The classic children's tale revolves around a wooden puppet and his maker Geppetto, AceShowbiz reports citing Deadline. Peter Hedges ("The Odd Life of Timothy Green") is hired to pen a script loosely based on the original story which follows the puppet whose nose grows when he tells a lie as he goes on a quest to become a real boy. Disney's other remakes include "The Jungle Book", "Beauty and the Beast (2017)", "Dumbo", "Pete's Dragon", "Mulan", "Winnie the Pooh (2017)", and "Through the Looking Glass".
