PT Anderson, Downey Jr. team for WB's 'Pinocchio'

I'm surprised at the news. Paul Thomas Anderson is doing a rewrite for Pinocchio for WB and Team Downey, with an eye to direct. Robert Downey Jr. is onboard to play Gepetto, and the project has gone through drafts by Bryan Fuller, Jane Goldman, and more currently, Michael Mitnick (The Giver).

RDJ has been developing for years, but now the project has more urgency thanks to the success of Disney's Cinderella and Alice in Wonderland.
