No firm release date given but December window is listed.

I like how there's a focus on a parent's love for their kid. This will be a nice watch for Christmas under a Netflix trial account

 

[Soapbox Killer]

Netflix movies don't tend to be great, this looks to buck that trend.

 

[MastaKiiLA]

I still have to watch the 2020 film that I bought. GDT is sure to make a banger. But I was hoping he'd do something darker with the material.

Del Torro has the reputation to say "fuck off" to Netflix's recommendations and they will still work with him

Two Pinocchio films in the same year? lol ok.

It happens often.

Deep Impact and Armageddon (1998)
Red Planet and Mission to Mars (1998)
Batman VS Superman and Civil War (2016)
Friends with Benefits and No Strings Attached (2011)
Volcano and Dante's Peak (1997)


I feel like people in Hollywood must shop the same script to these studios or some shit.

I want him to sharpen that nose to a fine point and jab some motherfuckers to death through the eyes. Where is the gritty pinnocho for jaded violence loving men????

Don't forget A Bug's Life and Antz

 

[LordCBH]

Damn that trailer just oozed style. I’m in.

 

[ManaByte]

I'm shocked Netflix allowed him to make Geppetto an old white dude.

I mean yeah these are all similar movies, but this is actually the same fairy tale here...

The two Mowgli/Jungle Book adaptations were pretty close together. Always interesting to see a Disney version and one based more on the source material.

 

[KyoZz]

Where is "At the Mountains of Madness" Guillermo?

Don’t forget mogli and jungle book. I think that was the same year…

 

[MaestroMike]

Looks great !

 

[jason10mm]

No kidding. What was so damned expensive about that script? Literally filming in Antartica? Growing a live Shoggoth? Some sort of incredibly prolonged CGI past earth sequence? I feel like you could base it partly on the "Ten Little Indians" idea of crew slowly disappearing with internal suspicion and kinda bookend it with the Lovecraft stuff. 2 hours of hallucinations of the dim past or an overly prolonged shoggoth chase sequence isn't how I would do it. A more contentious excavation party or even rival parties attacking each other all while shadowy shoggoths eat them could fill some run time until we get to the grand reveal and final "descent into madness" ending leading to a found footage ending or whatever.

Yep it sure does. Just find this one funny but I guess it’s similar to the Jungle Book one, I had totally forgotten about that.

 

[UnNamed]

Ok nice try.

But no one can beat the Pinocchio by Comencini.

What about the Roberto Benigni Pinocchio?

I'm still SALTY about this movie not happening

 

[Fuz]

Pinocchio movies NEVER end well.

 

[Alter_Fridge]

Wouldn't be a Del Toro film without Ron Perlman attached

 

[Davesky]

Looks much better than old timer Hanks and woke fairy version.

 

[Kev Kev]

Looks really good! I’ll check it out, for sure

 

[UnNamed]

What about the Roberto Benigni Pinocchio?

No please no.

 

[sol_bad]

It honestly doesn't feel like a Del Toro film at all.

 

[The Cockatrice]

Came to say this. It looks....too safe, generic shit.

 

[Pagusas]

I see Del Toro is now licensing out his name. Must be some hard fiscal times.

 

[BouncyFrag]

Del Toro’s handling of the kids turning into donkeys scene will be nightmare fuel.

 

[kruis]

Looks so much better than Disney's CGI remake.

 

[kruis]

Wow, there's an enormous difference between the like-dislike ratios of the Disney remake and the Del Tore stop motion version.

Disney version got 7 times more dislikes than likes while the Del Toro got one 1 dislike for every 100 likes. That's just crazy. People absolutely hated the Disney trailer.

 

[Macattk15]

I find Guillermo Del Toro to be one of the most overrated directors out there.

 

[NotMyProblemAnymoreCunt]

I find Guillermo Del Toro to be one of the most overrated directors out there.

His last 2 movies were horrible, so I agree with this statement for now

 

[Fools idol]

looks good tbh
