La Warner Bros. is preparing a new adaptation of the classic "Pinocchio" with the idea that Tim Burton be encouraged to direct it.
Jane goldman, scriptwriter of "Kick-Ass" and "X-Men: First Class", will take care of adapting the story of Carlo Collodi that Disney once brought to the screen in animation form.
In this case, the film would not be an animated film, if not a live action film, since the actor who could give life to Geppetto has even been considered, Robert Downey Jr.
At the moment neither Burton nor Downey Jr. have signed for this project, who if it has done it is Goldman, although Warner Bros. is very clear that it wants the director who has recently released «Frankenweenie"And the protagonist of the" Iron Man "saga in this new production.
It seems that 2013 may be the year of «Pinocchio"As in 2012 it has been Snow White, with films like the Spanish" Snow White "by Pablo Berger," Mirror, Mirror ", Disney's own live action version of its classic or" Snow White and the legend of the hunter ".
