Emily Blunt and Jason Segel join “Gulliver’s Travels” Cast
According to Variety, Emily Blunt and Jason Segel have joined the cast of Gulliver’s Travels.
Gulliver’s Travels is a humorous re-imagining of the classic Jonathan Swift tale starring Jack Black as the title character. Blunt will play a Lilliputian princess and Gulliver’s love interest, while Segel will play Horatio, Gulliver’ best friend from Lilliput.
This news may be bittersweet for comic book geeks, however, because it decreases her chances of playing the Black Widow Natasha Romanoff in Iron Man 2. Blunt’s reps are still trying to work out the scheduling. Gulliver’s Travels films in the United Kingdom in late March, while Iron Man 2 begins shooting in early April in California.
Personally, I am a little more excited about this film now. I like Jack Black, but I loved Eily Blunt in The Devil Wears Prada, and Jason Segel is great every week as Marshall on How I Met Your Mother and in various Apatow films. Hopefully, they can work out a schedule and both films will be able to “pass the Blunt”.
