Tom Hanks is reportedly in early talks to play Geppetto in Disney’s upcoming live-action Pinocchio movie. Hanks’ name was first brought up back in 2018, though that was when Paddington director Paul King was attached to helm the project. News about the project has been pretty quiet since then, except for the fact that Robert Zemeckis is now on board to direct. Zemeckis was announced as director earlier this year, but we hadn’t heard any updates about Hanks’ involvement until now.
