Trailer: Live-Action PINOCCHIO Actually Looks Pretty Creepy!
Like 2019’s Cats, there’s something (perhaps) unintentionally creepy about the trailer for a live-action adaptation of Pinocchio! Then again, a story that includes kidnapping, transfiguration, and a monstrous whale has always been pretty intense!

Look for Pinocchio in theaters beginning December 25th–if that’s your bag, baby.
Synopsis:
Shot in stunning Italian locations, Matteo Garrone’s rich world of mystery and wonder stars Academy Award® winning actor Roberto Benigni as Geppetto, the old woodcarver whose puppet creation, Pinocchio, magically comes to life with dreams of becoming a real boy. Easily led astray, Pinocchio (nine-year-old Federico Ielapi) tumbles from one misadventure to another as he is tricked, kidnapped and chased by bandits through a wonderful world full of imaginative creatures – from the belly of a giant fish, to the Land Of Toys and the Field Of Miracles.
Pinocchio is directed by Matteo Garrone from a script he wrote with Massimo Ceccherini; the film stars Federico Ielapi, Roberto Benigni, Gigi Proietti, Rocco Papaleo, Massimo Ceccherini, Marine Vacth, Alida Baldari Calabria, Maria Pia Timo, Massimiliano Gallo, Gianfranco Gallo, Davide Marotta, Teco Celio, and Enzo Vetrano.
