and that's why i had to kill them all

In a contemporary re-imagining of the classic tale, Gulliver is a big-talking mailroom clerk who, after he's mistakenly assigned a travel piece on the Bermuda Triangle, suddenly finds himself a giant among men when he washes ashore on the hidden island of Lilliput, home to a population of very tiny people.  At first enslaved by the Lilliputians, and later declared their hero, Gulliver learns that it's how big you are on the inside that counts.

...have the filmmakers read Swift?

I believe the usual answer to such questions is "I wanted to do a fresh reimagining without any influences of the original". Or, "tl;dr".

Saw a little interview clip of Jack Black, and he claimed he *had*. Said that the humor actually holds up centuries later, compared to original films from 10-20 years ago that are now forgotten pieces of crap.

And yet, for some reason, this movie, like I think all Gulliver adaptations, won't have anything other than Lilliputians.

I can believe that, actually. He gives me the impression of being smarter than most of the movies he's in, if that makes sense.

I thought most did Lilliputians and Brobdingnag and dumped the rest. Although the Ted Danson version also did Houyhnhnms.
