About Pinocchio Movie:

Pinocchio is an American musical fantasy film directed by Robert Zemeckis from a screenplay by Zemeckis and Chris Weitz. Produced by Walt Disney Pictures, Depth of Field and ImageMovers, this film is a live-action remake of Walt Disney’s 1940 animated film Pinocchio, which is itself based on the 1883 Italian book The Adventures of Pinocchio by Carlo Collodi.

It stars Tom Hanks, Cynthia Erivo, and Luke Evans, with the voices of Benjamin Evan Ainsworth, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Keegan-Michael Key, and Lorraine Bracco.

Development of the live-action Pinocchio began in 1985, with Jim Henson and Steve Barron approached with the idea, but Disney turned down the project.

Disney eventually announced the remake film in April 2015 with Peter Hedges being reported to be writing the film’s script, before being replaced with Weitz in May 2017, who also went on to produce. Sam Mendes and Paul King were originally considered for directing, and Zemeckis was confirmed as director in January 2020.

By November 2018, it was reported that Hanks was in early talks to play Geppetto; he passed on the project after King’s departure but rejoined in August 2020. The main cast was announced in January and March 2021.

Principal photography began in March 2021 before finishing the following month. Alan Silvestri, who has collaborated in all of Zemeckis’s films, composed the score, who also wrote the new songs with Glen Ballard.

Pinocchio was released on September 8, 2022, by Disney+, as an original film and as part of Disney+ Day. Critical reception was negative and the film received six Golden Raspberry Award nominations, winning Worst Remake, Rip-off or Sequel.

Pinocchio Movie Storyline:

The reimagined story follows a wooden puppet named Pinocchio (Evan Ainsworth), who is brought to life by a blue fairy (Erivo) after being crafted by an old Italian woodcarver named Geppetto (Hanks). While the role of Pinocchio’s conscience Jiminy Cricket (Gordon-Levitt) attempts to guide Pinocchio in matters of right and wrong, Pinocchio encounters a host of unsavory characters in his efforts to become a real boy.

Pinocchio Movie Cast and Characters:

• Tom Hanks as Geppetto, an Italian woodcarver and toymaker who creates Pinocchio out of grief for the death of his young son.
• Benjamin Evan Ainsworth as Pinocchio, a living wooden puppet carved by Geppetto, and brought to life by the Blue Fairy. He seeks to learn about right and wrong so that he can become a real boy.
• Joseph Gordon-Levitt as Jiminy Cricket, an anthropomorphic cricket who acts as Pinocchio’s “conscience” and the partial narrator of the story.
• Keegan-Michael Key as Honest John, an anthropomorphic red fox con artist who convinces Pinocchio to go to Stromboli’s puppet show. He is often accompanied by Gideon, his mute, bumbling, anthropomorphic cat sidekick who serves as the film’s comic relief.

• Cynthia Erivo as The Blue Fairy, a magical fairy who brings Pinocchio to life and promises to turn him into a real boy if he proves himself brave, truthful and selfless.
