DVD, Blu-ray & 4K: GUILLERMO DEL TORO'S PINOCCHIO (2022)

BUY FROM AMAZON

Product Description: A classic tale is reborn through the inspired imagination of cinematic dream-weaver Guillermo del Toro, directing alongside Mark Gustafson. Realized through boundary-pushing, breathtakingly intricate stop-motion animation, this dark rendering of the fable of the puppet boy and his maker—which won the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature—daringly transfers the story to Fascist Italy, where the irrepressible Pinocchio gradually learns what it means to be human through his experiences of war, death, and sacrifice. Featuring the voices of Ewan McGregor, Cate Blanchett, Tilda Swinton, and Christoph Waltz, this Pinocchio imbues the oft-told tale with a bold new resonance about living with courage and compassion.

Razzie Awards 2023 Winners: BLONDE and Tom Hanks Win Big

The unlucky winners of the 43rd annual Razzie Awards have been announced. The Marilyn Monroe biopic "Blonde" won top dishonors (Worst Picture & Worst Screenplay), while Tom Hanks went home with no less than two trophies for Worst Supporting Actor and Worst Screen Combo (for Hanks and his latex face), both for his performance in the otherwise acclaimed biopic "Elvis". The Worst Director award went to Machine Gun Kelly aka Colson Baker and Mod Sun for their work on "Good Mourning".

Disney also enjoyed a win this awards season in the Worst Remake/Rip-Off/Sequel category with their horrible live-action farse "Pinocchio". Jared Leto was named Worst Actor for his meme-orable performance in "Morbius". The superhero flick also delivered Adria Arjona a win for Worst Suppporting Actress.

In a surprising turn-of-events, the Best Actress award went to the Razzies themselves for the ill-conceived nomination of a pre-teen for worst actress. The Golden Raspberry Awards committee publicly apologized to the actress and changed the rules to disallow anyone under 18 before putting the awards organization in her place on the ballot.

Razzie Award Nominations 2023: Jared Leto, Tom Hanks and BLONDE

Before we get to the best of 2022, we first have to wade through the worst of 2022. The Razzie Awards once again highlight some of the worst movies and performances of the past year. The main contender this year appears to be Andrew Dominik's controversial Marilyn Monroe biopic "Blonde", which received no less than eight nominations, including Worst Picture and Director. Lead actress Ana de Armas did not receive a Razzie nomination, ending up with an Oscar nod instead, which in this case might be of little comfort as the quality of the movie virtually negates any chance of actually winning the Academy Award.

The other major contenders are the Machine Gun Kelly stoner comedy "Good Mourning" with seven nods, the comic book flick "Morbius" with five nomiantions, including one for lead actor Jared Leto for his meme-worthy performance, and Disney's reviled "Pinocchio" remake with six nominations. Tom Hanks outperformed all actors this year with three nods for two movies, "Pinocchio" and "Elvis".

Tom Hanks in Talks to Play Geppetto in Disney’s PINOCCHIO

Two-time Oscar winner Tom Hanks is in early negotiations to star as Geppetto in Disney's upcoming live-action version of "Pinocchio". Robert Zemeckis is on board to direct. Hanks and Zemeckis previously worked together on "Forrest Gump" (1994), "Cast Away" (2000) and "The Polar Express" (2004).

The screenplay is penned by Zemeckis and Chris Weitz ("About a Boy"). The latter is also producing with Andrew Miano.

Disney's 1940 animated classic was based on Carlo Collodi's children's novel "The Adventures of Pinocchio", and the story centers on a wood-carver named Geppetto who carves a wooden puppet brought to life by a fairy — and told he will become a real boy if he proves himself to be brave, truthful, and unselfish.

Hanks still needs to finish filming the Elvis Presley biopic directed by Baz Luhrmann, after production was suspended after Hanks and his wife, Rita Wilson, fell ill with COVID-19. Production is expected to resume in the fall in Australia. The actor recently shattered viewing records with his WWII drama "Greyhound", which premiered on Apple TV+.
