This time when Pinocchio becomes a real boy, he’s going to really become a real boy.
Variety reports that Zemeckis has chosen Joseph Gordon-Levitt to play the voice of Jiminy Cricket, who advises Pinocchio and sings the Disney classic “When You Wish Upon a Star.”
In addition, Benjamin Evan Ainsworth, who previously starred in “Flora and Ulysses,” will voice Pinocchio, the puppet who dreamed of becoming a real boy, with Keegan-Michael Key as the voice of Honest John and Lorraine Bracco as the voice of Sofia the Seagull, a new character.
That one features the voice of Ewan McGregor as Jiminy Cricket, David Bradley as Geppetto, and Tilda Swinton as the Blue Fairy.
