Variety says Disney has announced the date for the remake of the 1940 classic, Pinocchio. It will drop exclusively on Disney+ and star Tom Hanks as Geppetto, the woodcarver who makes Pinnochio out of wood and treats him as his own son.

In addition to Tom Hanks, the live-action stars Benjamin Evan Ainsworth, Cynthia Erivo, Keegan-Michael Key, Lorraine Bracco, Luke Evans, and Joseph Gordon-Levitt who will voice Jiminy Cricket. Robert Zemeckis, director of Back to the Future and Forrest Gump, will direct the new film.

The live-action film will premiere on September 8th, 2022, which is also Disney+ Day, which celebrates when the streaming service initially dropped. Disney has promised even more premieres that day from Disney, Pixar, National Geographic, Star Wars, and Marvel.

Disney has also released a trailer for it. Watch below!!

Another live-action remake of an animated classic will be “The Little Mermaid” set to come out on May 26th 2023, which just so happens to be my 25th birthday! “The Little Mermaid” will be out in theaters, while “Peter Pan & Wendy” will be a Disney+ exclusive.

How do you feel about the cast? Do you think Pinocchio will translate well into a live-action?

  Tik Tok isn’t ruining the music industry please. Record labels have always wanted their artists to give them money. Artists were forced to get radio hits and now they’re forced to get tik tok hits. Same shit https://t.co/AqAGT6bqhV

  at the end of the day remember that it’s not tik tok ruining the music industry just the greed from those in charge that don’t care about actual art just profit… once again circling back to how capitalism ruins everything :)
