We reported back in March that Rob Letterman had signed on to direct the Goosebumps movie based on the popular children’s books series by author R.L. Stein, and today we have news that he could be reuniting with the lead from another one of his directorial projects, Gulliver’s Travels.

Jack Black is reported to be in talks to play a lead in Goosebumps according to The Wrap, and their source says that the actor would be playing a writer (much like R.L. Stein himself) who is terrified of his own characters that he writes about. Delightful.

We’ll keep you posted on the latest for Goosebumps.
