Helena Bonham Carter as the Blue Fairy, right? And...let's genderbend and have Winona Ryder as Jiminy Cricket...of course, knowing Burton, he'll stick with the original story and have Jiminy squooshed. Hm...who are the other regulars?

Live action Pinocchio? Jonathan Taylor Thomas did it.

I'll see your creepy JTT and raise you:

Here's the ideal cast:

Geppetto: Patrick Stewart

Pinocchio: Stephen Hawking

Wait wait wait... it's a new Tim Burton movie that DOESN'T star Johnny Depp as the main character???

Where's the tag, subby?

What are Bonham Carter and Depp going to play.

/yawn

Everyone knows the best Gepetto was Drew Carey.

Apparently he was too distraught over his recent breakup.

And by that I mean he was too busy farking every girl he walked past, the natural step when you breakup and become free.

When will Burton just become another punchline like M. Night Shyamalan? It has to be pretty close after that monstrosity that was Alice.

Burton needs to STFU. Seriously, Pinocchio??? That is what you are reduced to? Why not "Mary Had A Little Lamb", FFS?? At least nobody has done that one yet.

This is what happens when you are unwilling to pay good writers what they are worth, folks. You are left with your thumb up your own ass, trying to come up with something yourself, and looking like imbeciles because all you can manage is farking Pinocchio.

Jeez. Like we don't know EXACTLY what this movie is going to look and sound like?

Burton... please... hang it up. You were creative a couple decades ago. Now you're just plagiarizing yourself over and over. It's painful to watch.

I understand Geppetto to be a brilliant but troubled man, but what addiction could he be recovering from?

How many roles has rdj gotten because he doesnt look creepy with a moustache?

Wow! I haven't felt my "Vinnie Sense" tingling like this since I first heard about "Treasure Planet". I mean, just WTF were they thinking??

Would someone please get Tim Burton away from our classic children's movie remakes, please?

Enough, already.

I can almost hear the Elfman score already.

Goddamit! I just had a rectal exam yesterday and I'm here on Fark trying not to think about things going into asses right now. Thanks for reminding me!

We all know that this is going to end in Jimminy Cricket break-dancing.

...is there a reason for your bizarre formating, and apparent hatred for any form of capitalization or punctuation? Bourbon is a reason.

On topic: someone at work mentioned RDJ was back drinking/drugging, and was going to another rehab, anyone know if that's true? If so, I'd rather expect his carreer to die again. I mean, wasn't the reason he stopped getting work for a long time because no one would risk money on a picture with him in it, since he'd be relatively sure to miss a ton of days, delay filming, etc.?

And Depp will do voice-over on a stop motion Pinocchio?
