends upon her work on Iron Man 2

Dates are being worked out so that she can be a part of both projects, but if they can't it's likely she'll stick with 'Travels' over the "Iron Man" sequel due to a contract clause she has with the suits over at Fox.

Just yesterday though it was indicated that she could do both projects.

Rob Letterman is directing. Joe Stillman and Nicholas Stoller are scripting.

Shooting begins in March. IM 2 begins production this Spring.
