Tom Hanks is in talks to reunite with CastAway director Robert Zemickis, playing Geppetto in Disney’s live-action remake of Pinocchio

the latest in a long line of live-action remakes of its animated movies such as “Aladdin,” “Beauty and the Beast” and “The Lion King.”

The original “Pinocchio” was released in 1940, produced by Walt Disney Productions and based on Carlo Collodi’s children’s novel “The Adventures of Pinocchio.” The story centers on a wood-carver named Geppetto who carves a wooden puppet brought to life by a fairy — and told he will become a real boy if he proves himself to be “brave, truthful, and unselfish.”

Tom Hanks? again? Come on. He is in everything under the sun. Enough already.

Nooooo not wildly inappropriate casting choice at all

How Tom Hanks is dead. And has been for some time now. Unless they got a successful clone of him?!

He can do voiceover from his Greek home imprisonment.

How fitting

GE- PEDO

no thank u

do you realize the damage that tom hanks has caused to the many children that he has come in contact with then like a scared child runs to a greek nation hopping from reality to fantasy ah does the white rabbit have a way to tell his fans where the red shoes come from!

Why bother. Not many are going to watch any of his movies ever again. Eff Hellywood !

Unless he’s going away in cuffs I don’t wanna see him again. SaveOurChildren

Perhaps Guantanamo Bay has a voiceover studio

Don’t you mean GePEDO

🍕

Hopefully no children are on set lol

You meant to say Pedopetto?

nobody wants to watch anything starring a pedo.

Dont touch me there, Tom, I'm a real boy now!

savethechildren saveourchildren StopHumanTrafficking

He’s a pedo lock him up

Fitting

IPOT1776 Ha!

They want Trader Joe's to change their product names but apparently it's OK for Tom Hanks to play Geppetto. Pinocchio

If he is innocent why doesn't he just come out and say it. Pedo around kids ...wow so hollywierd

Geppeddo, there fixed it for you

Pinocchio is locked in a tiny bird cage, trapped in a life of servitude where he must perform lest he be chopped into firewood. Not halfway through the movie, and we already have child abduction, human trafficking, and a serious threat of dismemberment..... just sayin'

Do they allow movies to be made in Gitmo? I bet he's excited for pleasure Island with all the little boys.

He would be a better fit as the coachman. He was meant for that role.

Pedo

Fits perfectly for a Hollywood pedo

Pedo playing in a pedo movie 👏🏼

The puppeteer

Lock him up

Of course he'd want a role where he can be close to children. 🤮

🍕 🍕 🍕 🍕 🍕 🍕

He would

I hear he has a prison cell👍🏻

Hanx is a pedo

Stop the lies!! Hanks and his wife are dead and YOU KNOW IT

PEDO PEDO PEDO LEDO LEDO Pedo pedo pedi

Where is Hanks now Greece 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂

Disney moving to Greece as well

More like Gep”pedo”

Live action is the new age of how children will experience childhood cartoon classics.

SaveTheChildren fucknopedos

The toothache scene in castaway tho

Maybe trump* can play the puppet.

How is he going to do that wen he is dead?

I don’t understand. I googled Tom Hanks and looked at all of the articles and they all say something along this lines of this: I’m dead serious when asking this, where did people see/hear that he a legit pedo

He should play Pinocchio as he’s a liar

Great actor

Sick pedo movie

This won’t be good. Even with Hanks. Zemeckis’ last good movie was Flight, and his last movie, Welcome to Marwen, was awful.

I know who’d make a great Geppetto for this...

Ironic.

Will it be filmed in Greece? If he comes back here, he'll be arrested!!!! He's certainly Gep- PEDO!!!!!!!! YUCK

Nope

SAVEOURCHILDREN

Yeah but he’s not German. There’s a rumor they’re considering christophwaltz too which would be wonderful.

Bullshit, he will. Answer about Sarah Ruth Ashcraft, Tom!

PEDO

Wow!!!!.....didn't know they done day release from Guantanamo bay!!...😂

just searched and it turns out that pre-traumatic stress is indeed a thing

Anything with hanks and zemeckis I’m all for

Where's there's smoke like PEDOPHILIA ACCUSATIONS there is TOM HANKS!

Hope it’s as good as Cats. meow

Why do we need this when we have Guillermo del Toro making his own Pinocchio? Why?

Ick

JacobTremblay as Pinocchio Ana_d_Armas as Blue Fairy Please Disney I beg you...

YIkes... read the room.

PEDO TOM

Exellent Tom & Roberto THANK YOU!!! Well done to Emma Thompson too for Walt Disney & MP.

Will filming, and production be in Athens, err?

another zemeckis picture about inappropriate man-boy relationships

Ugh 😩

oh great, here come the conspiracy heads. sigh.

It's Zemeckis not Zemickis
