Guillermo del Toro’s Pinocchio
Fans of Academy Award-winning filmmaker Guillermo del Toro are in for a treat this holiday season. Netflix has released the much-anticipated trailer of his upcoming stop-motion film Guillermo del Toro’s Pinocchio.
Based on Gris Grimly’s design from his 2002 edition of the 1883 Italian novel The Adventures of Pinocchio by Carlo Collodi, del Toro’s reimagining will recall the darker elements of Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, which the director points out is quite similar to the Italian fairytale.
Pinocchio features an all-star cast to voice the classic characters, like Ewan McGregor as Cricket, David Bradley of Game of Thrones fame as the grieving woodcarver Geppetto, Finn Wolfhard of Stranger Things as Candlewick and Cate Blanchett as Sprezzatura.
