Casting News for Pinocchio: Unstrung

Hello there horror fans! Dream team cast Robert Englund and Richard Brake are all set to captivate us in the upcoming movie Pinocchio: Unstrung. Remember the eerie nursery rhyme from A Nightmare on Elm Street? Well, Englund, one of its famous features, is part of this gory take on the story of Pinocchio. Interesting, isn’t it?

Englund and Brake’s Famous Roles

In our beloved original story, the Blue Fairy assigns Cricket to guide Pinnochio on his quest to become a real boy. Englund is set to take on this role while Brake has been cast as Geppetto. Brake, known for his performance in 3 From Hell and Halloween II, is thrilled to be part of the action, praising the script and the film’s VFX done by Todd Masters in his official statement.

Practical Effects and Gore to Expect

Be prepared for a visual feast, as Masters and his team have woven magics with practical effects. Masters is no stranger to the limelight. His works have already been showcased in Dune: Part Two, Child’s Play, and Tales from the Crypt: Demon Knight. Now, he’ll be bringing Pinocchio to life using his creative genius. According to him, the film still orbits around Pinocchio’s ambition to turn into a real boy. But the thing to watch out for is the twisted and extremely fun manner he chases this dream.

An Expanding Universe of Twisted Childhood Memories

Pinocchio: Unstrung is one franchise in The Twisted Childhood Universe (Poohniverse), a series created by Rhys Frake-Waterfield and Scott Jeffrey. This horrifying universe takes our beloved childhood characters and spins them into bloodthirsty monsters. Along with Pinocchio: Unstrung, you can also expect Peter Pan’s Neverland Nightmare and Bambi: The Reckoning to be part of the 2025 release lineup in Poohniverse

Poohniverse: Monsters Assemble is aimed to be the ultimate horror blend, slated for release alongside the other franchises in 2025. This film will bring together various characters such as Pooh, Piglet, Tiger, Bambi, Pinnochio, and Cricket, and will also present new ones like Rabbit, Sleeping Beauty, and the Mad Hatter.

Following the Success of Previous Installments

The creators of this unnerving universe definitely know what they’re doing – their previous film, Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey, made a whopping $7 million at the box office while being produced on just a $500,000 budget! Although critics only gave it a 46% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, the audience score sat at a much healthier 74%. So, there’s a clear demand for such gore-infused reimaginations of our childhood narratives.

In Conclusion

Whether the critics like it or not, we can’t help but enjoy seeing our childhood stories in such a thrillingly gruesome new light. So bring it on, Poohniverse. We’re eagerly waiting to see the twisted journey of Pinnochio and his pals. But watch out, because if it’s anything like its predecessors, we’re sure to be in for quite the thrill ride.
