Pinocchio and Jiminey Cricket in Pinocchio (1940)
Director Rhys Frake-Waterfield’s Twisted Childhood Universe has taken a major step by adding two horror icons to its upcoming feature Pinocchio: Unstrung. Robert Englund, who terrified a generation as Freddy Krueger in the Nightmare On Elm Street franchise, and Barbarian star Richard Brake have boarded the feature which will introduce a version of the wooden puppet unlike anything that has been seen before on the big screen.
'Pinocchio: Unstrung' Will Blend Horror with Humor Close ✕ Remove Ads “Not only is the script dark, twisted, and gory, it’s also at times very funny,” Brake said in a statement. Further adding “Todd Masters and his team have created incredible practical effects. Audiences are in for a crazy ride.” While plot details are scarce, the movie will follow a young boy James, who learns of his grandfather Geppetto’s deadly secret, a wooden doll, Pinocchio.
The new details further indicate that the budget may be much higher for this installment than for previous entries in the horror franchise. “Our movie flips everything you know about Pinocchio on its head,” Frake-Waterfield said about the slasher. “We have an incredibly talented cast and crew working on this. We are heavily relying on practical effects for all of the deaths and creature work. I can’t wait for the world to meet Pinocchio.
Pinocchio: Unstrung will crawl into theaters at some point next year. Watch Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey on Peacock. Stay tuned to Collider for more updates.
