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+.

Dwayne Johnson To Play Kamehameha In Robert Zemeckis' THE KING

Dwayne Johnson has signed on to star as Hawaiian king Kamehameha in the historical epic "The King". Freshly acquired by Warner Bros and New Line, the film will be directed by Robert Zemeckis ("Cast Away", "Forrest Gump") from a screenplay written by "Braveheart" scribe Randall Wallace. The film doesn't have a release date, but production is expected to begin in 2020.

Kamehameha I, or Kamehameha the Great, was the founder and first ruler of the Kingdom of Hawaii. He succeeded in uniting the warring Hawaiian islands after several battles during the 1790s, fulfilling the prophecy that surrounded his fabled life since birth. Johnson said the following about his casting: "From the day I began my Hollywood career (2001), my dream was to bring this legacy to life".

There have been previous attempts to film Kamehameha's story in the early 2000s, including one in which Johnson would have starred, written by former Maui resident Greg Poirier ("Rosewood"), which was picked up by Columbia Pictures but never produced. At the time, objections were raised regarding Johnson not being Hawaiian (he is half Samoan and half African-American). Social media responses today featured some of the same objections, but are largely positive. It seems that Jason Momoa was regarded as a favourite for the part.

In response to some of the doubts expressed online, Johnson released a statement in which he stated: "The response to our King Kamehameha announcement has been incredible worldwide. A true privilege and dream for me to bring King Kamehameha’s legacy to life on the silver screen. The cultural and historical significance of this role, I hold with the highest respect and reverence; and, I’m honored to share the epic story of our people and culture with the world. Imua!".

Renée Zellweger to Lead Netflix Anthology Series WHAT/IF

Oscar winner Renee Zellweger will make her return to television with the upcoming Netflix anthology series "What/If". The drama has received a straight-to-series order, and will consist of 10 episodes.

Described as a social thriller, the show will explore the ripple effects of what happens when acceptable people start doing unacceptable things. Each season will feature a different morality tale inspired by culturally consequential source material, and the power of a single fateful decision to change the trajectory of an entire life.

Zellweger will star as Anne, a shrewd and mercurial San Francisco venture capitalist. According to various online reports, the first season will focus on two struggling newlyweds who accept a powerful woman’s (Zellweger) ethically perilous proposition to secure a badly needed financial windfall.

The series is created by Mike Kelley ("Revenge", "Swingtown"), who will also serve as showrunner and writer for the series. Robert Zemeckis, Jack Rapke, Melissa Loy, Alex Gartner and Charles Roven will executive produce. The first two episodes will be directed by Phillip Noyce ("Patriot Games", "The Quiet American").
