Guillermo del Toro is working on one too.

Hoping he's faithful to the book and includes Pinocchio killing Jiminy Cricket with a hammer, and Pinocchio being hanged in a tree by the cat and fox.

You really think Hollywood execs decided to cast Hanks in order to annoy anonymous, insomniac conspiracy theorists who sit up all night and day posting about Q and the elite satanic pedophile ring? Or do you think it might have something to do with him being one of the safest box office draws?

The same people posting about this crap were claiming Hanks was really dead just a couple weeks ago. Before that, they were claiming he didn’t really have Covid. Before that, most of those creepy shut-ins barely had any idea who he was.

Sidenote: people who see signs of pedophilia EVERYWHERE they turn creep me the frick out. Projection is a real thing.

Anyway, I’m sure it’ll be a good movie.

Tom is a movie star. He’s a decent actor, BUT actually, he’s more of a likable movie star. That’s not an insult. He’s in rare company. To me, he’s in the category of people like Jimmy Stewart or Carey Grant
The last major feature film that Jimmy Stewart appeared in was The Big Sleep in 1978, and that was a cameo wherein he did all his scenes in one room, in a wheelchair no less. He was 69 at the time. He did a few minor roles in TV movies and the like, but for the most part his acting days were over by then.

Cary Grant’s last screen performance was in Walk Don’t Run in 1966. He decided afterwards that if he was too old to play the leading man in a film, he would rather retire, which he did. He was 62.

Tom Hanks just turned 64.

Bad casting if they put Tom as Geppetto.

Is he the only actor in Hollywood?

I think Freeman would crush this role.


True, but Morgan Freeman's (left) hand is paralyzed after that accident he had a few years back.

They've been able to hide it in most roles recently, but I'm not sure it would go unnoticed as a wood craftsman.
