It sounds like an interesting project, and here’s hoping that Guillermo del Toro can get it made.
While some of his work can be divisive (hey there Crimson Peak), there’s no question that his sensibilities and style are top-notch.
The director is looking at some increased clout thanks to The Shape of Water, which is already beginning to drum up Oscar buzz.
However, considering that del Toro is also primed to develop the Fantastic Voyage remake, perhaps we’ll still have to wait a while for Pinocchio to get off the ground.
