Guillermo del Toro seeks a Stop-Motion ‘Pinocchio’

Submitted by Travis on Thursday, 13 November 20082 Comments

Here’s some interesting news… for all the del Toro fans out there, he apparently wants to produce a stop-motion animated version of ‘Pinocchio’ with Gris Grimly helming the project from the director’s chair. Guillermo del Toro is staying very busy, but that’s OK with us. It seems everything he touches turns to Gold! (P.S. - Be sure to read the full article!)

In Grimly’s version of PINOCCHIO, once there was a lonely woodcutter named Geppetto-who dreamed of having a boy of his own. So one day he carved a boy out of wood and named him Pinocchio.When the puppet comes to life, it’s Geppetto’s dream come true.Except Pinocchio turns out to be not such a nice boy after all. Pinocchio enjoys nothing better than creating mischief and playing mean tricks. As he discovers, being bad is much more fun than being good. For a while, anyway. Happily for Pinocchio, he will learn that there is much more to being a real boy than having fun. — SpookyDan, BD

    This is going to be sick if it comes to fruition. I can see no-one else other than Guillermo helming this film.

    I think it would be sweet if it was live action all except for Pinocchio puppet himself. Cool and probably a little creepy at the same time. Anyone know if this might be the case? Or is it meant to be fully stop motion?
