'Pinocchio Unstrung' Trailer - Robert Englund & Richard Brake Join the Poohniverse in Gory Slasher - Bloody Disgusting

When you wish upon a star, you might just get a friend… who won’t stop becoming you. The iconic puppet has one hell of a glow up in the gory trailer for Pinocchio Unstrung, coming soon from ITN Distribution. The British slasher is the fifth entry in the Twisted Childhood Universe, following Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey and its sequel, Peter Pan’s Neverland Nightmare, and Bambi: The Reckoning. A dark coming-of-age reimagining of Carlo Collodi’s classic tale, Pinocchio Unstrung follows the iconic puppet’s disturbing journey toward becoming real. Richard Brake (Barbarian) stars as the obsessive Geppetto, with horror icon Robert Englund as the sinister voice of Jiminy Cricket. Pinocchio is voiced by Jude Evan Lloyd and brought to life via a practical animatronic created by Emmy winner Todd Masters (“Tales from the Crypt,” Slither). Cameron Bell, Jessica Balmer, Jack Art Gray, and Peter De Souza-Feighoney round out the cast. Rhys Frake-Waterfield (Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey) writes and directs, in addition to producing alongside Scott Jeffrey via their Jagged Edge Productions. “We built Pinocchio as a fully practical animatronic because I wanted him to feel real,” Frake-Waterfield tells Variety. “This is a twisted coming-of-age story told from the puppet’s perspective: a creation struggling for autonomy while being manipulated by the sinister forces around him.” The Poohniverse will continue with Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey 3, entering production in April, and the crossover film Poohniverse: Monsters Assemble, slated to shoot this summer.
