Pinocchio (2022)

Pinocchio is a 2022 American musical fantasy film directed by Robert Zemeckis from a screenplay by Zemeckis and Chris Weitz. Produced by Walt Disney Pictures, Depth of Field and ImageMovers, the film is a live-action remake of Walt Disney's 1940 animated film of the same name, which is itself based on the 1883 Italian book The Adventures of Pinocchio by Carlo Collodi. It stars Tom Hanks, Cynthia Erivo, Giuseppe Battiston and Luke Evans with Benjamin Evan Ainsworth, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Keegan-Michael Key, and Lorraine Bracco in voice roles. The story follows a wooden puppet named Pinocchio (Evan Ainsworth), who is brought to life by a blue fairy (Erivo) after being crafted by an old Italian woodcarver named Geppetto (Hanks). While the role of Pinocchio's conscience Jiminy Cricket (Gordon-Levitt) attempts to guide Pinocchio in matters of right and wrong, Pinocchio encounters a host of unsavory characters in his efforts to become a real boy.

Twin Films

Ever feel like you’re getting movie déjà vu? That’s the phenomenon of twin films, where two studios release movies around the same time with strikingly similar plots, themes, or ideas. Sometimes it’s pure coincidence, other times it’s a competitive race to capture the audience first. Scripts circulating across multiple studios and the movement of staff between companies can lead to overlapping projects. Major news, cultural milestones, and other zeitgeisty topics can inspire multiple films on the same story. Sometimes a story is so good it has to be told twice, and sometimes we wish it hadn’t been. But which version is your favorite?
