When the man behind Pan’s Labyrinth and The Orphanage decides to make a 3-D stop-motion Pinocchio remake, you just know it’s going to be a lot more odd and unsettling than the classic Disney kids movie. So why not add a dash of Daniel Radcliffe and make it downright bizarre? Director Guillermo Del Toro bragged to an audience at the Cannes Film Festival this week that the Harry Potter star expressed an interest in “getting involved” in the film, presumably as the voice of the wooden boy himself.

When the man behind Pan’s Labyrinth and The Orphanage decides to make a 3-D stop-motion Pinocchio remake, you just know it’s going to be a lot more odd and unsettling than the classic Disney kids movie. So why not add a dash of Daniel Radcliffe and make it downright bizarre? Director Guillermo Del Toro bragged to an audience at the Cannes Film Festival this week that the Harry Potter star expressed an interest in “getting involved” in the film, presumably as the voice of the wooden boy himself. Did we mention singer Tom Waits is probably going to be Geppetto? Sure, why wouldn’t he be? Makes those creepy, donkey-riddled Pleasure Island scenes in the Disney Pinocchio seem downright normal! Just kidding, of course! That island will haunt us forever. Why were those boys all smoking cigars? That ain’t right!
Del Toro is also hoping to snag Christopher Walken for the film’s malevolent fox villain. The director vowed that movie would be way more faithful to the original story, ”more surreal and slightly darker” and would be set in Italy between the World Wars. Because why wouldn’t he go all out with the desolate, terrifying aspect of a heartwarming fairytale? The Blue Fairy is going to be some sort of horrible mantis, isn’t she? Isn’t she, Del Toro?

Taylor Swift went for lunch with Foster The People front-man Mark Foster yesterday, and apparently in Hollywood that means you’re ready to settle down and put a deposit on twin cemetery plots. Gossip sites are tossing their cookies at the prospect of the two young musicians hooking up, but it’s a Friday afternoon so we’ll bite.
Taylor Swift went for lunch with Foster The People front-man Mark Foster yesterday, and apparently in Hollywood that means you’re ready to settle down and put a deposit on twin cemetery plots. Gossip sites are tossing their cookies at the prospect of the two young musicians hooking up, but it’s a Friday afternoon so we’ll bite. The pair were spotted dining al fresco in LA yesterday, with Taylor rocking her trademark Ladies-Of-The-Canyon steez in a flowing peach sundress and floppy hat. Foster, ever the rocker, showed up looking like Dr. House in a sport-coat, t-shirt and jeans. It’s remains to be seen if T-Swift “fostered” Mark’s “people”, but the willowy songstress has been linked to her share of dudes over the short span of her career. Just last month it was rumored that she was seeing pious footballer Tim Tebow, and that’s only the latest of oh so many. Check out the gallery below for a complete run-down of Taylor Swift’s romantic past!
