Tom Hanks to create Pinocchio
In 2018, the news came from Hollywood that Disney plans to invite Tom Hanks to play Geppetto in the game remake of Pinocchio. Since then, the blockbuster team has undergone major changes, but Disney still see Tom as the creator of the wooden boy. According to authoritative sources, the company is ready to resume communication with the actor.The first round of negotiations took place in late 2018, when Paul King (The Adventures of Paddington) took over the director's chair for Pinocchio. A few weeks later, the Briton left the project. Soon it was reported that negotiations with Hanks had reached an impasse. Last fall, we reported that Robert Zemeckis might be the new director of the film. Based on today's reports, Disney has finally closed the director deal. The arrival of Zemeckis was the reason for the resumption of negotiations with Hanks: the actor is familiar with the director for the work on "Forrest Gump", "Outcast" and "The Polar Express".  Tom has already read the current version of the script and was pleased with what he read. It seems that the paperwork for participation in the film will be just a matter of time.
