Jack Black in his most believable (?) role yet ... Gulliver

From the blog I Watch Stuff comes the news that Jack Black, comedic actor known for his roles in such classics as Nacho Libre and Tropic Thunder, has signed up for a new Twentieth Century Fox adaptation of Gulliver's Travels. Quoting from Variety:

"Twentieth Century Fox is moving forward with a bigscreen adaptation of "Gulliver's Travels," with Jack Black taking on the title role as his next project."

Should be interesting. If memory serves, the story is about a regular-sized man (in this case, a travel writer) who gets shipwrecked on the island of Lilliput, filled with tiny little people called Lilliputians. So, if IMDB lists Jack Black as being 5'7" ...

... how bleeding tiny are the Lilliputians going to be??
