Is “Pinocchio” one of your favorite Disney movies?
While the new live-action Pinocchio movie that is planned isn’t coming from Disney, the classic Disney movie is the first thing that comes to mind anytime the character Pinocchio is mentioned – so any movie that comes out will have to compete with the Disney fairytale.
Warner Bros is currently working on producing a live-action version of Pinocchio, which will be produced by Dan Jinks with the script written by Bryan Fuller. Dan has already revealed that he was inspired by Tim Burton’s “Alice In Wonderland” to re-imagine Pinocchio in a new light – which could make things interesting!
