Guillermo Del Toro and Nick Cave are teaming up for a creepy new take on the Pinocchio fairytale.
Del Toro will produce the stop-motion animated film, while Cave will provide the movie's score.
The director insists his version of Pinocchio will be more faithful to Carlo Colodi's dark fairytale than the 1940 animated Disney musical.
Del Toro, who is also co-writing the movie's screenplay, has stepped aside as the project's director, according to Deadline.com, and Gris Grimly and Mark Gustafson have taken on the film between them.
Del Toro was last in the director's chair back in 2008 with Hellboy II: The Golden Army. He was expected to direct The Hobbit but pulled out of the project last year due to delays.
However he has been on producing duties working on Splice, Julia's Eyes , Don't Be Afraid Of The Dark and Kung Fu Panda 2.
