The film will join a select group of remakes, including Aladdin, The Lion King, and Beauty and the Beast. So far, Disney has been notorious for producing unique live-action adaptations of their cult-favorite films. Pinocchio looks to be no different.
The film is in good hands, directed by Robert Zemeckis, known for his fan-favorite films like Back to the Future, Forrest Gump, and Cast Away. A familiar face emerges in the trailer with Tom Hanks starring as Geppetto.
A star-studded cast joins Hanks with names like Robert Downey Jr., Cynthia Erivo, Luke Evans, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, and Keegan Michael-Key. The famous wooden doll, Pinocchio, will be voiced by Benjamin Evan Ainsworth, who starred in The Haunting of Bly Manor (Netflix) and Flora & Ulysses (Disney).
