Well, here’s some surprising news…
Warner Bros. and Robert Downey Jr. have enlisted a new screenwriter for their planned live-action Pinocchio movie, with The Hollywood Reporter revealing that Paul Thomas Anderson (There Will Be Blood, Inherent Vice) has signed on to pen the script with a view to directing.
The project – which will see Downey taking on the role of Pinocchio’s creator Geppetto, as well as producing – has been in development for a number of years now, with previous drafts from Bryan Fuller (Hannibal), Jane Goldman (Kingsman: The Secret Service) and Michael Mitnick (The Giver).
