Tom Hanks in Robert Zemeckis’ Pinocchio.
Disney + confirmed the premiere in September of its real-action version of Pinocchiodirected by Robert Zemeckis and starring Tom Hanks as Gepetto.
The film, presented as a remake of the 1940 Disney classic, has been in the works since 2015. There are many directors and screenwriters who have been linked and there have been several rewrites of the story. Finally, the libretto is signed by Simon Farnaby, Chris Weitz and Robert Zemeckis himself (Back to the future, Polar Express).
In turn, screenwriter Weitz and his partner Andrew Miano are the producers of Pinocchio through his Depth of Field company, together with Zemeckis’s ImageMovers company.
