Guillermo del Toro Explains One of the Things That’ll Make His ‘Pinocchio’ Film So Different

By John Squires

 

 

We learned last year that Guillermo del Toro is going to be directing a stop motion animated Pinocchio film, a longtime passion project for del Toro that’s finally coming to life in the near future.

 

Del Toro will write, produce and direct a brand new version of the classic children’s tale about a puppet who wants to be a real live boy, based on Gris Grimly‘s designs.

 

As you’d probably expect, del Toro’s Pinocchio will be quite unlike past tellings of the tale – including Carlo Collodi’s original children’s novel and Disney’s animated classic.

 

Speaking with Variety this week, del Toro touched on one of the key differences he’s bringing to the table.

Reading the headline, I thought he signed up General Prayuth as lead actor for this movie.

Given his other films can we expect a Pinocchio that works for a Mexican drug cartel and stabs people to death with his nose?
