The team behind the Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey movies is currently hard at work on a film titled Pinocchio: Unstrung, but that’s not the only Pinocchio horror movie on the way.
Neither movie will be the first Pinocchio horror movie, however. Up above you’ll see a still from Pinocchio’s Revenge, which was released way back in 1996! But I digress…
Variety reports this morning that Peter Stormare (Clown, lots of cool shit) will star in the upcoming Pinocchio: Carved from Darkness from Oceana Studios.
The company is launching sales at the upcoming Cannes market.
Variety details, “This dark turn on Carlo Collodi’s classic 1883 tale sees woodcarver Geppetto (Peter Stormare) carve a puppet resembling his recently deceased son from a block of wood discarded at a crime scene and cursed by Agatha, the priestess of a dark cult.
“As Pinocchio turns into a vengeful killer, a teen named Charlie and his mother Nancy arrive in the town looking for a fresh start. Meanwhile, a detective named Georgina starts investigating Agatha’s crimes. The characters intertwine with some tragic consequences.”
Vicki Berlin and Daniel Nuta will also star in Pinocchio: Carved from Darkness. Joona Tena (“Superfurball”) is directing the film, written by Paulie Siegel (“Jeremiah”).
Danny Sawaf of Oceana Studios, previews, “We’re thrilled to tell a story that has entertained people around the world for well over a century. Ours is set in a modern world while subverting the audiences expectations given the character has personified good since its inception. The combination of CG and live action will be surreal and audiences are going to be riveted.”
