Pinocchio? No surprise. We already talked about that last year!
But now the word comes that guys from Warner Bros. are in talks with
Tim Burton to direct the whole thing.
And even better – apparently
Robert Downey Jr. would come on board to play Geppetto. I mean, that's good, right?
Are we all familiar with Pinocchio story? I guess we are, but just for a record, it follows a woodcarver named Geppetto in a small Italian village, who created a wooden puppet and dreamed of becoming a real boy.
The original tale comes from Italian author
Carlo Collodi‘s 1883 novel
The Adventures of Pinocchio.
At the end, I will just remind you that (like with
Snow White), there's also another Pinocchio project currently in production which is being developed through the Jim Henson Company. That one is a stop-motion feature with a script from
Guillermo del Toro and
Gris Grimley.
But let me ask you one thing – anyone out there really interested in Pinocchio project(s)?
I mean – really?
