Levy, who is currently serving as producer on NEIGHBORHOOD WATCH with Vince Vaughn and Ben stiller, has seen his latest film REAL STEEL top the US box-office for the second week in a row.
THE THREE MISFORTUNES OF GEPPETTO will focus on the earlier life of Pinnochio’s creator and his efforts to be with his true love Julia Moon. The film is expected to go before the cameras once Levy finishes his next feature, the latest stab at adapting Mary Shelley’s iconic novel FRANKENSTEIN from a Max Landis script.
