Robert Zemeckis is in early talks to direct Disney's live-action "Pinocchio."
Andrew Miano and Chris Weitz will produce through their company Depth of Field with Weitz penning the script. "Paddington" director Paul King had originally been tapped to direct but had to leave the project for unknown reasons at the beginning of the year. David Heyman, who was on board to produce, is also no longer involved with the film.

Though a deal hasn't closed yet, Zemeckis has been eyeing the project since this summer. He was still, however, working on his current pic "The Witches" for Warner Bros. and didn't want to commit to a new film until "The Witches" made more progress in production. With that film in post-production now, Zemeckis began turning his sights on his next project, with "Pinocchio" high on his list

Knowing Zemeckis, this will barely even qualify as live action so you're in luck.

 

[¡ B 0 0 P !]

Somebody needs to stop Disney. This insanity has gone on long enough.

 

[CHC]

starring Jeff Sessions

[Randomly Generated]

This movie will be wonderfully creepy, probably in an unintentional way.

 

[DMczaf]

I'm ready for a live-action adaptation of Avatar

 

[lobdale]

"Who should we get to direct the next live action disney hit"
"the guy who produced mars needs moms"
"ship it"

 

[Dan Thunder]

More excited for Del Toros version.

I actually have this movie and the cover scared the hell out of 5-year-old me. The movie itself was even creepier.

 

[Youngfossil]

No, what is you doing Disney

 

[Doggg]

Come on, man. You directed Back to Future 1-3. Forrest Gump. You can do better. Believe in yourself!

 

[Dimple]

Nightmare fuel confirmed.

 

[J.W. Stillwater]

Why bother when this masterpiece exists:

 

[Acorn]

Song of the South is gonna be the only Disney property without a live adaption.

 

[DiipuSurotu]

DJ Qualls as Pinocchio

I'd rather he be doing Flash right now and a lot of these Live Action remakes lack the directors personal flair. Aladdin seems like a very tamed down Guy Ritchie movie, could've been directed by anyone.

 

[DiipuSurotu]

Why did Paul King leave the project?

 

[Lynchian Anomaly]

Waiting patiently for Live Action remakes of Pixar movies.

I have confidence it won't be worse-looking than original Sonic

 

[G_Shumi]

As long as they have this screencap in the movie, we'll be alright:

 

[Sandfox]

 

[Bitanator]

They let him back in the building after Mars Needs Moms? Thought they would never work with him again

I'm not high on these live action remakes but I've always dream casted RDJ as Jiminy Cricket for an inevitable Pinocchio.

 

[I am a Bird]

But how will he add time travel into it?

 

[TheGreatDirector]

I guess he'll be a real boy after all.

 

[Soupman Prime]

Just don't watch it. I'm sure there are people who enjoy these movies. Didn't see Cinderella, Dumbo or Beauty and the Beast but did see Lion King and Jungle Book. They're ok movies, not terrible.

I'd probably see this if it looks good.

 

[FantasticMrFoxdie]

MAKE THEM STOP
THEY CANT KEEP GETTING AWAY WITH IT

I guess he'll be a real boy after all.

[Loan Wolf]

Give us a live action Atlantis, Disney

 

[Deleted member 3294]

This reminds me, I hope that Guillermo del Toro's stop motion Pinocchio movie is still happening.

 

[Ryuhza]

Why did Paul King leave the project?

Click to shrink...

Dunno, he was the one thing that gave me hope.

That said, I'm... intrigued by the idea of a Zemeckis Pinocchio. Lot of places he could inject some ill-advised tech.

 

[Deleted member 17388]

Live Action Kingdom Hearts when?

Jacob Tremblay as Sora.

 

[Pein]

Gross.

goddamn Disney, give it a rest.

 

[HammerOfThor]

Didn't they already do this with the kid from Home Improvement?

Edit: beaten.

I feel like that please clap Jeb Bush gif, if he were saying please stop instead.

Best modern day Pinocchio story is Spielberg's A.I.

 

[Bor Gullet]

Can't wait to see how creepy Zemeckis will make Pinochio look.
