Just saw the trailer for the upcoming Pinocchio film. When I heard about a new film version, I kind of got excited because I remembered how well I enjoyed Collodi's book when I was younger (and how disappointed I was in the Jonathan Taylor Thomas version). Well, seeing this trailer. Well... it looks weird. I don't know, maybe I'm missing something, as I'm not familiar with Roberto Benigni's work. But he's a fully grown man! He doesn't even look like a puppet! It brings back horrible memories of a 1982 "Faerie Tale Theater" version starring Paul "Pee-Wee Herman" Reubens that I saw when I was very little (I'm only 16 right now).
Can somebody tip me off on this? Is Benigni some kind of creative genius that might somehow redeem what looks to be a horrible trainwreck?
And this appears to be a foreign film. If it is, will it be dubbed and/or subtitled, or is it actually in English?
