Disney is coming at us with another huge live-action movie, and this time, it's Pinocchio.
The film stars Tom Hanks as Geppetto, Joseph Gordon-Levitt as the "conscience" Jiminy Cricket, Cynthia Erivo as Blue Fairy, Keegan-Michael Key as John, and Luke Evans as the antagonistic Coachman.
'Pinocchio' will premiere on Disney+ on September 8th. Fans all over the internet could not be happier about it.
Starring Tom Hanks, Luke Evans, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, and more, the story follows the wood-carver Geppetto as he creates the wood boy Pinocchio who gets himself into a ton of trouble. The trailer was released during Good Morning America Tuesday morning on the 31st of May.
Geppetto, played by Tom Hanks, also utters some of the most famous Disney words of all time. "Star light, star bright, first star I see tonight." he says. "I wish I may, I wish I might, have the wish I wish tonight."
"Things are not going to be the same as they were in the animation. The storyline is very, very similar, but there were some characters that [Zemeckis] was able to dramatically enhance, and the Coachman is one of those," said Evans on the D23 podcast.
"I can't tell you too much because I want it to be a surprise, but there are some really wonderful gifts that he gave me as an actor with the character."
People are obsessed with the casting choices, as they absolutely should be. The cast is STACKED. I already know this is going to be one of the best live-action Disney movies to date.
It hits that sweet spot of staying true to the original Pinocchio Disney film while also adding the perfect amount of live-action realism.
To be honest, September 8th could not come around any sooner!
