Disney's live-action Pinocchio

[Drizzle]

I'm fine with that. Just please, PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, NO MOCAP.

 

[Silvermoth]

I think it’s pretty cool. If it works it works. Now let’s see the models for monstro

 

[Arachnerd]

I feel like they might water down Monstro severely though.

 

[sueb1863]

I'm wondering how they're going to water down the more horrific aspects of the book.

 

[terry78]

They'll find a way.

Can't wait to see Gepetto inside Monstro

Figaro looks cute

Can't wait to see Gepetto inside Monstro

Pinocchio: It's me Papa! (opens arms)
Gepetto: Ata'last I find'a mi bambino! (pushes Pinocchio aside, grabs and hugs soccer ball)

do we already know if it’s live action or.... Zemeckis typical uncanny animation?

Disney+ Tom Hanks ‘Pinocchio’ Movie Adds Luke Evans – Deadline

EXCLUSIVE: Deadline can tell you first that Beauty and the Beast Gaston star Luke Evans will play The Coachman in Disney’s live-action retelling of Pinocchio, directed by Robert Zemeckis and starring Tom Hanks as Geppetto.

Oh no he’s hot

 

[sueb1863]

So are they going to explain how Figaro and Gideon are both cats, but Figaro is a regular cat and Gideon walks upright, wears human clothes, and has human hands?

 

[terry78]

The coachman uplifted him.

 

[Doctor Jones]

I don't remember The Coachman which is appropriate given how bland an actor Luke Evans is. If The Coachman is memorable, I am sorry Coachman.

 

[DarkKnight88]

If The Coachman is memorable, I am sorry Coachman.

He turned all the kids into donkeys! How could you not remember!?

 

[Albright]

He‘s one of the most terrifying villains Disney has. He looks and acts like a pedophile.
And in addition to that he looks like a certain former POTUS...

 

[Boom]

The entire Pleasure Island sequence is nightmare inducing.

 

[DarkKnight88]

The amazing part is that none of the villains ever get their comeuppance. I kind of hope that doesn't change. All those kids who turned into donkeys, never got a happy ending.

 

[sueb1863]

There was a deleted scene in which Honest John and Gideon got arrested after trying to scam Pinocchio a third time. A few storyboards exist of the scene but that's it.

'Pinocchio' Casts Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Cynthia Erivo - Variety

 

[DarkKnight88]

Joseph Gordon-Levitt definitely has some wholesome cricket vibes.

 

[Sawyer]

In addition, Benjamin Evan Ainsworth, who previously starred in “Flora and Ulysses,” will voice Pinocchio, the puppet who dreamed of becoming a real boy

This kid owned his role in The Haunting of Bly Manor. This is good casting.

 

[DarkKnight88]

This kid owned his role in The Haunting of Bly Manor. This is good casting.

When he turns into a real boy at the end *spoiler alert*, I'll be terrified of him pushing Tom Hanks in a well.

 

[terry78]

I'd really like to see this in theaters just to see the spectacle but yeah.

 

[DarkKnight88]

I'm kind of surprised they aren't aiming for a theatrical release on this one. It's definitely one of the most iconic of the classics - if not the most iconic of the golden Disney era. Above Dumbo in terms of spectacle for sure. Peter Pan I get going straight to Disney+ but I think this could do Jungle Book numbers if done right.
