Del Toro's Pinocchio was conceived with script-writer Matthew Robbins and inspired by storyteller Gris Grimly's unique vision of the classic Collodi fairytale, published in 2002. Grimly, a Los Angeles-based artist, will co-direct along with Mark Gustafson, the animation director for Wes Anderson's 2009 stop-motion feature Fantastic Mr. Fox. Production is set to begin later this year with famed Australian rock artist and film composer Nick Cave on board as a music consultant.
