Tom Hanks is all greyed out and mustachioed for his role as the wood-carver Geppetto for Disney+’s forthcoming live-action adaptation of Pinocchio. In the children’s story, Geppetto not only creates the puppet but he also takes care of him like a son.
Pinocchio will tell the classic tale of a wooden toy who wants nothing more than to be a real boy, as originally penned in Carlo Collodi’s The Adventures of Pinocchio. It’s just one of two Pinocchio film adaptations set to hit streamers later this year, as Guillermo del Toro and Mark Gustafson’s stop-motion animated version will debut on Netflix in December.
