Warner Bros. had a bad experience with Carlo Collodi's wooden boy in the past. It developed an adaptation with Francis Ford Coppola in the 1990s, which never came together. Coppola sued the studio when they blocked his efforts to move the project to Columbia. As a result, Coppola was awarded $20 million.
