Early this year, a curious pairing popped up in the form of director Tim Burton and Robert Downey Jr. possibly teaming up on a new take on Pinocchio. ?Downey Jr. subsequently spoke enthusiastically about the prospect, and now we have an update on the Warner Bros. project as Heat Vision reports that Stardust and X-Men: First Class co-writer Jane Goldman has been brought on to rewrite the script.? It?s a bit of a curious move as Pushing Daisies mastermind Bryan Fuller penned the intial draft, but I guess his script wasn?t up to snuff for the duo.
The new take on the classic story would find Downey Jr. playing Geppetto, the woodcarver responsible for creating the puppet boy Pinocchio who comes to life.? When Pinocchio goes missing, Geppetto must embark on a quest to bring him back.? Burton and Downey Jr. have yet to officially commit to the project, but WB apparently hopes to bring their courtship to a close with the hiring of Goldman as she?ll be incorporating Downey?s notes into her rewrite. ?This is one of a number of?Pinocchio-centered projects in development?at the moment, including a stop-motion animated take from?Guillermo del Toro and 20th Century Fox?s?The Three Misfortunes of Geppetto.
