Tom Hanks Is in Talks to Star as Geppetto for Live-Action Pinocchio: Report

Tom Hanks is reportedly in talks to tackle an iconic Disney character.

The actor, 64, is in talks to star as Geppetto in the upcoming Disney live-action film Pinocchio, according to Deadline. A spokesperson for Disney did not immediately respond to PEOPLE's request for comment.

Robert Zemeckis is on board to direct the film. The movie would reunite the two film stalwarts after collaborating on the Oscar-winning film Forrest Gump, 2000’s Cast Away and 2004’s The Polar Express.

The original animated Pinocchio was released in 1940 and was based on the children’s novel by Carlo Collodi The Adventures of Pinocchio.
