    Oscar nominee Cynthia Erivo is joining a fairly high-profile live-action remake at Disney, and we’re pretty interested to see what she does! As just announced, Erivo will be playing the iconic Blue Fairy in Robert Zemeckis‘s upcoming “Pinocchio” adaptation.

    Erivo is a multi-talented singer, actress, and song writer who is just one step away from EGOT status. Had she won her nomination for Best Actress for her portrayal of Harriet Tubman in “Harriet,” she would’ve been the youngest actor ever to achieve an Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, and Tony award.

    She’ll be joining Tom Hanks as Geppetto, Joseph Gordon Levitt as  Jiminy Cricket, Benjamin Evan Ainsworth voicing the title character of Pinocchio, Keegan-Michael Key as the voice of Honest John, and Lorraine Bracco as the voice of Sofia the Seagull (a new character).

    Zemeckis and Chris Weitz co-write the script. Production is scheduled to kick off in April in the UK.

    “Pinocchio” will be an original film for Disney’s streaming service, Disney+.

    We’ll let you know what else we hear about the project.

    Mary Anne Butler (Mab) has been part of the fast-paced world of journalism since she was 15, getting her start in album reviews and live concert coverage for a nationally published (print) music magazine. She eventually transitioned to online media, writing for such sites as UGO/IGN, ComicsOnline, Geek Magazine, Ace of Geeks, Aggressive Comix (where she is still Editor-in-Chief), Bleeding Cool (where she was News Editor), and now Nerdbot as Editor-In-Chief. Over the past 10 years, she’s built a reputation at conventions across the globe as a cosplayer (occasionally), photographer (constantly), panelist and moderator (mostly), and reporter (always). Interviews, reviews, observations, breaking news, and objective reporting are the name of the game for the founder of Harkonnen Knife Fight, a Dune-themed band with an international presence. Though she be but little, she is fierce.
