Wrong, just completely and provably false 😼 I’m not sure how I could prove it to you exactly, but if you asked my friends they all know about how much I would read up extensively on Guilermo’s inside work for the picture. The dragon designs, the sweeping vision, the dwarfs, it was all set to be so great. The fact that you think I would not only not know this but not be following the ins and outs of the production process is simply flabbergusting if you actually knew how deeply I study films.

Well of course I know he left the project obviously. I meant the work he did before he left the project, obviously. 🙄 It was very good work.

Listen Giulermo Del Toro is great director, I absolutely loved what he did with the Hobbit movies. But to call Pinocchio groundbreaking is like calling Mary Had a Little Lamb groundbreaking because you give the Lamb PCP before you put on your tap dancing shoes 🙄

Pinocchio is one of the most basic and worn out stories out there. There’s been at least 7 or 8 Pinocchio movies, some of them adult films sure, but those are still stories. We all know about the tiny wooden boy who lies so much thst his nose turns into a oak tree. We all know that Gepetto is a bitch, and hems and haws all day about a basic boy puppet. Completely bog standard yawn fuel at this point. 🥱

I wish Guillermo would take on more challenging projects at some point. Maybe a movie about The Trail of Tears? It’s a fascinating historical event that could really become a great epic action thriller. And it could give us as a society a prime opportunity to cast Native Americans in prominent roles, to make up for past injustices. You can’t undo smallpox, but you can at least give out a few “my bad” tokens. I think it’s a great start.

If on an off chance Guillermo is reading this, please start being more adventurous in your movies. If you or one of his agents wants to pm I have plenty of ideas.
