Disney Is Developing A Live-Action PINOCCHIO

It looks like another live-action Disney remake is on the horizon.  Disney has plans for a live-action retelling of Pinocchio with Peter Hedges writing the script.This version will be loosely based on the original story about a marionette carved from wood who dreams of becoming a real boy with a penchant for stretching the truth. Pinocchio is based on the 1883 novel, The Adventures of Pinocchio written by Carlo Collodi.

The original 1940 Disney animated version has been remade several times over. There is also another Pinocchio inspired movie in development from Guillermo del Toro in the works. That version will be stop-motion animated with a much darker tone.
