In 1985, Jim Henson and director Steve Barron approached Walt Disney Pictures with the idea of a live-action version of Pinocchio, but Disney turned down the project. [5] Barron still managed to make The Adventures of Pinocchio (1996), distributed by New Line Cinema. [6] On April 8, 2015, it was announced that Walt Disney Pictures was developing a live-action adaptation of the 1940 animated film Pinocchio. [7] Peter Hedges was reported to be writing the film's script. [7] On May 22, 2017, it was announced that Chris Weitz will replace Hedges as a screenwriter, as well as serve as a producer, while Sam Mendes was in talks to direct the project. [8] On November 13, 2017, Mendes stepped down as the director. [9] In the original movie, Pinocchio asks the Blue Fairy if he is a real boy and she answers his question saying he is not because the only way he can become a real boy making Geppetto's wish come true would be entirely up to him. But in this remake, he asks her again if he his a real boy and answers his question that he is, even though he is not at the moment. In the original movie, the Blue Fairy knows Pinocchio when she comes to grant him life. But in this remake, she does not know him and asks him what his name is. While the " naughty little boys" taken to Pleasure Island were all, in fact, boys, among them in the live-action remake, there are also little girls. Additionally, not only the boys turn into donkeys, but the girls as well. The most likely reason that Disney included girls in the 2022 remake was to avoid being sexist, as girls can also be troublesome and disobedient like what boys can. On August 21, 2018, Weitz revealed that the script was still in development and that filming was expected to occur in England and Italy, beginning at some point in 2019. [3] In November 2018, Tom Hanks had entered early talks to play Geppetto. [4] In January 2019, it was announced that Paul King had quit as the director due to family reasons.
