The screenplay for this new version of Dumbo comes from Ehren Kruger.
Kruger may not be a household name but he’s responsible for some of the biggest movies ever made.
He’s also written fan favorites like The Brothers Grimm, Reindeer Games and Arlington Road and movies that weren’t necessarily favorites, like the recent Ghost in the Shell remake with Scarlett Johansson.
There really isn’t anything on his resume that looks anything like what we expect Dumbo to be, which could indicate a very different sort of movie or it could indicate Kruger is taking his first shot at something very different for him.
