Pinocchio finally gets to be a real boy! The teaser trailer for Disney's live-action film of the beloved cartoon Pinocchio dropped and features Tom Hanks ...

The latest live-action/computer-generated remake, based on the 1883 Italian children's book and 1940 Disney animated film, has been in development since 2015, per IndieWire—and it's not the year's only flick about the wooden puppet come to life. Alongside Hanks and Ainsworth, also starring in the film (which is set for release this September) is a star-studded cast ensemble including Cynthia Erivo, Luke Evans, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Keegan-Michael Key and Lorraine Bracco. On May 31, Disney released the official teaser trailer for this year's live-action film, Pinocchio, which stars Hanks as hopeful woodcarver Geppetto. In the almost two-minute long clip, the 65-year-old—unrecognizable with gray hair, a gray mustache and small-framed glasses—recites his wish upon a star aloud, bringing the optimistic puppet Pinocchio (voiced by Benjamin Evan Ainsworth) to life.

Hanks recalled to the BBC's "The One Show" the moment he dined next to Queen Elizabeth at a state banquet for the Obamas in 2011.

"Things are not going to be the same as they were in the animation. He added that the role is expanded for the new movie. "Star light, star bright, first star I see tonight," Geppetto says in the teaser trailer, reciting the iconic prayer from the original film.

Disney's latest live-action adaptation also stars Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Cynthia Erivo, Keegan Michael Key, and more.

Disney’s new take on the fairytale (originally written by Carlo Collodi) is not to be confused with any of the others going around, including Guillermo del Toro’s upcoming Netflix retelling or the unexpectedly viral Pauly Shore version. The teaser also offers a tantalizing glimpse of Cynthia Erivo as the Blue Fairy, granting wishes–and life–to the wooden puppet. The teaser does feature a good bit of action from Jiminy Cricket (voiced by Joseph Gordon-Levitt), who runs, jumps, slides, and umbrella-glides his way around town.

The film, a live-action version of Disney's 1940 animated classic, will premiere on Disney+ worldwide on Sept. 8, 2022. That's timed for Disney+ Day, the Mouse ...

Robert Zemeckis directs “Pinocchio.” Hanks stars as Geppetto, the wood carver who builds and treats Pinocchio (Ainsworth) as if he were his own son. Other upcoming live-action remakes of Disney animated films include the theatrical release “The Little Mermaid,” scheduled for May 26, 2023, and “Peter Pan & Wendy,” which like “Pinocchio” will be a Disney+ exclusive. That’s timed for Disney+ Day, the Mouse House’s celebration of the streamer that it first produced last year.

Tom Hanks recently claimed that Queen Elizabeth's favorite cocktail is not the oft-told legend of the Dubonnet cocktail but rather a simple martini.

He added that the queen’s taste for wine is not a nightly event. The spirit contains notes of hawthorn berries, lemon verbena, mulberry leaves and bay leaves and sells for $50 for a 24-ounce bottle. The palace’s exclusive dry gin is made with ingredients from the gardens of the queen’s London residence. “She had the one. I knew I was going to be sitting next to her so I wanted to be able to talk about things that were of import but not presumptuous. “I sat right next to the queen,” the Oscar winner said.

Tom Hanks had dinner with the Queen during a special event for the former President of the United States and the First Lady, Barack and Michelle Obama.

Tom said: "I was dressed up very nicely. The 65-year-old added: "I knew I was going to be sat next to her and so I wanted to be able to talk about things that were of import but not presumptuous. He told the host that he sat next to the Queen and 'some lady in a lovely tiara' who was right next to him.

For his performance in Forrest Gump Hanks made about $70 million, equivalent to around $120 million today. With the notable exception of Toy Story, but I think that’s probably a fair decision. Tom Hanks has once again hit the headlines in the UK after he revealed the Queen’s cocktail of choice and praised the BBC during media appearances to promote the new biopic.

Disney+ has set the premiere date and released the first trailer for Pinocchio, Robert Zemeckis' live-action remake starring Tom Hanks.

Also in the cast are Kyanne Lamaya as Fabiana (and her marionette Sabina), Giuseppe Battiston as Señor Stromboli and Lewin Lloyd as Lampwick. Hanks stars as Geppetto, the wood carver who builds and treats Pinocchio (Benjamin Evan Ainsworth) as if he were his own son.

Tom Hanks revealed the Queen's favourite cocktail on The One Show, and it's just as sophisticated as you'd expect.

So a few things like how often she truly has time off, it was nice chit chat, it was okay.” The film maps the life and career of rock and roll icon Presley, from his early years in Memphis to his rise to stardom and legend certification. “I sat next to the Queen closer than Austin and some lady in a lovely tiara was right next to me,” he explained.

We’ll have to wait a little bit longer to see what it’s like when a wooden puppet becomes a real boy. If you want to sell movie tickets, though, you’re better off having a plan than making a wish. When you wish upon a star, it makes no difference who you are.

The actor joined BBC's "The One Show" and revealed what Queen Elizabeth II drank at dinner.

"It was a clear liquid, and so I dared to ask the queen, 'And what is your majesty's cocktail of choice?' and she said, 'Ooh, martini.'" "I knew I was going to be sitting next to her so I wanted to be able to talk about things that were of import but not presumptuous. "The chit-chat with the queen is something you gotta get ready for," he continued.

Hollywood star Hanks also told how he was a fan of BBC wildlife programme Springwatch.
