Disneyâs been on a roll on the the live-action remake/re-imagining front since 2014âs
Maleficent (or, if you want to back a little further, 2010âs
Alice in Wonderland), so itâs hardly surprising that
Pinocchio, the Mouse Houseâs second animated feature film, is getting such treatment. The live-action
Pinocchio movie has been in the works since 2015, and ever since Robert Zemeckis officially signed on to direct in early 2020, the projectâs been making steady progress moving forward.
From whatâs been revealed so far, the live-action
Pinocchio movie (which Robert Zemeckis co-wrote with producer Chris Weitz) looks to be a relatively straightforward remake of the 1940 original, although obviously there will be some creative alterations. As for the movieâs cast, letâs go over whoâs joined the lineup of actors so far, which includes Tom Hanks scoring a key role.

Collider notes, Ryan Gosling, Donald Glover, and Ezra Miller were among the frontrunners back in 2018 when the movie first started to gain momentum.
Plot details are pretty much non-existent at this point, but if the studio really is hoping to hire a hot young actor, then it confirms that the film will take explore the formative years of Roald Dahl s iconic (not to mention eccentric) candy-maker.
