For some grounds , everyone wants to make a new Pinocchio movie . Guillermo del Toro test . Robert Downey Jr. tried . And , of class , Disney is trying , building off the develop success of its live - legal action remakes of classical animation . Now there ’s been a significant update to the Disney rendering of the narrative with Oscar winner Sam Mendes presently in talk to target .
Mendes , who engineer the last two James Bond films and succeed an Oscar for American Beauty , had been attached to remakeJames and the Giant Peachfor the company but has now moved onto Pinocchio . He has n’t stated a reason why , but an educated surmisal would be some combination of two things — Beauty and the Beast ’s insane achiever pushing all of these movie into overdrive being the main one , as well as the egression of a more advanced handwriting . When the movie was first announced , Peter Hedges ( About a Boy ) was writing the film . Whether or not that ’s still the main draft is unclear .
Pinocchio joins a long ( very , very tenacious ) list of properties that Disney is currently direct for live - action remakes . Mulan is likely to be the next one in theaters ; directed by Niki Caro , it ’s due out in November 2018 . Mary Poppins Returns will be after that at Christmas 2018 , and Jon Favreau ’s Lion King will be out July 2019 . In between , Disney has several other dates slot for possible “ Live Action Fairy Tales , ” and among the rival are Tim Burton ’s Dumbo , Guy Ritchie ’s Aladdin , and others .
As for those other Pinocchio movies … I ’d be lying if I said there was news .
