With filming now underway on writer-director Matteo Garrone’s (Gomorrah, Dogman) new take on the classic fairytale, we have our first official image from Pinocchio starring Oscar-winner Roberto Benigni, which you can find here courtesy of Deadline…

Garrone’s take on the classic Carlo Collodi children’s story sees Benigni – who wrote, directed and starred in his own live-action version of Pinocchio back in 2002 – taking on the role of the woodcarver Geppetto. Also featuring in the cast of the film are Federico Ielapi, Gigi Proietti, Rocco Papaleo, Massimo Ceccherini, Matilda De Angelis, Alida Baldari Calabria, Alessio Di Domenicantonio, Maria Pia Timo and Davide Marotta.
