Gulliver Travels To Greenwich

June 4, 2009 By Rob Powell

If you've been into Greenwich in the last few days, you will have noticed the heavy presence of a Fox film crew that are making a new live action version of Gulliver's Travels. The movie is set for release on 2010 and stars Jack Black, Billy Connolly, Emily Blunt, Catherine Tate and James Corden.

I had a wander around today and got some snaps whilst filming took place and the extras relaxed between takes. My rather smart new Canon EOS 500D roused the suspicions of someone in security who asked if I was a journalist, and I honestly said no, but aren't we all citizen journalists these days?

I was struck by how friendly people were and some people were positively trying to catch my eye to tell me about the film. Here's a few pics that I took, including one of a fantastic looking dog called "Miska" (not sure on the spelling) who has previously appeared in the Golden Compass and the "Legend of Dick and Dom" where she apparently turned into Zoe Ball. That's quite a CV! Like the pro that she is, she was happy to pose for a photo.

    I loved the way they turned Greenwich Park into a car park for the crew for the last few days.

    Are they going to be filming any scenes for Gulliver Travels in Wales?
    I heard that they were going to film some scenes on Freshwater West Beach – which is where they filmed some scenes for the new Robin Hood movie.
    – maybe this was just a rumour???

    […] I watched the movie in 3D and it did add to the viewing experience. Jack Black plays his usual self from the days of School of Rock, and I will admit that he paid the role well. The movie makes a pitch of many of Fox’s major movies of the 20th century. The other actors play their role as supporting characters of Mr. Black. I recognised that Lilliput was shot in Greenwich.
