Tom Hanks Could Play Geppetto In Disney’s Live-Action Remake

Tom Hanks is one of Hollywood’s biggest names, and now his next role has potentially been revealed. Collider reports that Hanks is being eyed to play Geppetto in Disney’s upcoming live-action Pinocchio movie. Geppetto is the toymaker who builds Pinocchio out of wood, and then wishes on a star for Pinocchio to come to life. Magically, it works.

Disney’s live-action Pinocchio is being directed by Paddington’s Paul King, with Star Wars: Rogue One writer Chris Weitz producing. Paddington writer Simon Farnaby wrote the newest draft of the script, taking over for Harry Potter and the Cursed Child writer Jack Thorne.

According to Collider, the new Pinocchio has a budget of $150 million, with production expected to begin in summer 2019. If it’s anything like the 1940 original, you can expect a wild ride.

Hanks has worked with Disney before. He voices Woody in the Toy Story franchise, while he played Walt Disney himself in Saving Mr. Banks. His next big role is Fred Rogers in the upcoming untitled film about the iconic children’s TV show host.

Pinocchio is just the latest live-action remake from Disney. The company’s next big one is The Lion King, and Disney just recently released a stunning trailer for it. There are also live-action remakes of Mulan and Aladdin in the works, while some of Disney’s previous live-action reboots included Beauty and the Beast starring Emma Watson and The Jungle Book from Iron Man director Jon Favreau.

Multiple sessions will be spread across the two days, and those who make it into the alpha can participate in one or all of them. As is typical for an alpha, this will be used to test out matchmaking, server loads, and more.
