REAL STEEL Director Might Get To Helm PINOCCHIO Prequel, THE THREE MISFORTUNES OF GEPPETTO, For Fox

I met director Shawn Levy (Night At The Museum) at Real Steel Junket and he was wearing special custom Real Steel vans shoes. I’m a bit pissed at myself for not taking photo of those shoes, I wasn’t thinking at the time. Whoever came up with them needs to seriously capitalize or bank some big bucks on them because they looked absolutely fantastic.
Deadline reported that 20th Century Fox has bought the spec script THE THREE MISFORTUNES OF GEPPETTO, scripted by Michael Vukadinovich and Levy is attached to direct this prequel to the classic tale of Pinocchio.
The project aims to explain the days when Geppetto endures a life of misfortune, war and adventure, just to be with his true love, Julia Moon.
But Levy is also attached to Fox’s FRANKENSTEIN project and FANTASTIC VOYAGE reboot, so who knows when he’s going to get around to doing this Pinocchio prequel.
