A UK trailer has been released for Pinocchio, director Matteo Garrone’s upcoming live-action adaptation of the classic children’s tale The Adventures of Pinocchio which stars Roberto Benigni as the woodcarver Geppetto and Federico Ielapi as the magical puppet who longs to become a real boy; watch it here…
PINOCCHIO tells the tale of an old woodcarver named Gepetto (Roberto Benigni) who creates a puppet, which then magically comes to life. Gepetto names him Pinocchio (Federico Ielapi) and brings him up as his son. Pinocchio however finds it hard to be good and is easily led astray. He ends up stumbling from one misadventure to another – whether in the belly of a giant fish, in the Land of Toys or in the Field of Miracles. It is up to his loyal friend the Fairy (Marine Vacth) to help him see that his dream of becoming a real boy is only possible if he finally changes his ways.
Pinocchio is set for release in UK cinemas on August 14th.
