20th Century Fox is really making some moves that piss me off, though all of that could go away if they just start making better movies by taking care of their existing properties. Also, they could be a little nicer when dealing with other studios (*cough* Watchmen *cough*).

From Variety:

Twentieth Century Fox is negotiating with Emily Blunt and Jason Segel to join Jack Black in “Gulliver’s Travels,” the Rob Letterman-directed reimagining of the classic Jonathan Swift tale.

John Davis and Ben Cooley are producing.

Blunt had already been offered the role of Black Widow in “Iron Man 2,” but that may not be an option because of “Gulliver’s Travels.” Fox holds an option on the actress that was part of her deal when she co-starred in “The Devil Wears Prada,” and the studio may invoke it to see that she takes part in the giant tale.

While Blunt’s reps are still trying to work out scheduling so she can play both roles, it will be an uphill battle because of scheduling overlap. “Gulliver’s Travels” will shoot in the U.K. in late March; “Iron Man 2″ is expected to begin lensing in early April in Manhattan Beach, Calif.

Poor Emily Blunt is stuck. She has a deal with Fox that is going to lock her in to playing Jack Black’s love interest, but it films at the exact same time as the role that could rocket her to A-List status opposite Robert Downy Jr, Don Cheadle, Sam Rockwell and Mickey Rourke.

Not that Jack Black and Jason Segel aren’t cool guys, but - come on…
