Who will do the voices in Pinocchio of Guillermo del Toro?
Working with a filmmaker as renowned as del Toro is a dream for many actors. So we’re not surprised that he’s assembled such an impressive cast to voice the iconic characters in this story. Ewan McGregor stars as Jiminy Cricket, David Bradley will be Geppetto, and Gregory Mann in his film presentation will be responsible for voicing him to Pinocchio.
Finn Wolfhard (It – That), Cate Blanchett, John Turturro (Batman), Christoph Waltz, Tilda Swinton and Ron Perlman, one of the director’s favorite actors.
What can we expect from this version?
Knowing the work of Guillermo del Toro, Pinocchio It will surely have some differences and a very particular tone compared to previous versions of the character. For this reason, many studios refused to produce this version, fearing that the investment would not result in a successful project, as the director commented after obtaining the green light from Netflix (via):
“I have tried to do Pinocchio For ten years and I’ve been to every studio in Hollywood, they all said no. So whoever says yes, with that person I will make the film. As a child I felt a certain kinship with the figure of Pinocchio. He was very interested in knowing if he could be himself and be loved. The beautiful thing about him is that he is not a perfect creature. He is a very difficult boy. I look at him and I think that Pinocchio is an oddity, a strange creature, and I love him for that.”
As a curiosity for fans of the character, this will not be the only version of Pinocchio to be released this year; however, this will feature Mexican talent in production. The outstanding animator Karla Castañeda is part of the art team and several Mexicans participated in the animation, which, judging by what was seen in the first preview, looks spectacular.
