Jason Segel and Emily Blunt have joined the cast of Gulliver’s Travels, according to multiple reports.

The pair are reportedly in negotiations to join Jack Black in the film, which is scheduled to begin shooting in March 2009.

Based off the 19th century book – whose title character will be played by Black – Gulliver’s Travels is the story of a travel writer going to the Bermuda triangle.  But, as is typically the case with the Bermuda Triangle in pre-21st century literature, things go horribly wrong, and Gulliver is washed ashore on a small island inhabited by tiny people.

How Blunt and Segel, from How I Met Your Mother and Forgetting Sarah Marshall, figure into this storyline has not been reported.  But WENN reports that if Blunt, The Devil Wears Prada, signs on to appear in Gulliver’s she would be passing on the role of The Black Widow in Iron Man 2.

Stay tuned for more news on Gulliver’s throughout the spring and summer.
