Robert Zemeckis in talks to direct Disney’s live-action Pinocchio! Disney’s live action Pinocchio remake has let its conscience be its guide and chosen Oscar-winner Robert Zemeckis (Forrest Gump, Back to the Future) to direct!
He had planned to make a version of The Beatles’ Yellow Submarine in performance capture but Disney cancelled that film.
Zemeckis is currently in post-production on his adaptation of Roald Dahl’s The Witches for Warner Bros. starring Anne Hathaway.
The last film he did in that style, 2009’s A Christmas Carol, was also for Disney.
