| The movie arrives to Italian cinemas this December |
your trusted spy will show you something that is also out this Christmas: first trailer and poster for the latest Italian big screen adaptation of famous
PINOCCHIO starring this time Oscar winner
Roberto Benigni in the lead role, not the Pinocchio (he already played him back in 2002 in that godawful film that he also wrote and directed), but his daddy Geppetto. If you can tolerate his style of overzealous acting, you can check out the trailer below, if nothing else it has enchantingly beautiful and suitably festive music in it.

puppet named Pinocchio suddenly comes to life.The movie will hit Italian cinemas December 19th and French ones next March, but no release dates for other countries just yet. The movie was directed by
Matteo Garrone, known for the uber weird
Tale of Tales with Salma Hayek from a few years ago, so I'm guessing we can expect many bizarre moments in this one too?
Looks great! I hope it's not sad though. Can't take more sadness this year lol!
ReplyDeleteIt seems like it might be, sadly :( Just watching Roberto's horrid acting is sad enough for one life :)
DeleteInteresting.
ReplyDeleteIndeed
DeleteThis could be a worthy live-action remake? Hard to tell just from that one trailer. Wooden Pinocchio looks kinda creepy though.
ReplyDeleteCreepy was my impression too!
DeleteWho plays the whale?
ReplyDeleteAnd will they go for the diversity for that one?
DeletePinocchio does look creepy, but I suppose a wooden boy would look creepy anyway. I thought the trailer looked enchanting. One that I'll definitely keep my eye out for.
ReplyDeleteI loved the music in it, the story itself was always creepy to me.
DeleteI may have to give this one a try.
ReplyDeleteBenigni can be an acquired taste but the story is universal.
XOXO
Hope it gets to cinemas near you!
DeletePinocchio always freaked me out. The Disney version always made me cry when all the boys turned into donkeys. I don't think I could handle this film with a lead that does overzealous acting.
ReplyDeleteOooh, there is the whole donkey train in the trailer :)
DeleteI saw that. I watched it on mute, and the whole trailer was super creepy.
DeleteWatch it with the sound on, the music is delightful in it.
DeleteI just watched it with my daughter and she agreed it’s creepy with sound or on mute :). But, the music is delightful if we close our eyes. Lol
DeleteWe do ever so love festive music.
