Guillermo del Toro‘s stop motion adaptation of the Carlo Collodi classic Pinocchio is getting ready for it’s 2014 debut and mumurs of voice casting are just starting to emerge.
According to THR, “Del Toro is busy creating a dark, atmospheric tale with the story of Pinocchio and his father Geppetto.
He said Daniel Radcliffe had approached him “to get involved in the project” and said Tom Waits was on his wish list to play a part as one of the voice cast. Throwing out names, del Toro also said he instantly thought of Christopher Walken when he imagined the part played by the fox in the story but was at pains to point out that no one has yet signed to the voice cast.”
Nick Cave has long been mentioned as composing the score to the film and co-writer Gus Grimly is certainly familiar with the material. It’s his version of the film that this adaptation is based.
