The first look features a grey-haired Geppetto looking at the wooden puppet Pinocchio. Based on the famous children's novel by Carlo Collodi, Pinocchio is the story of a puppet who comes to life and wants to lead the life of a young, adventurous boy. 

The film is directed by veteran filmmaker Robert Zemeckis known for films like Who Framed Roger Rabbit, Forrest Gump and Cast Away. Apart from Hanks, Pinocchio also stars Benjamin Evan Ainsworth as Pinocchio, Joseph Gordon-Levitt as Jiminy Cricket and Cynthia Erivo as the Blue Fairy.
