In case you haven't noticed, between last year's "Maleficent," this week's "Cinderella" and the forthcoming "The Jungle Book" and "Beauty And The Beast," Disney is dipping hard into its catalog of classic animated movies and turning them into live action spectacles.
THR reports that Tim Burton will direct the live action remake of "Dumbo" for Disney. The project has been in the works for a while now, with "Transformers" franchise writer Ehren Kruger hired last summer to bang out a script. The story will introduce a human family to join Dumbo's journey and will be a mix of CG and live action. There's no release date
I didn't know Tim Burton had so many haters. Dumbo sounds perfect for Burton. The film always had really dark undertones and Burton will bring those to the forefront and give the story some new life.
I'm so over him doing this huge lighthearted Disney movies. Big Eyes was alright but I want him to do something DARK again like Sweeney Todd, Corpse Bride etc
